Monica Denais, a Latinx Licensed Professional Counselor, grew up in a predominately hispanic neighborhood that didn't exactly prioritize mental health. After the loss of her cousin, Monica decided to dive headfirst into studying psychology and, more importantly, aim to find a way to help as many people as possible. She now works with ambitious women and entrepreneurs in Dallas, TX. She helps them overcome anxiety, perfectionism, and burnout so they can feel confident in both life and business.
In this episode, we discuss:
+ All the different career paths Monica considered going into before becoming an entrepreneur
+ What led to her decision to pursue rehabilitation counseling
+ The impact Monica has had on her family by becoming a therapist
+ The conception of Cafe with Monica Podcast
+ How difficult it was to leave an amazing job in order to pursue her business full time and the fears that came with this departure
+ Why we (especially women) struggle to set boundaries so much and why we should revisit them often
Plus, the lessons Monica learned by taking a social media hiatus, being content exactly where you are, and feeling fear but doing it anyway.
