Show Notes

Hello Beautiful souls, the voice of Monica Cox here, guiding you through another riveting episode where we dig deep into the nitty-gritty of making choices that matter. Buckle up because this ride is full of raw honesty, unapologetic truth bombs, and a sprinkle of existential musings.

In today’s chat, we’re peeling back the layers of our everyday decisions, especially those we faced during the pandemic. Remember that time when we all turned into reluctant guinea pigs for something we barely understood? Yeah, we’re diving into that mess, acknowledging the BS we swallowed, and discussing how we managed (or didn’t) to keep our sanity intact.

Monica and her guest bravely share their tales of standing up (or not) against the tide of conformity, discussing the ultimate truths they had to face about themselves. Spoiler alert: it’s not all rainbows and unicorns. We’re talking about the real deal – the emotional tug-of-war between professional obligations and personal beliefs.

But it’s not all doom and gloom. We’re also celebrating the victories of radical honesty, the power of acknowledging our deepest truths, and the freedom that comes from it. And if you’ve ever felt like the odd one out in your journey of self-improvement, this episode will resonate deeply with you. We touch on the isolation that can come with personal growth and how it sometimes feels like we’re triggers in human form, setting off reactions left and right.

So, sit back, relax (or not), and let’s get real about the choices we make and the lives we live. We promise you’ll leave with a few nuggets of wisdom and maybe a chuckle or two at our expense. Enjoy the ride!
