Show Notes:
Hello beautiful souls, the voice of Monica Cox here, guiding you through the labyrinth of life choices and all the hilarity that ensues. In this episode, we dive headfirst into the chaotic pool of motherhood—spoiler alert: it's nothing like the brochure. We chat about the fine line between making sacrifices and simply making choices. Ever feel like you're playing a cosmic game of chess without knowing the rules? You're not alone.
Monica gets real about fertility health, the importance of cycle tracking, and how it ties into knowing yourself on a deeper level. We also tackle the heavy burden of being the 'savior' in our families and how setting boundaries can save your sanity. And let's not forget the whimsical world of creativity—why is it so darn hard to just pick up a paintbrush and go wild?
Join us as we navigate these topics with a mix of humor, raw honesty, and a sprinkle of sarcasm. Because if we can't laugh at the absurdity of it all, what's the point?

We’re here learning and growing alongside you as we move the conversation forward together from the BS that’s crushing authentic voices and keeping many in a loop of self-destruction. We’re here to make better choices consciously and truly understand the connection to our subconscious mind. We’re seeking the questions no one is daring to ask and are here to listen to answers with an open mind & loving heart - are you willing to do the same and help move the conversation forward? Alos, anything written or said about diet and mental health are my opinions, that I have formed over the years, through trial and error, study, reading, listening and observing. What worked for me, may not work for you. I am not a doctor, therapist, nutritionist or dietician and all medical advice should be gotten from a qualified professional.
