    Jun 29 2026

    The Stories That Run Your Life
    Jun 24 2026
    There's a version of you that got decided a long time ago — and it's been running the show ever since.

    Smaller Than You Think
    Jun 22 2026
    You've tried to change before. You went big, you started strong, and then life happened and the whole thing fell apart — again. This episode is about why that pattern keeps repeating, and why the answer is almost embarrassingly small. Monique explores the science behind why dramatic gestures don't stick, and what it actually takes to build something that lasts. Ready to break the cycle for good?

  • Stop Trying To Be Understood

    Stop Trying To Be Understood
    Jun 19 2026
    Most of us spend a huge amount of our lives trying to make people understand us. The long explanation. The third re-phrase. The 3am perfect sentence. The screenshot we send to a friend. The argument we have with our partner for the fifth time. We think we're looking for resolution. We're actually looking for something else. And in this episode, Monique names it — and offers a way to put it down that will quietly change your relationships and your nervous system at the same time. In this episode: — The hidden hunger underneath the constant need to be understood — Why even when people finally agree, the relief only lasts an hour — Why some people in your life are simply not built to see what you see — and why that doesn't mean the relationship is broken — A small, surprisingly powerful practice for witnessing yourself before you go hunting for one outside The 10 Minute Mind® Ready to break the cycle for good?

  • The Anger Underneath Your Calm

    The Anger Underneath Your Calm
    Jun 17 2026
    There are two kinds of calm. Only one of them is actually calm. If you have always been the steady one, the soft-voiced one, the one everyone goes to in a crisis, this episode might land differently than you expect. Because some of us are calm because we have worked through what we feel — and some of us are calm because we have spent decades sitting on it. The difference matters. And it shows up, eventually, in the body. In this episode: — The two kinds of calm and how to tell them apart — Why suppressed anger costs you your boundaries, your desire, and your aliveness — What the body keeps on your behalf when you don't — A small five-minute experiment to find out what you've been carrying — What to do if what comes up is bigger than you expected The 10 Minute Mind® Ready to break the cycle for good?

    The One Word Missing From Your Gratitude Practice
    Jun 15 2026
    If you've been writing a gratitude list every morning and nothing in your life feels any different, this episode is for you. Most gratitude practice is performance dressed up as practice. A list of words that never made it into the body. And it's why people can do it for years and feel exactly the same. There is one word missing. One. Once you put it in, the whole practice changes — and it becomes the foundation of a happiness baseline that actually holds. In this episode: — Why a gratitude list on its own doesn't move anything — The one word that turns gratitude from performance into practice — How to drop out of the head and into the felt experience — What spiritual bypass actually looks like — A one-thing-a-day practice you can start today The 10 Minute Mind® Ready to break the cycle for good?

    You're Not Bored. You're Terrified Of Being Alone With Yourself.
    Jun 12 2026
    We keep blaming our phones. We keep blaming dopamine. I want to tell you something true that nobody seems willing to say out loud. Your phone is not the problem. Your phone is the solution to a much bigger problem nobody wants to name. And until you name it, no amount of screen time settings, no amount of digital detoxing, is going to do a single thing. In this episode I unpack what the phone is actually protecting you from, the first time I had to look at it in myself on a silent retreat, and the small daily practice that changes everything.
