Dr. Monikah has had the most intriguing and inspiring life journey, and today we talk about what she has learned — and what she now teaches — from the different ups and downs that life provided her.
We also talk about:
-
What moving from the Dominican Republic to the US taught her about taking the right next steps when you can’t see the whole journey ahead
-
How she went from being an executive assistant at a financial services company to creating her own training curriculum to becoming an Inc. 500-recognized entrepreneur and finance coach
-
What getting cancer taught her (and healed within her) about her relationship to the feminine and motherhood and internalized misogyny — and why she says it was the best thing to ever happen to her
-
How your chakras can you show you what to do next in uncertain times — in your business and in your life
-
. . . and so much more.
Dr. Monikah is also just bright and brilliant and funny and radiates warmth and kindness. It was truly an honor to get to share space with her for this conversation.
I’m so grateful to have been connected to Dr. Monikah. I learned so much from her and from our conversation and I’m sure you will too.
