  • Love this podcast & the critical thinking, intention, and humility Monica shares

    This is my favorite podcast! I’m a mom, therapist, and share very different religious beliefs than Monica but I absolutely love the way she talks about issues, shares her thoughts, and is so humble and transparent. I share her concept of the do something list with clients all the time. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a balanced and realistic view of self improvement.
