I’m a big fan of Monica’s work and have attended several of her workshops. When I saw the news that she started a podcast, I couldn’t wait to start listening. It has been awesome! She has such a great sense of humor even when talking about challenging mental blocks and it has always really spoken to my brain. I definitely recommend this podcast to any writer or creative!
