The Good Girl Unleashed with Monique Carmela

112: Joekie's Transformation: Conscious Communication, Boundary Setting, and Prioritising Her Needs in Service to Her Loved Ones

When Joekie came to me she was really struggling to communicate with her loved ones, constantly criticizing, triggered, yelling at her girls, and holding resentment toward her husband for not meeting her needs/expectations.
Today she is accepting all parts of herself, finding herself more present and better equipped to navigate relationships, triggers, and challenging situations. She is now able to prioritize her needs, set boundaries, and communicate her needs which has completely transformed her relationship with her girls and her partner.
I am so honored to have her on the podcast to share more about her journey. Joekie and I have been journeying together for over a year now, I have supported her with private 1:1 coaching and she has also joined my programs, The Sacred Art of Loving Yourself, Authentic Boundaries, Deep Pleasure & Confidence To Express. 
She's definitely not one to brag and is deeply vulnerable in sharing that she's not done growing and moving through the layers but I am truly proud of this woman, her courage, bravery, and willingness to go deep, to do the work and really implement what she is learning in her life and relationships. It truly shows in how much she has shifted since our initial conversation and how much continues to blossom in her life.
I celebrate you Joekie, with all my heart, thank you for journeying with me.

111: Bec's Transformation: Coming home to herself, healing her inner child and reclaiming her power

What an incredible journey, over the past 4 months I have had the privilege of working with this beautiful woman supporting her to come home to her authentic self through healing her inner child, releasing people-pleasing tendencies, and supporting her in reclaiming her power.
Becs went through many transformations through this potent time of transition, shedding, awakening, self-discovery and rebirth and I can't wait to share her journey and experience with you.
Becs has been a private 1:1 client of mine over the past 4 months, she also joined me for The Sacred Art of Loving Yourself, my signature program, as well as my Goddess Awakening 21-Day Program, Deep Pleasure, & Confidence To Express.
Her commitment to this work really shines through and shows us just how much is possible when we commit to showing up for ourselves. Sharing her story is with the intention to show you what is possible for you when you make the commitment to yourself, to doing the inner work and prioritizing yourself.

110: How To Build Trust Within Yourself So That You Can Trust Others, Feel Safe To Let Love In & Build Conscious Relationships

Recently I held a conversation on Inner Child Healing & Conscious Relationships (LISTEN TO IT HERE) and I received the question “How do I trust a man and create safe, conscious love” and I felt called to speak to this topic directly as it is something I have been meaning to speak to for some time as it has been coming up a lot in feedback I have received from people who have opted in for my free ebook, Regulate (Get Your Copy Here).
It’s also an area I struggled with for many years and has been a fascinating journey uncovering where this stems from, the root cause of this pattern, the fears, conditioning and beliefs and liberating myself from this protection.
Yes… Protection.
That is what we are doing here. When we don’t feel safe, we protect and we do this in a number of ways that may not make logical sense to our present self but it’s a pattern that was developed earlier on in life that has been practiced over years and decades, strengthening this pattern, making it harder to shift it and let love in.
In today's episode, I expand upon my recent blog post, How do I trust a man and create safe, conscious love?, trusting another requires you to trust yourself and be able to discern who is trustworthy to you, it requires you to work through what at the root of this challenge, what is preventing you from trusting, and it will require you to come into self-honouring and self-expression.
In order for the parts of you that are not allowing you to trust, let love in and create conscious love, to stop hijacking the system and allow you to have the relationship you desire, they must feel safe and in order to feel safe they must be able to trust you and feel safe within you, to know that YOU have got their back.
If you resonate with this conversation and with what I share on this podcast, I invite you to join me for 12 weeks inside The Sacred Art of Loving Yourself where I will support you more deeply in putting what we explore in this podcast into practice so you can have the life and relationships you deeply desire.

106: Self-Love, A Journey of Strengthening Your Relationship To Yourself, Setting Boundaries & Leading From Your Heart with Rashmi

Today I am joined by Rashmi from @themindsolace and delve into the realms of self-love and rebuilding your relationship with yourself. 
I often say "You are the one you are doing life with" and you must honor that relationship, prioritize your needs, and fill up your cup in order to abundantly give and support your loved ones and your community. You cannot give from an empty cup, this leads to burnout, exhaustion, resentment, stress, dis-ease, and often the breakdown of our relationships.
By taking care of you, you will be much better equipped to support others. In this conversation, we explore this concept and so much more, we go into why self-love and filling up your cup is so important and how it will actually benefit those around you.
We also go into the importance of setting boundaries, and how this will also benefit not only you but those around you. You become a walking permission slip for others to love themselves, meet their own needs, set boundaries, and become self-responsible.
When we are constantly giving and prioritizing the needs of others, we are actually disempowering ourselves and them. 
 
This episode supports you in shifting your mindset and opening the pathway to self-love, self-honoring, and self-respect that will support you in bringing more ease, harmony, and connection into your life and relationships. We offer a variety of tips and resources to support you on your journey as well.
 
Ready to journey together more deeply and take the next step on your self-love journey???
The Sacred Art of Loving Yourself is my 12-week program, a journey of reconnection, rebirth, and self-discovery
For the Woman who is ready to reconnect to her authentic self and cultivate UNSHAKEABLE self-love and acceptance so she can create the life she truly desires.

It is the first course I've done where it really gave me the tools to start to get to the root causes for who I am and then the practices to become more of who I want to be. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel!!

105: Family Dynamics, Conditioning, Expectations & Getting Your Needs Met in Relationships with Amberlee Rose

In today's conversation Amberlee and I explore how our childhood experiences and relationships with our original caregivers can impact our current relationships and ways of relating.
There is often deeply ingrained conditioning that many of us hold around what it means to be a man, a woman, a mother, and other labels we put on ourselves or others put on us.
Often we see the man as the savior, the breadwinner or provider, the handyman, and there are roles and responsibilities that are put on the man. There's often the saying that goes "Be a man" or "Man up" which puts men into a box and suppresses different parts of them, and can also be incredibly emasculating, causing them to feel less than or not good enough if they don't meet the expectations of what it means to be a man.
For women, often there is the conditioning around being the homemaker, people pleasing, self-sacrificing, over-giving, putting everyone else first, her needs come last or not at all, she's only to speak when spoken to, be the good girl, the nice girl, stay inside the lines. There are also roles and responsibilities, like cooking and cleaning, meeting the man's sexual needs.
And this all comes not only from what was mirrored to us in childhood from our caregivers, but society as well.
We can become incredibly lost and confused and wonder who am I. It significantly impacts our relationships and you may find yourself unhappy or unsatisfied in your relationship, or a lot of conflict arising.
In this conversation we explore all of this and so much more with the intention to support you in creating new ways of relating, connecting and being in harmony in your relationship. Discovering what works for you, what kind of relationship you desire and how to create that. How to get your needs met and not necessarily by your partner but by you.
A truly powerful conversation, inspired by our own personal journeys.
 
We would LOVE to hear your feedback, what resonates, and any questions you have or areas you would like us to delve deeper into. We will also be opening the conversation inside The Woman Ascending Facebook Group to explore this conversation more deeply.
 
Ready to delve deeper into this conversation, strengthen your self-confidence, expand your ability to express yourself, meet your own needs, set boundaries and honor your YES and your NO???
To LIBERATE your expression, shift your self-talk, and consciously create the life and relationships you desire...
Join Amberlee and me in our upcoming LIVE program, The Confidence To Express Yourself, the journey begins this Saturday.

104: Understanding Your Human Design & Soul Blueprint, & Giving Yourself Permission To Be Yourself with Kirsten Morrison

"Human Design is your unique energetic blueprint.
Consider it like the user manual for your soul. Human Design gives us a permission slip to be completely ourselves, trust in our way and deeply understand what we’re here for. It illuminates our strengths, gifts, wisdom and purpose. It shows us how we are here to move through the world and what we came to contribute. And in a world that is constantly trying to tell us how to be - it allows you to be fully seen, understood and feel empowered in your uniqueness." - Kirsten Morrison
 
I discovered Human Design in 2020 and it absolutely blew my mind but I felt resistance to delve deeper and it was soon put on the back burner. I rediscovered Human Design later in the year where I began delving a little deeper and following different people like Kirsten to learn more. But it was last year that Human Design really leaped out at me and I knew I had to jump in.
Human Design for me is one of the BIGGEST permission slip to be yourself and come back to self-honouring and living in alignment. It is the manual for living authentically, unapologetically and in alignment with who you truly are.
When you live in alignment it is of the greatest service to yourself and all of those around you as well, you become the walking permission slip for others to also live in alignment and together we rise and thrive, cheering each other on along the way.
In today's episode, I am joined by Human Design Mentor, Kirsten Morrison, who shares with us an overview of what Human Design is, the 5 energy types and we also delve into the emotional authority and how to ride the waves of our emotions.
A potent conversation that I am so excited to share with you.
Since the end of last year I began including a Human Design Reading with all of my 1:1 Coaching Packages as I believe this is essential to living in alignment and thriving in all areas of life which is what I am here to support you with. Learn more about working together here
