## Resource

So lost, yet so clear. ⇢ WATCH ON YOUTUBE: https://youtu.be/c5cc6d9gOw8 Monica vulnerably shares her story of the identity shift she’s been moving through since becoming a mum, including months of nothing feeling right; grieving her signature program, Queen Alchemy, and her highly successful 3-day event, The Immersion; and how she stayed in the discomfort of the unknown instead of hurrying to figure it out. If you’re in a season of not knowing—whether that’s post-baby, post-burnout, or just post-whoever you used to be—this episode will give you permission to stop forcing an answer that isn't ready yet. Also inside: 🌼 Monica’s "breadcrumb" visual to help you feel anchored while you’re going through an identity shift 🌼 What feeling lost really means for you 🌼 Hilary Duff as a lesson in the quantum leap that only comes when you go all in on one version of yourself 🌼 Why healing your trauma before you become a mum changes your entire postpartum identity experience 🌼 Why you can’t hear your intuition from a dysregulated nervous system 🌼 The hard decision to end Queen Alchemy and The Immersion, and the grief that came with it 🌼 How working with Monica will change in this next season, and why she’s keeping her containers much more intimate +++++ As Mentioned In The Episode: ⇢ Join the waitlist — Monica’s upcoming program, Soft and Ambitious: https://go.monicayateshealth.com/soft ⇢ Work with Monica 1:1: https://go.monicayateshealth.com/1on1withmonica ⇢ Listen next — 488: You're Burnt Out & It Has Nothing to Do With How Hard You're Working: https://go.monicayateshealth.com/ep488 ⇢ Join Monica's email list — Never Miss a Thing: https://go.monicayateshealth.com/joinmonicaslist ⇢ Order the BOOK — Becoming HER: https://go.monicayateshealth.com/book ⇢ Monica’s Instagra…
