I’m Monica, but you might hear my friends calling me Mon or M, and kidlets that I love calling me Aunt Monica, Auntie Monica, or even Momica.
I've been a professional writer + editor for 25 years, business strategist for the past 12 years, and a magic-practicing, spirituality-seeker since I was old enough to speak.
That’s also when my obsession with systems, stories, and words started— and it’s only ramped up as the years have passed. Recently, I spent hundreds of hours in my yard creating a pollinator garden to strengthen my local ecosystem and love on the land.
I help people find clarity, confidence, and direction, whether that’s choosing the right words to convey their message, creating a sustainable business structure + strategy or connecting with the deeper parts of themselves.
“Overall, Monica's advice has been useful, yes, but her presence, attention, and expertise have also made it easier for me to differentiate between my genuine discernment as a businesswoman, fear, and a need to have more context. I work with Monica solely because every time we connect and/or I consult her, I walk away with a grounding in my own ethics and ambition, without doubt for myself or my capacity. That's worth its weight x10 in gold.”
“One of Monica’s gifts is helping others to see and believe in creative opportunity. She expands what you think might be possible, and then invites you to envision how you might actualize that possibility in real and tangible ways. I can honestly think of no-one better to guide you.”
“The thing about Monica is the range of experiences and observations she brings to a conversation, as well as her enthusiasm. Once she has a handle on what you're working on or aiming for, she'll connect it to something unexpected and maybe even peripheral and apply it to your Thing in a way that may not be new, but it's certainly new to you. And that's what you're looking for, right? A fresh perspective, a new direction, a way out, or a work-around. In my experience, some of the best solutions come from outside your industry or your everyday, and Monica is one of those rare people who knows where they are and can point them out. One hour with Monica is worth a week of spinning my wheels alone.”
“It's no exaggeration to say that Monica's wisdom and calm presence offers one of the safest places to bring the vulnerability we often find at the intersection of sharing our creative work and entrepreneur hood. My strategy sessions were a safe place to show up exactly where I was at, without feeling shame for where I was not, both in my head and in my business. That in itself is transformative.”
