I’m Monique, a woman over 40, sharing my story of growth, resilience, and the pursuit of a healthier, happier self.

My life has taken some unexpected turns, but each twist has brought me closer to rediscovery and joy.

Here’s what you can expect from my blog:

• Occasional Recipes: Mostly plants but not always vegan. :-)

• Mental Health: Honest insight about my struggles with mental wellness, self-care, and thriving through life’s challenges.

• Financial Freedom Journey: How I will pay off over $10K in debt, save like crazy, give freely, and achieve financial independence.

• Inspiring Dreams: My path to becoming an attorney (finished my associate’s degree December 2024), proving that it’s never too late to pursue our passions.

• Rebuilding My Brand: After being MIA on here and other platforms for years, I’m focused on improving my writing, creating engaging YouTube videos, and making a real impact on the world.

Here’s to fresh starts, endless possibilities, and unwavering confidence.

Quick Facts About Me:

- Divorced mom with three amazing sons (my baby is twenty).

- I had a major crash-and-burn as an influencer; now holding it down in county government.

- Enjoy reading, making simple meals, power naps (lol), and listening to music.

Thank you for being here.
