May 2026 be the best year yet for all of us. As we shed off the wooden snake year and welcome the fire horse (for those into Chinese astrology). Remember to stay locked in and run YOUR race ✨️❤️

It's okay to be a villain in their story. We were never going to make them happy in any way. Might as well make yourself happy and gain inner peace ✌️😘

Check out my interview on Seeds of Awakening hosted by Amani Channel, where we unpacked my journey of leaving the Jehovah’s Witnesses and exploring African Spirituality.

Having the courage to start over at any time in my life has never failed me.
What spurred this was having the audacity to prioritize myself in 2017 over family and religious community expectations by walking away from a cult that was controlling every aspect of my life.
It hasn't been easy, I'm still figuring things out. But I've never been more content, sure of myself, and this alive.

Leaving a high-control religion is never easy, but you can use that experience to your advantage. Join in the conversation as we chat with Amani Channel, a former Jehovah's Witness who used to be a broadcaster and news anchor.
This conversation was so enlightening and fun, I hope you enjoy it!

Welcome to The Other Side with Monica ✨
I've been working on this podcast concept for months and I'm finally excited to share it with you all. TOS is a safe space I've created where high-control religion survivors can come together to feel seen and validated.
Our very first episode is happening tomorrow, and I’m so excited to welcome Rita Ivy from Liberated Consciousness 🌿 as our first guest! We’ll be diving into her journey, life after leaving high-control religion, and the beautiful work she’s doing today.
🗣️ Please note → Only channel members will be able to comment and ask questions during the livestream. This helps keep our space intentional, supportive, and full of meaningful dialogue. You can join here: youtube.com/channel/UC0WBTffWZFSDmD2Y0WI0Zmg/join
🔮 Some episodes will feature amazing guests, and on other days I’ll be going solo — sharing insights, stories, and teachings from my own journey on “the other side.”
💌 I’d also love to hear from you → Who would you like to see me interview on future episodes of TOS? Or topics to cover? Drop your suggestions below 👇🏽

Gender-based violence has been on the rise in South Africa. South African men are unaliving South African women at a crazy rate, and when this is being discussed, rarely do we unpack the connection between religion and GBV. Especially high-control religions!
Join me today at 17:30 SAST as we explore this often-overlooked connection.
