Today I'm sitting down with personal transformation strategist Monique Rhodes for a conversation that might surprise you, but one I think every woman juggling multiple responsibilities needs to hear. We're diving deep into what happiness actually is, and why so many of us who seem to "have it all together" still feel empty inside.

Monique's story is incredible. She went from attempting suicide at 19 to now living at a "9 out of 10" happiness level almost every single day, and she's helped thousands of people worldwide transform their relationship with joy and fulfillment. She brings a unique blend of neuroscience and soul-centered wisdom that makes this topic both practical and profound. If you've ever wondered why productivity and achievement aren't filling that deeper need for contentment, this conversation will be eye-opening.

In This Episode, I'll Cover:

• What happiness actually looks like (it's not constant joy)
• The toxic positivity trap and why it's making things worse
• A neuroscience-backed method for processing emotions in 90 seconds
• How we've been conditioned to earn love through our actions
• Why external circumstances don't determine your happiness

What if I told you that building a successful business doesn't require working 80-hour weeks or waking up at 4 AM? Today I'm sharing something I've never broken down in this much detail before: the complete six-year journey of building The Pink Bee, including all the messy, real numbers and decisions that got us here.

Spoiler alert: I built this business without the overwhelm, without the burnout, and definitely without sacrificing sleep. If you've ever felt like you're failing at running your business or that you can't grow something meaningful without sacrificing your boundaries, I promise this episode will change how you think about what's possible.

In This Episode, I'll Cover:

• The real revenue and profit numbers from 2019 to 2025
• Key operational decisions that allowed sustainable growth
• Why I shut down the most profitable part of my business
• How boundaries and core values guided every major decision
• The five things I attribute to our success trajectory

What I saw on Shark Tank the other week perfectly illustrated the toxic business myths that are burning women out left and right. A college student with impeccable numbers and a highly profitable business didn't land a deal (not because his business wasn't amazing, but because he wasn't "hustling" enough). He was still in school, which meant he wasn't sacrificing everything, and that somehow made him less worthy of investment. Meanwhile, another couple with terrible numbers got a deal because they were broke and sleeping in garages.

Friends, we need to talk about this.

If you're a woman who's also a caregiver, these lies hit differently. When conventional business wisdom tells you that real entrepreneurs sacrifice everything, work 80-hour weeks, and achieve overnight success, it's sending a subtle message: you can't do this. But here's the truth... those are complete myths, and I'm living proof that there's another way to build a successful business without burning yourself out.

In This Episode, I'll Cover:

• Why the "sacrifice everything" mentality is toxic for women entrepreneurs
• The overnight success lie that's setting unrealistic expectations
• The two-option growth trap that leads to burnout and plateaus
• How these myths are causing women to close profitable businesses
• Why conventional business advice fails women (especially caregivers)
