We look into the various ways of defining success and finding a definition of success that aligns with your individual purpose.By clearly creating our own definition of success, we are able to hone in on our purpose and create measurable goals that will enable us to reach success and continue redefining it throughout our lives.

Today, Monique and I, uncover the layers of what success truly means. Our conversation traverses the landscapes of personal fulfillment, the impact of setting and celebrating milestones, and the depth of aligning with one's deeper purpose.

Monique guides us as we analyze the power of soul and how it can become a tool for grounding ourselves and becoming more connected with our purpose.
“When we talk about all the things that were in your way at the end of the day. It's what it really came down to, the ego was at odds with that other inner wisdom.”

Demystifying Love's Abundance
In today’s episode, Monique and Mariah dive into that word: love. There is power in sharing love, but oftentimes doing so is under-utilized. There are so many things to love about life - from work through personal relationships. Diving straight into the “heart” of the Heart & Soul Collective, the hosts share about their experiences with love during their upbringings and throughout their personal and professional lives.
“It's okay to love and use the word love to embrace people in your life outside of those immediate relationships, be it your, your spouse or your partner, or your children or your family, because love can mean so many different things.”
In this episode, we discuss:
01:30 - The “Heart” of Heart & Soul
03:30 - The Unwritten Norms of Love
07:20 - The Power of Sharing Love
12:30 - Demystifying Love
19:00 - Breaking Barriers to Love
Hey Heart & Soul Collective!
Growing up with the word 'love' carefully tucked away for only the closest family members, Mariah’s journey to freely expressing this powerful emotion was a transformative one.
Join us today, alongside Mariah & Monique, as we peel back the layers of love, revealing how this sentiment weaves through the very fabric of our lives, imparting meaning and happiness.
Our conversation flows through personal narratives, touching on the essence of 'Heart' and 'Soul,' and reflecting on love's pivotal role in both our personal growth and professional success.
Listen in as we paint a vivid picture of love's abundant and expansive reach.

Monique serves as our resident expert on intention setting and guides us through her experience with intention setting. We break down what exactly an intention is, the power behind it, and how it can become a means to achieving your dreams!
“It starts with a dream. I have a dream, and then it's the creative power that fulfills our needs. Whether they're about money and relationships, spirituality or love, whatever it is.

Meet Monique! | The "Soul" of the Heart & Soul Collective
Today’s episode is all about Monique! Monique is a spiritual coach, intuitive energy and sound healer, a Kundalini yoga teacher, a real estate maven, and a serial entrepreneur. She is also an amazing friend, mother, grandmother, and so much more. Today we explore how she is able to bring the lessons she has learned from her own life into forums that share with others as part of her own healing journey.
Monique shares about how she turns her personal experiences into lessons to inspire others and normalize the challenges we face. These lessons often present universal themes that everyone can relate to, and Monique uses these themes to connect with those in her community.
“If I had quit, I would never have learned those lessons. I would not have had self-respect. I wouldn’t have dignity in myself. Entrepreneurship is like the School of Life, because there’s just things you can’t know until you feel and experience them and they’re going to happen. It’s how you find your way through it.”
IN THIS EPISODE, WE ask Monique:
3:02 - What breathes fire into your soul?
4:00 - Who/What pulls on your heart strings?
6:33 - What is your spirit animal?

What is a Mastermind? | A Look Inside the Heart & Soul Mastermind
Have you ever asked yourself the question: what the heck is a mastermind?
Years ago in the 1920’s, Napoleon Hill describes “the mastermind principle: two or more people actively engaged in the pursuit of a definite purpose with a positive mental attitude constitute an unbeatable force.”
On today's episode, we are going to unpack what is a mastermind - something that Monique and Mariah know very well. It is the background of this entire podcast and how we got here today. A “mastermind” seems to be a buzz word that has been showing up more and more, but what does it really mean?
Monique and Mariah explore their experiences uncovering the true meaning of a mastermind through their work with other female entrepreneurs creating a community of support and motivational leadership.
“Your needs can be different from your neighbors needs, which could be business related. Yours could be personal, yours could be your kids. Who the heck knows? But that's what we wanted to foster is that openness to be able to speak about whatever it is, whatever you might need.”
In this episode, we cover:
01:41 - The mastermind principle
02:33 - Mariah’s journey towards mastermind
04:47 -Monique’s journey towards mastermind
08:42 - Applying the mastermind principle
12:20 - The Heart & Soul mastermind
