Some episodes settle in a little deeper, and this one with Monica Cox did exactly that.
A conversation that moved through creativity, intuition, healing, and what it means to truly show up for yourself, not from pressure or performance, but from joy, alignment, and inner truth. Monica’s presence, her lived experience, and her way of reflecting back the wisdom within every woman made this one feel soft, empowering, and full of quiet reminders.
These aren’t just words or ideas. They’re invitations to remember who you really are.

Creating Without a Motive
There’s something powerful that happens when you create for the sake of joy, not to prove, perform, or profit. Monica spoke about the shift that comes when we stop creating from pressure and start allowing flow.
- Creativity doesn’t have to look a certain way. It can be cleaning your house, knitting baby clothes, or washing the dishes.
- When there’s no agenda, no end goal, you drop into presence. And that’s where the magic lives.
- Joy doesn’t need to be grand. It can be found in the mundane, in the everyday, in what’s already here.
She shared how during her own fertility journey, she would knit children’s clothes, not for the future, not with an outcome in mind, but because it felt good. That process became part of her healing. Of coming home to herself.
Tuning Into Intuition
There was such resonance in the reminder that our bodies are speaking to us all the time. It’s just that most of us haven’t been taught how to listen.
- Everyone has intuition. It’s not a special gift, it’s something you can reconnect with.
- The body gives signals. A heaviness in the chest. A gut feeling. An inner knowing that says yes, or no.
- Real empowerment comes from tuning into those signals and letting them guide you, instead of outsourcing your authority.
We spoke about how so many of us were conditioned to override our knowing, especially when it conflicts with what someone in authority is telling us. But healing and alignment happen when you start listening again.
Joy as a Frequency
Monica reminded me that joy isn’t a luxury. It’s the frequency of creation. It’s what invites abundance, clarity, and alignment.
She talked about releasing platforms that don’t feel aligned, like Instagram, and moving into spaces that let her express freely, like podcasting, TikTok, and YouTube. This shift wasn’t about giving up. It was about choosing joy.
- You don’t have to create content from pressure. You can create because it feels good.
- The moment you let go of doing it “right,” you make room for doing it your way.
- The universe meets you in that place, where you’re creating from authenticity, not strategy.
Layer by Layer
Healing doesn’t happen all at once. It’s not a one-and-done. It unfolds layer by layer, over time.
We talked about how you can feel something in your body and ask, “Is this mine?”, and even just that question can begin to shift the energy. Monica shared how years of spiritual work helped her develop that trust in herself, and how clearing old beliefs is a process of remembering rather than fixing.
- You don’t need to be perfect. Just present.
- You can start again, gently, honestly, and with grace.
- The real work is learning how to stay with yourself through every layer.
Final Reflections
This episode isn’t about quick fixes or surface-level hacks. It’s about choosing a life that feels good, and learning to trust that joy is enough.
Let this be your reminder: You’re allowed to pivot. You’re allowed to outgrow old stories. You’re allowed to build a life that nourishes you.
And you don’t need to do it alone.
