Summary
We all know raising a baby and a woman takes a village and we are excited to kick off this month’s first episode recorded in Costa Rica with Monique Doughty AKA @iamnursemo 🤎
She is an ex-travel nurse turned motivational speaker/wellness coach who lives abroad in Costa Rica and is helping black women heal and walk into their most authentic selves.
This week Monique shares how her psychedelic experience provided her with the clarity she needed to leave her old life as a travel nurse in the US and live a natural and minimalist life in Costa Rica.
She also shares how she’s found community abroad.
Mo also shares why she has given her unborn child an identity before birth and why it’s important for women to rethink their “white picket fence” model.

| 0:00.0 | Sarah, where's the car? It's gone. It's not gone. It's with Fixster. Since you never |
| 0:04.3 | got Ranta servicing it, I took care of it. Fixed up? Fixed up? Fixed is great! They pick |
| 0:08.2 | up your car, drive it to the garage, handle the service, then drive it straight back to you. |
| 0:11.6 | Sounds expensive? Don't worry. They negotiate their prices with their partner |
| 0:14.8 | garages and the car pickup services included. So since that's all handled, how about you |
| 0:18.8 | take a look at that leaky tab or do you need me to fix that too? For easy car maintenance, |
| 0:23.2 | head to fixter.co.uk. We'll pick up your car and take care of all the rest. Fixed up and |

| 0:35.2 | toast your pillowy soft bread. Push that. Liberally spread that butter. |
| 0:43.4 | Stroke that Marmite open. Dip that knife and spread that. Don't overload. |
| 0:52.8 | Untaish that. Marmite. Love it. Hate it. Get it on. |
| 1:05.3 | Hola! It is week one of July and this month our motto is tribe. It's tribe July because it takes |
| 1:15.1 | a village. Yes, we all know that it takes a village, whether you are a mother or just a woman |

| 1:25.2 | they need you. It's just crucial. I'm so excited because our first episode of the month we're |
| 1:30.5 | kicking it off with Monique Dowdy who is a mindset and self-love coach. We're in Costa Rica kicking |
| 1:36.8 | it. It's beautiful and this week you can expect to hear us talk about how Mo walked away from |
| 1:43.0 | stability to move abroad. The choice to cut the cord with her child's father before her child's |
| 1:47.9 | birth. Encouraging women to reimagine what their white-picked fence looks like. |
| 1:51.5 | The tribe and village Mo has cultivated for herself and her unborn baby in Costa Rica. |
