Hi, Monica.

Hello. We just figured out we're both from

Louisiana. I love meeting a fellow Louisianaian. I know, me too. I don't have the accent, but

I know, which is kind of odd. You said you're from Tibado, which is very like Cajun country,

typically. I think in my house, because English was not the first language. My parents were from the

East. And then I think if you mix everything together, I think I decided which I was going to

choose. I'm somewhere all over the place. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I was telling your Rev when we first started

talking. I really wanted to get you on the

podcast this month specifically because we have a word of the month every month and this month's

word is abandoned. And I love the work that you're doing because what initially sparked my

connecting with that word and your work is that so much of your work involves letting go of old

narratives that don't serve us and really adopting these new narratives that really help people

step into their own power. So if we could just give the listeners a little foundation to start,

what are the best tools for internal growth? Well, it starts with checking where your consciousness is at, because everything

starts there. Consciousness is power, and the strength really comes from the ability to change

the way we think about things. And I think often people don't challenge themselves in that way.
