Episode Description
In this episode, I sit down with Monica M. Henderson to explore what it really means to chart your course in everyday life. Monica shares her daily practice of “chart before you start,” which she lovingly calls her foreplay for the day, and how working with her personal seasons and sojourns helps her focus without forcing productivity.
We talk about internal versus external timelines, why many personality systems feel too static for dynamic people, and how honoring your natural rhythm supports clearer decision making, better leadership, and more enjoyable work. We close with Monica’s definition of aligned leadership, a simple practice you can try today, and an invitation to her upcoming Life Alignment Immersive Experience.
