✨What if the next level of your business doesn’t require you to work harder…Just think differently?
What No One Tells You About Moving From Working In Your Business ft. Elisha Monique
In this episode of From the Ground to the Crown, I’m joined by Elisha Monique, who shares her journey from spending 25 years working in her business to building a life that allows her to work on it. We don’t rush to lessons or formulas. Instead, we talk through her past, her lived experience, and the mindset shift that opened the door to expansion, freedom, and sustainability.
This conversation is for anyone who:
✨ Has a one-track view of business
✨ Is great at what they do, but feels capped
✨ Doesn’t see themselves as “a business person”
✨ Is tired of hustling without seeing real growth
✨ Knows there’s more possible but can’t name what yet
We explore how systems, strategy, and intentional structure can support your skills instead of replacing them. Whether you’re in beauty, education, wellness, creative work, or any service-based industry, this episode invites you to zoom out and see your work through a bigger lens.
You don’t have to start over.
You don’t have to abandon your craft.
You just might need to expand how you define business, success, and your own capabilities.

Loneliness didn’t show up as a choice for me.
It showed up after heartbreak, grief, and loss...after a breakup and the death of my dog—when life got quiet all at once.
In this episode of From the Ground to the Crown, I’m sharing how I pivoted out of loneliness and learned to embrace solitude without romanticizing it. This conversation is about grief, healing, identity shifts, and what happens when you stop running from being alone long enough to actually meet yourself.
This isn’t about “loving being alone.” (Truth: I still don't like it! 😂)
It’s about learning how to feel safe, grounded, and whole in your own company—and how that season can quietly prepare you for everything next.
Inside this conversation, we explore:
→ Why loneliness can feel like failure
→ The difference between loneliness and solitude
→ What grief and loss reveal when the noise disappears
→ How to stop filling space and start building safety within
→ What sitting with yourself can unlock—confidence, clarity, and community
→ How solitude can prepare you for partnership, purpose, and expansion
If you’re in a season where you feel alone, unseen, or like life left you behind—this episode is for you.
You’re not behind.
You’re not broken.
You’re becoming.
Loneliness isn’t the end. Sometimes, it’s the beginning!
💬 Reflection Question:
If you stopped trying to fill the space, what might you hear (and learn)?
If this episode meets you where you are, like it, share it with someone navigating a quiet season, and subscribe for weekly conversations about growth, pivots, healing, and trusting yourself through change.

In this episode, I’m taking you back to the day my intuition refused to mind its business and dragged me straight into the truth. A quiet nudge told me to go to the dog park…and that’s where I found the girl my ex was cheating with. Yep. My intuition clocked in before I did!We’re talking about what it actually feels like when your soul already knows, how to stop saying “I don’t know” when your body is screaming the answer, and how to trust the pivot that doesn’t always come with proof. If you’ve ever questioned whether you were making the right move or if your gut was being dramatic, this episode is your sign to listen deeper.Inside this episode, I break down:✨ The moment my intuition revealed everything at the dog park✨ What intuitive nudges feel like in real time✨ Why fear is loud, and intuition is quiet✨ How to tell the difference between anxiety and alignment✨ How to strengthen your intuition daily✨ How to identify feelings to trust in your bodyIf you’re navigating a shift, a pivot, or a “my spirit is telling me something” moment…this one’s for you.Let’s glow forward!

If you’ve been stuck between “I know better” and “but what if,” this one’s for you.I’m sharing what it actually looks like to leave a version of yourself behind, how to hear the difference between fear and intuition, and why your spirit usually leaves a place before your body does.

Affirmation: I am aware of my interconnectedness to all things.
Ism: If the dots don’t connect, neither will your relationships.
Theme: Our past is always connected to our present — but awareness is what helps us decide what we’ll carry into the future.
Season One is closing out with the most important reminder yet: we are all connected. The truth is, your relationships today didn’t just start today — they were shaped by the lessons, patterns, and blind spots you picked up long before adulthood.
In this season one finale of From the Ground to the Crown, I’m joined by my husband Dean (@ItsDeaneaux | @TheDeanCollective | @TattoosByDeaneaux) and our friends Dave (@DaveIsLegend | @TheMirrorTalks) and Perla (@pur.luh) for a real conversation on interconnectedness — how our upbringing and early life experiences shape the way we relate to others in adulthood. We get into the ways patterns follow us, the blind spots we’ve had to face, and the moments of disconnection that actually made us stronger in relationships.
This episode closes out season one but also lays the foundation for season two — more truth, more awareness, more growing with intention.

Affirmation: I exude & attract positive energy.
Ism: Light ain’t light until it’s been through the dark.
Theme: Positivity isn’t just “good vibes only” — it’s the magnetic energy that powers the Law of Attraction.
What if I told you positivity isn’t about “good vibes only” and that the people who push that narrative are actually blocking their own blessings?
Everyone thinks positivity means being happy all the time, ignoring problems, and living in a bubble of “light and love.” But here’s the truth: real positivity is forged in the dark. It’s a conscious, faith-fueled choice to align your energy with the reality you want to attract — even when nothing around you matches that vision.
In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the myths about positivity and showing you how it works as the key to the Law of Attraction. We’ll talk about why your energy is your order form to the universe, how to keep your vibration high even in tough seasons, and why fake positivity will never bring real results. If you’re ready to magnetize your dreams, this is your episode.

Affirmation: I cherish life in this present moment.Ism: The best memories aren’t posted — they’re felt.Theme: Presence is the anchor that turns passing moments into living memories.
Summary:
What if I told you that the biggest thief of your joy isn’t stress, time, or even other people - it’s distraction?
We’ve been told that “if you’re not documenting it, it didn’t happen.”
In this episode, I’m breaking down why that belief robs you of joy, connection, and the real magic of your life. From the mental strain of always being in “observer mode” to the spiritual disconnection it creates, I’m unpacking how over-documenting pulls you away from the moments you’re trying to keep.
We’ll explore how “the powers that be” profit from your distraction, and why the present moment is the ultimate power move for creating, manifesting, and aligning with your highest self. If you’ve been feeling like life is moving too fast or that you’re missing the richness of your own story, this is your reminder to live the memory — not just post it.

Affirmation: “I am worthy of all that life has to offer.”
Ism: If you can’t match my energy, you can’t touch my heart.”
“Love will only meet you at the level of your worth.”
In this raw and vulnerable episode of From the Ground to the Crown, Dean and I are keeping it real about how our past long-term relationships tested our self-worth and the inner work we had to do to rebuild it before we could recognize the love we were truly worthy of and attract each other.
We’ll share the mindset shifts we made to stop dating from scarcity, get clear on what we wanted, and the practices that helped us stop settling and start aligning with love that actually matched our energy.
Whether you’re single and looking or committed and growing, this conversation will help you set a higher worthiness bar, maintain it, and attract (or keep) love that matches your energy.
What You’ll Learn:
Journal Prompt: If the love of your life showed up tomorrow, how would your current way of living show them the value you already see in yourself?

Affirmation: I shine my light bright enough for me.
Ism: You made it through the night to get to the light.
Theme: Owning your light means embracing your darkness and radiating from the inside out.
The “soft life” looks good on the ‘gram—but the truth is, real softness is earned through the hard stuff. In this special birthday-week episode, I’m celebrating the radiant, light-filled version of myself that emerged from seasons of grief, grit, and growth.
I’m sharing how shadow work, deep reflection, and embracing my full self—light and dark—helped me create a glow that’s rooted in truth, not performance. This is your reminder that the brightest light is born from the darkest nights, and your softness will always be more sustainable when you stop avoiding the hard truth.

Why Hustle Culture is Making You Sick (And How to Heal)
Affirmation: I am healthy & I make healthy choices to live fully.
Ism: Rest ain’t lazy—it’s legacy.
Theme:
This episode is a wake-up call to redefine what it means to be healthy—from the inside out. We’re calling out hustle culture, unpacking toxic wellness narratives, and replacing them with aligned, embodied truth. Health isn’t just about diet and workouts—it’s about energy, boundaries, rest, and the relationship you have with your body.
If you’ve been running on caffeine, deadlines, and “I’ll rest when I’m done” energy, this conversation is your divine intervention. Rest isn’t weakness. It’s not wasted time. And it’s definitely not lazy—it’s the foundation that holds your purpose, your health, and your legacy together.
In this episode, we’re flipping the script on hustle culture, breaking up with toxic wellness myths, and learning how to honor the body as a sacred home—not a machine. Whether you’re a high-achiever, a wellness enthusiast, or simply someone whose soul is begging for a pause, you’ll walk away with a renewed vision of health rooted in clarity, rhythm, and deep self-trust.
✨ Who This Episode Is For:
High-achievers who are tired of being tiredWellness girlies who feel disconnected from their bodiesSpiritual folks navigating burnout and purposeAnyone who's glorified hustle culture and is now ready to choose alignment over adrenaline

Let’s be honest—you’ve been manifesting, affirming, visualizing…But deep down, you're still thinking: “Is there really enough for me?”
Here’s the truth most people won’t say: You can’t manifest overflow and attract abundance if you’re still operating from lack. You can’t call in “more” when you secretly believe you’re not worthy of it. That’s not manifestation—that’s mental burnout in disguise.
In this episode of From the Ground to the Crown, I’m exposing the silent beliefs that block your blessings—and how I went from feeling hopeless about love to calling in my husband from Tinder. (Yes. Really.)
Because abundance isn’t just about money—it’s about alignment. It’s about expanding what you believe you’re allowed to have.
📣 Who This Episode Is For:
🗣️ Summary: Let’s talk about how your energy might be blocking your blessings. I’m keeping it real on what it takes to attract abundance in love, money, opportunities, truly—and why it has nothing to do with what’s in your bank account and everything to do with what’s in your belief system. I’m also getting personal and sharing how I attracted my husband on Tinder (yes, Tinder!) after I stopped acting like there was “nobody out there for me” and started believing that I was the one somebody was praying for. Tune in for tangible shifts you can make today to start speaking and living like there’s always more than enough.

Where are you still speaking of scarcity? Are you wondering why you’re not seeing overflow?
