Before 2026 starts, there’s weight you were never meant to carry.
In this episode of MON: Monday Over Negativity, I reflect on why 2025 felt so heavy — not because it broke us, but because we kept carrying fear, expired versions of ourselves, expectations we never agreed to, and emotional weight that was never assigned to us.
This isn’t about reinventing yourself.
It’s about releasing what no longer fits.
If you’re tired, reflective, or quietly done pretending you’re excited about things you’ve outgrown, this episode is for you.

🖤 Happy MON. We’re still showing up.
This episode is for the ones who are tired of starting over every Monday — the ones who set goals, get excited, burn out by Wednesday, and whisper, “Why can’t I stay consistent?”
Today, we’re breaking down the real reason habits don’t stick — and the tiny 1% shift that creates a completely different identity over time. Not aesthetic. Not all-or-nothing. Not a full life makeover overnight.
Just small habits with big impact.
Inside this episode:
✨ Why your habits fail before they begin
✨ The 1% Rule (and how it changes EVERYTHING)
✨ Habit stacking in real-life, not Pinterest fantasy
✨ Becoming the person who does the habit — not performing it
✨ The faith piece: Building your ark before the rain
Because MON isn’t about showing up perfect — it’s showing up real. Even at 75%. Even at 1%.
And the tiny habit you build today might be what carries you in the season you’re praying for tomorrow.
Let’s tap in before we clock in. 🤍

Episode 14: The December Reset — This Isn’t a Glow Up… It’s a Becoming
Welcome to Episode 14 and happy December 1st, Mon family. We’re ending the year differently — with clarity, structure, and a real reset… not the aesthetic kind, the becoming kind.
This episode kicks off our 5-week December series, where we build the foundation for who you’re becoming in 2026.
No rushing. No reinventing yourself overnight. Just clearing space mentally, emotionally, spiritually, digitally so the real you can finally breathe.
In today’s reset, we’ll cover:
• Mental Declutter — closing the tabs in your mind
• Energy Reset — stopping the micro-leaks draining your spark
• Digital Declutter — refreshing your nervous system
• Space Reset — creating an environment that supports clarity
• Schedule Reset — building gentle, predictable rhythms
• Faith Anchor: “God will meet me in every small pour.”
• Self-Love Homework: Write a reflection letter to the you you're leaving behind
Plus… we start with two hilarious MON stories (from potluck chaos to homeowner struggles) to remind you that you're not alone you're still showing up.
This isn’t a glow up.
This is a becoming.
And today, you clear the space for it.
Thank you for beginning this December journey with me.
Happy MON & Happy Thanksgiving Week! 🦃💙In this special holiday episode, we’re stepping into Thanksgiving with gratitude, chaos, humor — and yes, the iconic MON clapbacks you will need at the dinner table.
From wild listener stories (a parrot almost blessing the turkey?? dry mac & cheese??) to grounding reminders about gratitude, healing, and boundaries… this episode will carry you through the busiest week of the year.
Inside this episode you’ll hear:
• Funny Thanksgiving MON Stories
• Holiday clapbacks for “When are you having kids?”
• A grounding moment on gratitude + real life
• 1 Thessalonians 5:18
If your holiday looks quieter, messier, or different this year — you’re not alone. You don’t need a perfect year to be grateful. You just need honesty, peace, and a little MON in the morning.
Take a breath.
Eat good food.
Laugh.
And keep showing up — even during the holidays.
Episode Takeaways
• Don’t compare your reality to someone else’s snapshot. People show moments, not truth.
• Seek discernment to understand your own truth. It keeps you grounded in what’s real for you.
• Stay rooted in your own journey. Comparison only creates confusion and dissatisfaction.
• Discernment helps you recognize authenticity — in yourself and others.
• Personal growth requires self-awareness and reflection. You can’t evolve without understanding who you are.
• Focus on your own path, not the pace of others. You’re not behind; you’re becoming.
• Prayer and reflection bring clarity. Slow down enough to hear what God is revealing.
• Understanding your reality is a personal journey. No one else is living your story.
This episode is for anyone in their messy middle — the part of your journey where life feels slow, confusing, uncomfortable, or chaotic… but God is quietly shaping you behind the scenes.
Takeaways:
And the fact that you’re still showing up? That’s everything.

In this episode, Idelys dives into how different cultures approach life after work — from Spain’s slow evenings to the Caribbean’s joyful gatherings and why so many of us in the U.S. have forgotten how to truly live... opens up about navigating burnout, uncertainty, and the pressure to stay grateful when life won’t slow down.
It’s time to shift from survival mode to presence, from autopilot to awareness. Because we weren’t created to just work and recover — we were meant to live. 🤍

You ever notice how life sometimes feels like a mash-up between Happy Gilmore and The Pursuit of Happiness? One minute you’re laughing through the chaos, the next you’re holding it together with faith and fumes.
This week, I talk about the beauty in failure — how hitting rock bottom can actually bring you closer to your purpose. I share the lessons, the laughs, and the little reminders that even your lowest moments are part of God’s bigger plan.
Because faith still works at rock bottom — and so do you.
Takeaways
MONtivation is the pettiest ghost I know — she hypes you up, then disappears like Danny Phantom. 👻
This week, I talk about how MONtivation ghosted me (again), the chaos of 7 p.m. Friday emails, and why I’m done chasing “vibes.”
Instead, I’m building habits that align with Hebrews 12:11 — because discipline is the real love letter to your future self.
Still showing up, even when MONtivation doesn’t. 💙
Takeaways:
• Motivation is fleeting — habits are sustainable.
• Discipline feels heavy now but turns into blessings later.
• Small daily habits > big occasional goals.
• Self-love is doing what your future self will thank you for.
• Plant seeds today that grow into tomorrow’s peace.
• Heaven notices the quiet sacrifices no one else sees. ✨
Society loves to say you’re late — too old for this, too behind for that. But here’s the truth: you’re not late. You’re right on time for what God has planned.
This week on MON, we laugh through chaos (my nephew locked out like a lost Amazon package + your Uber breakdown MON story), then dive into the spider vs. web metaphor, accountability, and therapy. I unpack how family pressures and timelines can weigh on us, but why God’s forecast always overrides society’s deadlines.
We close with scripture, affirmations, and a reset for October — because even if the world says you’re behind, you’re still standing, still showing up, and right on time. 💙

It’s the first day of fall — and it just so happens to land on a Monday. A whole new season starting on Monday Over Negativity. 🍁
In this episode, I’m talking about what needs to fall: old habits, broken trust, and self-doubt. From Instacart fails (cat food and busted blueberries), to a gas pump breakdown, to family chaos that felt like a sitcom — September tested me. But through it all, God reminded me that alignment is greater than effort.
We’ll unpack the phases of alignment (new moon, quarter moon, full glow), share your hilarious MON stories (yes, including the candle instead of coffee), and remind ourselves that even in the dark phases, you’re still aligned and still showing up.
