    Maybe No One Knows What They’re Doing

    Most people walk through life believing everyone else has it all figured out.But what if that belief is completely wrong?In this episode of MON (Monday Over Negativity), Mon explores the surprising truth about adulthood, confidence, and uncertainty: nobody actually has the manual to life.If you’ve ever felt behind in life, unsure of your direction, or like everyone else understands something you don’t, this conversation will remind you of something freeing:Nobody has it all figured out.And that’s exactly why you’re allowed to keep moving forward.Takeaways:1. Nobody actually has life figured outMost adults are learning as they go. The difference between those who grow and those who stay stuck is simply who keeps moving forward.2. Confidence is not the same as certaintyMany people who appear confident are still figuring things out. Confidence often comes from taking action despite uncertainty.3. Growth happens while doing, not beforeDoctors, lawyers, entrepreneurs, and innovators continue learning while practicing their craft. Real mastery develops through experience.4. Waiting for perfect clarity keeps you stuckIf you wait until you understand everything before taking action, you may never start. Progress requires imperfect steps forward.5. The “10-step flashlight” mindsetYou don’t need to see the entire road ahead. You only need enough clarity for the next few steps.6. Faith is trusting the next stepInstead of needing guarantees, faith means trusting that each step will reveal the next.7. The world rewards those who keep showing upMany breakthroughs come from people who simply kept trying, adjusting, and learning along the way.🎙 New MON episodes every MondayYouTube & Instagram: @mondayovernegativityWebsite: www.thisismon.comShop: www.shopmon.us

    Your Oversharing Is Hurting You

    You Don’t Have to Wait to Be Happy

    We’ve been taught to believe happiness comes after the grind, after the goal, the promotion, the healed version of ourselves.But what if happiness isn’t excitement…What if it’s simply when your inner world stops fighting your outer reality?In this episode, we talk about postponing joy, living on emotional credit, and why being present matters just as much as being ambitious. From a funny MON story to the overflowing cup lesson, reflections from The Art of Happiness, and a real conversation about isolation, time, and God, this episode is an invitation to stop preparing to live and start living now.Still showing up 🤍Chapters: 00:00 Intro – Happiness Isn’t Later01:00 MON Story03:30 The Overflowing Cup Story05:30 Postponing Happiness07:30 Person A vs Person B09:30 The Art of Happiness12:20 Men & Isolation Truth13:40 Time, God, & AwarenessTakeaways:Happiness is when your inner world aligns with your outer reality.Many people postpone their happiness for a future version of themselves.Being present is crucial for experiencing happiness.Happiness looks different for everyone based on their backgrounds.Ambition does not have to come at the cost of contentment.You can appreciate where you are while still striving for more.Isolation can be a disguise for fear of vulnerability.Life is about enjoying the journey, not just the destination.Don't miss the blessings in your life by focusing solely on future goals.Instagram & Youtube: @mondayovernegativity

    Stop Expecting You From People

    Expecting people to show up with your emotional depth, care, and intensity can quietly lead to disappointment — and self-doubt.In this episode of MON (Monday Over Negativity), we talk about why expecting others to love, communicate, and respond the way you do often hurts — and why that doesn’t mean you’re too much. Through MON Stories, personal reflection, and a faith-based perspective, this episode unpacks the difference between expectations and projection, emotional capacity, and learning to stop punishing yourself for caring deeply.You’ll be reminded that everyone is wired differently on purpose, that disappointment is proof you cared — not that you cared too much — and that redirecting unreturned energy back into yourself is an act of self-love.Your wiring is sacred.

    Before 2026 Starts, You Need to Let This Go

    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.Still showing up. 🤍Takeaways2025 was a chaotic year filled with ups and downs.It's okay to feel tired and reflective at the year's end.Honoring the version of yourself that made it through is important.Transformation requires releasing what no longer fits.Boring moments are where true growth happens.Obedience and alignment are key to personal growth.Life is about intention, not just busyness.Feeling tired is a sign of growth, not failure.Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mondayovernegativity/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@Mondayovernegativity/videos

    Thanksgiving Episode: Gratitude, Family Questions & MON Clapbacks

    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 5:18If 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.

    Keep Your Candle Burning

    This week on Monday Over Negativity, we’re talking about what happens after gratitude when thankfulness turns into giving. From stories of quiet courage to the candle that kept burning through the storm, this episode reminds you that even small lights can make a big impact. ✨Give what you can, keep what you need, and remember: even cracked candles still glow.Follow along on Instagram @thisismonbrand and shop the latest collection at shopmon.us.Takeaways:True gratitude doesn’t stop at “thank you” it moves into giving and service.Giving isn’t always material, your kindness, time, patience, and energy are gifts too and they often mean more than money.Be ready before the storm.Even cracked candles still shine, you don’t have to be perfect to make an impact. God (and life) can still use you while you’re healing.Self-love and generosity can coexist. Light others’ candles without blowing yours out.Acts like donating Dollar Tree meal kits or volunteering at food drives are powerful ways to give back.You don’t need a platform — just a heart that still cares.

    Shift from Survival to Living

    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. 🤍TakeawaysIn other countries, people live after work.Life isn't rushed in cultures like Spain and France.In the Caribbean, socializing is a way of life after work.Many people in the U.S. go into autopilot after work.We need to learn how to exist without constant doing.Our parents' survival mindset shaped their energy.The current generation must focus on living, not just surviving.Cultural differences impact our approach to work and leisure.Overthinking and stress are common post-work experiences.Finding balance is essential for mental health.Instagram: @thisismonbrandWebsite: www.thisismon.comShop: www.shopmon.us

    MONtivation Ghosted Me!

    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. ✨

    Off Society’s Clock, On God’s Time

    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. 💙takeawaysBusyness can often disguise itself as productivity.Identifying the root causes of stress is crucial for growth.Accountability is not about guilt, but about ownership of one's life.Therapy can provide valuable insights into personal challenges.Societal pressures can create unrealistic timelines for individuals.It's important to trust your own journey and timeline.Resetting at the end of the month can help refocus goals.Recognizing and addressing the 'spiders' in our lives is key to progress.Embracing affirmations can foster a positive mindset.Instagrams:D Furniture House: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/dfurniturehouse?igsh=eXh5b2wzOGRwb3Y3⁠Miriam Hernandez Realtor:⁠https://www.instagram.com/miriamjulissa_realtor?igsh=MTdta2w1cXR1Zjdpdg==

    Fall in Alignment

    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.Takeaways:Even the leaves have to fall to make room for something new.You're not your labels or nicknames.Every phase of life has its purpose.Trust the season you're in.Embrace change as a part of growth.Instagrams:D Furniture House: https://www.instagram.com/dfurniturehouse?igsh=eXh5b2wzOGRwb3Y3Miriam Hernandez Realtor:https://www.instagram.com/miriamjulissa_realtor?igsh=MTdta2w1cXR1Zjdpdg==
