I’ve been traveling with Monique and our boys for the past few weeks. We spent the first 3 weeks in Hawaii, living on a farm, in a friend’s home and in a hotel. Rather surprisingly for me, I actually enjoyed them most in that order—the farm, the home and then the hotel the least!
We then spent a week celebrating Monique’s mum’s 75th birthday by exploring Bryce Canyon and Zion National Park, in Utah. Glorious hikes, views, music-making with the kids and horse riding. And not a family argument in sight!
And last night, Monique and I arrived in Mexico, for a few days on a beach—grown-ups only, this time—to celebrate her friend’s 20th wedding anniversary.
Long term readers and members of my community will know how proud I am of my wife Monique’s journey as an artist, a coach, and a performer.
I’ve shared lessons from her journey, including how she got a diagnosis of a Desmoid tumor and used it to spur much of her success and creativity over the past 3 years. [Update: the tumor continues to shrink].
This trip has been fascinating for me because 16 years after first becoming a coach, I have a business with a small and extraordinary team, who can run everything behind the scenes without me.
I founded a second business called Transition Excellence, two years ago. It’s a 1+1=11 partnership with a close friend. We each stay in our Zone of Genius (he’s responsible for digital marketing and business building; I’m responsible for creativity and community) and we’ve hired another small and extraordinary team, whose mission is to run everything behind the scenes without me.
So, I’ve been watching with awe as Monique has been combining the vacation with working really hard…
Last week, Monique released her fourth single in 11 months. Between them, these tracks have had over 700,000 views on YouTube, plus listens on streaming platforms.
Her new album will be released at the end of August. And what’s even more exciting is that she was also just accepted as a member of the American Recording Academy. Which means that she’s now able to vote for the Grammys—and more importantly… to be nominated for one. Watch this space!
If you are a woman who wants to step into your power, speak your truth and go after what you really, really want, you can join Monique and a group of women in her newest training…
You see, Monique’s third album is about to be released but it is not a normal album. She literally created it as a transformational training…
You Are The Sovereign One…
Live your truth, in a world that tries to crush your authenticity. Fully express yourself, by trusting your inner voice. Stop operating from fear and build a solid grounding from which to make decisions and take action.
This program is for if you are a coach seeking powerful new tools… if you’re a leader ready to deepen your inner confidence… if you’re a woman seeking more in her life… or if you’re a woman of color who wants to be celebrated for her full self…
Join Monique to be transformed—from the inside out—by music, movement, and intimate conversation. You will travel deep into 7 of her songs because each of them is a lesson for your journey.
When you sign up before August 28, you get to join Monique on a special Zoom session “How to Own Your Feminine Power.” Plus, there’s an option to add on one of my programs and join Monique and me for a bonus coaching call. We’ve never before offered this together.
Love. Rich
