CONVERSATION HIGHLIGHTS

• What happens when you try to fit in anywhere
  with something that’s not authentic to what you TRULY need to be in alignment with your soul’s purpose.
• How a trip to India upended her life completely (in a good way).
• What self-transcendence means.
• The fault in our life’s programming.
• Self-Leadership & finding yourself.
• “I am an example of if you don’t give up, if you are constant in your work, if you have faith and you do things from your heart, at some point, the right timing will appear and then things will flow.”
• The power of humility.
• The seven levels of wisdom and our three tiers of development.
• “I am not an animal that will just follow a crowd.”
• You’re not supposed to know where life’s tests will take you — or else they wouldn’t be test.
• Near-death wisdom.
• Points of peace in your life.
• The power of inner kindness and benevolence.

The MAIN QUESTION underlying my conversation with Mónica is, How are you responding to the voice that’s calling you to transform into what it is you’re meant to be?
