MORE With Monique
Hosted by Monique DeBose · ENGLISH
Fifteen years ago, Monique DeBose wrote a song called “MORE” when she took a leap of faith and quit the corporate world to chase her dreams of becoming a singer. One year ago, after a #2 album and speaking at the United Nations, TEDx and Mindvalley, she finally plucked up the courage to put her song out into the world- and began a movement for women choosing MORE. In this deeply intimate and inspiring podcast, Monique will explore the stories of a diverse range of women who have chosen MORE for their own lives- from quitting a stable career to champion a little known politician named Barack Obama to becoming an global popstar and then making the decision to walk away from it all. We’ll find out what women are choosing MORE of, why and the impact it has had on their lives. Monique will also share tips and exercises that will help you to integrate everything you desire into your own life in a practical and fun way. What do you choose MORE of? It’s time to decide and make it happen. For behind the scenes content and conversation regarding the podcast, join the Facebook Group Women Choosing MORE
