Listen to Nova chat with Monique Coleman. A breakout actress from Disney’s “High School Musical” Franchise, Monique has been keeping busy with many films and TV programs. She was nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Host for “Gimme Mo”, which she hosted and executive produced. She was named the first-ever United Nations Youth Champion and hosted the 2022 Girl Hero Awards alongside First Lady Michelle Obama.

Monique is the featured cover star for Raine Magazine Volume 39.

She talks about having traveled to over 40 countries doing her philanthropic work and having amazing experiences and meeting inspiring people.

Monique explains her why. She has a “relentless desire to inspire, to motivate, and to elevate people.” Also – why not? She wants to bring as much joy, awareness, and positive experiences to the world as possible.

She talks about having a calling to do something great that she was aware of from a young age. She talks about tapping into her purpose via multiple experiences.

Why not?

Monique talks about giving and receiving and being empowered – even when you’re young. She talks about the impact of social media and how it creates less connection than we realize.

Nova and Monique talk about The Four Agreements and how we can choose to agree with - and not agree with - the rules we receive when we come into this life.

Monique shares how she got out of her low point during times she wanted to give up. She talks about being honest with yourself about how far you want to go in life – and not judging yourself based on the perception of others. She also talks about the power of expressing gratitude.

“I know what will happen if I stop. What I don’t know is what will happen if I keep going.”

Monique talks about the importance of differentiating goals from intentions (ego versus soul).
