In Your Right Mind with Monique Rhodes

What if the key to feeling happier, calmer, and more grounded isn't found in doing more—but in stepping outside? In this episode, I explore how nature quietly resets your brain chemistry, boosts your mood, and reconnects you with a deeper rhythm of life. You'll discover why just a few minutes a day outdoors can trigger powerful "happy hormones" like serotonin and dopamine—and how this simple shift...

Most of us were never taught how to feel our emotions—only how to fight them, ignore them, or let them take over. In this episode of In Your Right Mind , I share how true emotional mastery doesn't come from control, but from understanding. You'll learn how to respond instead of react, how to stay present with difficult feelings, and how even small shifts in awareness can completely change your lif...

You don't need to save the world to make a real difference. In fact, the most powerful thing you can do is often much closer than you think.   In this episode, I share how shifting your focus to the people already in your life—the ones right in front of you—can create more impact, more connection, and more peace than you ever imagined. This isn't about doing more. It's about doing what matters .

Some days it's hard to show up for yourself. But what if you thought of it as showing up for the you who hasn't arrived yet? In this episode, I explore the quiet power of doing small things today that your future self will thank you for. The kind of love that compounds over time—one choice at a time.

You're not imagining it—your thoughts are heavier because of what you're feeding your mind. The news you binge, the shows you watch, the social feeds you scroll—they're shaping how you think and how you feel. In this episode, I share how one small change in mental input transformed a client's entire experience of life—without anything external shifting. If you feel anxious, distracted, or flat, th...

What do you do when things keep going wrong—and staying open feels impossible? In this episode of In Your Right Mind , we explore the quiet power of choosing openness, even in the face of disappointment, frustration, or pain.

Most of us are searching for happiness in the big moments—the goals achieved, the breakthroughs, the perfect timing. But what if we've been looking in the wrong places? In today's episode of In Your Right Mind , we explore the quiet joy that lives in the smallest details of everyday life. The warmth of water on your hands. The rhythm of chopping vegetables. The way brushing your hair can become an...

What if your future happiness—or your future suffering—has less to do with what happens to you… and more to do with the way you meet this moment, right now? In today's episode of In Your Right Mind , we explore a powerful truth: every time we open or close our mind, we're planting seeds. Over time, those seeds grow into our lived experience—into either inner freedom or quiet frustration. This epis...

In a world that feels more divided, noisy, and overwhelming than ever, it's easy to believe we're all on our own. But what if the real solution isn't louder opinions or bigger platforms—but a quieter, more revolutionary act: caring?

We're all searching for happiness, but most of us are looking in the wrong place. This episode unpacks the invisible habit that's quietly sabotaging your joy — and the surprisingly simple mindset shift that can change everything. If you've ever felt like peace is always just out of reach, this one's for you. 

We were taught how to read, how to work hard, how to achieve — but almost none of us were taught how to feel. Really feel. When heartbreak hits or life unravels, most of us panic, distract, or retreat into stories that make it worse. But there's another way. This episode is a tender invitation to stop running from your emotions and start listening to them — not to fix them, but to free yourself.

You think your problem is the situation—but what if it's the way you're seeing it? In this powerful podcast, I explore how rigid thinking quietly sabotages peace, and why learning to loosen your grip on just one belief can change everything. The answer isn't in fixing your life—it's in freeing your mind.

It's not the big fights that break most relationships—it's the silence that stretches out between them. Time and distance can quietly turn closeness into disconnection. If there's someone you've been meaning to reach out to, this is your sign. Before the gap becomes too wide, before the regret sets in—here's what you need to remember about keeping love, friendship, and connection alive.

What happens when the person who once caused you pain unexpectedly reaches out with an apology? You might think you're over it—but your body remembers. Your heart remembers. This story isn't about getting closure or forgiving too soon. It's about what happens when you stop bracing and start softening and on how healing often begins—not with effort, but with kindness.

Not every friendship is meant to last forever—and that's not a failure. It's growth. In today's podcast, I unpack why some connections fade, how to tell when it's time to let go, and why honoring the kind of relationships you actually want will change everything. You may not need more friends. You may need the right ones.

If you've been doing all the inner work and still feel like nothing's shifting—this might be the missing piece. True transformation doesn't come from trying harder, it comes from softening, loosening the grip, and letting life meet you where you are. This isn't about giving up—it's about finally letting in the change you've been chasing. You don't need to push more. You need to soften. Here's why...

The name "Christianity" often carries heavy baggage—judgment, exclusion, harshness. But what if beneath it all lies a story worth hearing again? In this episode, I explore the life Jesus lived, the love he taught, and how his way invites kindness, justice, humility, and belonging for everyone —whether you believe or not. If you're tired of the noise and longing for what faith could genuinely mean,...

When life doesn't go according to plan, it's easy to label the moment a failure. But what if that rejection, that derailment, that "no" is actually life redirecting you? Discover why your biggest disappointment might just be the beginning of your most meaningful chapter. You don't have to believe it yet. You just have to stay open.

We spend so much of our lives believing we're flawed, broken, or not enough. But what if that was never true? What if the part of you that feels unworthy isn't your truth—but just a story you've been repeating? Today's podcast invites you to look beneath the labels, beyond the shame, and remember the deeper part of yourself that has always been whole, no matter what you've been through.

Think confidence is something you're either born with or not? Think again. Real confidence isn't a personality trait—it's a byproduct of courage, repetition, and resilience. In this piece, we break down why waiting to "feel ready" is the very thing holding you back, and how the path to unshakable confidence starts with one bold move (even if you're shaking while you take it). You don't need to be...

The world doesn't fall apart all at once — it slips away slowly, each time we say, "It's not my problem." You don't need a microphone or a movement to make a difference. You just need to stop pretending your actions don't count. Because they do. Every single one.

Ever catch yourself assuming the worst about what people mean, think, or feel about you? That quiet mental habit might be draining your energy and damaging your relationships more than you realize. In this episode, we explore the simple—but powerful—shift in perspective that can bring more ease, connection, and emotional clarity into your everyday life.

We're surrounded by people, flooded with messages, and constantly "connected"—so why do so many of us still feel unseen? In this episode, we explore the one human need that matters more than validation, more than success, and more than being liked. It's what we all crave—but most of us have no idea how to give or receive. If you've ever longed to feel truly understood, this is the conversation tha...
