Rising Femme with Monique Harding

Today, I want to share a personal journey I've been on, one that's been shaping my business and life in profound ways. Over the past few weeks, I stepped away from social media and took some much-needed space to reflect on what I truly want. This time off has allowed me to explore deeper questions about my identity—who I am and what truly lights me up. Through this introspective process,...

Since stepping away from social media, I’ve been recording the podcast in real-time, drawing inspiration from recent client conversations. Initially, I had a content plan aligned with the launch of Luminate, but I’ve shifted to more spontaneous episodes that resonate with what’s currently on my heart. Today, I want to discuss a key theme from a recent Luminate hot seat call: the concept that we al...

Some big changes in my world recently. If you follow me on Instagram, you'll know that I've taken a leap—I'm off the grid as of July 2024. No more social media for now.

This decision wasn't easy, especially in the midst of launching my group coaching program, Luminate, for the second time....

I wanted to record this episode for those with growth goals in your business. Most women who listen to this podcast are ambitious, driven, and goal-focused.

As business owners, we often overlook the social influences around us, and in doing so, we do our ideal clients a huge injustice.
