Welcome to the very first episode of The Monice Hour! In this short but heartfelt introduction, I share my story: navigating the journey of coming out, embracing my identity as a queer mother, and the challenges of battling with my sexuality along the way. This episode is all about why staying true to yourself matters—because living authentically isn’t just a choice; it’s a powerful act of self-love. Join me as I set the stage for the conversations to come.

Coming To Terms With The Truth 32:55

πριν 6 μέρες32:55

32:55

Finding out I need surgery hit me with a truth I’ve been avoiding which is: there aren’t many people I can truly rely on. Yeah, there are people who love me, but love and showing up aren’t the same thing. As a single parent, I already carry so much on my own, and this just made me realize how alone I really am. In this episode, I get real about burnout, feeling unsupported, and the weight of doing everything alone. I’m also sharing ways to build the support system you do need, even if it takes a while to build it. From delegating tasks to creating a support system of chosen people, we’re talking about how to lighten the load and stop running on empty. If you’ve ever felt like it’s all on you, this one’s for you. Instagram: @themonicehour X.com: @themonicehour…

Valentine’s Day isn’t just about being in a relationship—it’s about celebrating love in all forms. Whether it’s romantic, platonic, or self-love, this day is a reminder that you are worthy of love no matter your relationship status. In this episode, I talk about why being single on Valentine’s Day doesn’t mean you’re missing out and how you can make the day special for yourself. Plan a solo date, buy yourself flowers, dress up, and romanticize your life the way you deserve. I also share ways to show love to your platonic friendships—maybe plan a girls’ night out or host a fun Galentine’s celebration. Plus, I’ll share my favorite Valentine’s Day memories, from being single to being in a relationship, and how I’m spending this year showering my daughter with love. And if you're in a relationship, let’s be real, love isn’t just for one day a year. No matter how you celebrate, this episode is your reminder that love starts with YOU. 💕 Instagram: @themonicehour X.com: @themonicehour…

Everything Feels Like Too Much, So Let’s Talk About It 16:54

Lately, the world has felt like a lot—political chaos, DEI rollbacks, and just the overall heaviness of everything happening around us. In this episode, I sit down for a raw and unfiltered vent session about how overstimulating it’s been, the weight of having Trump back in office, and how all of this is affecting my mental health. I also reflect on my own struggles with keeping my word to myself, stepping outside my comfort zone, and finding peace in the midst of it all. This episode was recorded before the recent plane crash tragedies, and my heart goes out to everyone affected. If you're struggling to find peace right now—whether because of global events or personal battles—just know you're not alone. I encourage you to go within, focus on what you can control, and take care of yourself. Disconnect when you need to. Meditate, rest, and give yourself grace. Let’s talk about it. 💙 Instagram: @themonicehour X.com: @themonicehour…

In this week’s episode, we dive deep into the topic of imposter syndrome—a feeling many of us face but rarely talk about. Imposter syndrome can hold us back from reaching our full potential, trapping us in doubt, fear, and even complacency because staying in the familiar feels safer than stepping into the unknown. I open up about how imposter syndrome shows up in different areas of my life and share practical tips for overcoming it, along with affirmations to help you break free from its grip. Whether you’re looking for actionable advice, personal insight, or just reassurance that you’re not alone in this struggle, this episode has something for you. If imposter syndrome has been keeping you stuck, tune in—I promise, you won’t be disappointed. Instagram: @themonicehour X.com: @themonicehour…

Happy New Year! As we step into 2025, I’m taking a moment to reflect on the relationships that came to an end last year. In this episode, I’m sharing the lessons those endings taught me and how they’ve shaped my journey. Letting go isn’t always easy, but it’s essential to make space for healing, growth, and everything we’re meant to receive. This is about releasing what no longer serves us, moving forward with intention, and focusing on becoming the best version of ourselves. Let’s talk about growth, self-love, and starting fresh in the new year. I hope this episode encourages you and uplifts you. Instagram: @themonicehour X.com: @themonicehour…

Queerness & Friendships 26:07

Making friends as an adult is hard enough, but throw in an extra layer of queerness, and it becomes a whole new challenge. In this episode, I open up about the struggles I’ve faced making friends in a new city—like dealing with a lack of boundaries and being treated as “boyfriend #2.” I also dive into the unique challenges of parenting as a queer mom, including navigating mom friendships and teaching my child that everyone deserves to be their authentic selves. This approach can sometimes clash with other parents who teach their kids more rigid ideas about what boys and girls “should” or “shouldn’t” do. This episode is all about setting clear expectations for your friendships—no matter your gender or sexual identity—and raising the next generation to embrace authenticity.
