Deep Dive: Rachel Hollis || preview for More Personal
This episode originally aired on my listener-supported, premium podcast, More Personal. If you want access to more deep dives, including part two of this episode, honest reviews, casual convos, book reports, and other bonus content, make sure to become a supporter.
Rachel Hollis is a self-help guru whose empire brought her immense success, but also seemingly caused her downfall. I explore the reasons behind the strong reactions she evokes, her path to the top exceeding expectations, and the damage inflicted on herself and others during her descent. Additionally, I share some personal thoughts and encourage you to consider whether the blame lies solely with her, societal expectations of women, or the blurring of lines between personal identity and brand.

A Medical Emergency (Doing Okay Now!), Juggling Kid Extracurriculars, Hiking on My DSL, Three Things I’m Loving Right Now, Thoughts on Having a Kid in Middle School || Messy Middle May 2024
This monthly series features an episode sharing my recent highs and lows, how my habits are going, a Do Something List update, plus what I'm loving lately and my commitments for the upcoming month. I hope this glimpse into my life, my family, my work, and my own self development encourages you in your own journey.
Around here the goal is never perfection, just to keep trying, even if in very simple ways. I think you'll see that with all of the big changes going on for me, taking the smallest of steps has helped to keep me afloat and feeling like myself. As always, I encourage you to get messy, too!

A Gentle Approach to Cleaning and Maintaining Your Home || with KC Davis
KC Davis is a licensed professional counselor, author, speaker, and the person behind the mental health platform Struggle Care. She offers a profoundly refreshing perspective on home management that's far from the all-or-nothing standard we’re so accustomed to. We dive deep into KC's story, exploring the journey from shame-driven perfectionism rooted in her past struggles with addiction, to discovering a compassionate and gentle approach to maintaining her home.
KC shares how her diagnosis of ADHD at 35 played a significant role in understanding her relationship with cleaning and organization, eventually leading to innovative, shame-free strategies for home maintenance. We discuss the importance of functional living spaces, moving beyond societal pressures and the shame associated with not meeting unrealistic standards of home perfection.
Join us as we discuss how to break free from the shame cycle in home maintenance, fostering a relationship with our living spaces that supports us as individuals, rather than succumbing to overwhelming expectations.

Customer Reviews
My favourite podcast
As soon as Monica releases a new episode, I can’t wait to download it and listen. I love each months themes and how it allows us to dig deeper and learn more. Monica is always so enthusiastic about the carefully chosen topic and you can tell she spends a lot of time and consideration preparing.
Updated to add: still my favourite! I’m finding that each episode’s topic hits home and gives me plenty of opportunities for growth.
Great for men too :)
I’m an Aussie bloke but still find a huge amount of value in Monica’s really refreshing and positive take on things…both for myself, but also in understanding the world through a female lense. It’s become really important listening for me as I try to provide a good ‘foundation for life’ for my five year old daughter. Thank you Monica. You’ve helped me immensely as a father to an amazing little girl. She will also benefit over the years from what I’ve learned from you :)
Love this Podcast!
Monica gives you that hug and kick in the pants that you need! A really inspirational and motivational podcast giving you real life examples and practical tips to live a more fulfilled life! She has helped me to be less of a perfectionist and to just do something !! A great listen. Definitely 5 out of 5!
