    My Trainers: The Fitness Advice Women Needed Years Ago

    Strength training is one of those things most women know they should be doing… but no one really explains where to start, what actually matters, or how to walk into a gym without feeling completely out of place. So in this episode, I brought in the women I trust with my training - Tash and Eftie, coaches at FiitClub, a boutique strength studio built around real women, real bodies, and real lives. Because this conversation isn’t about gym culture, six-packs, or doing more for the sake of it. It’s about helping you feel strong, confident, capable, and supported, especially if you’ve ever felt intimidated by the weights room, stuck doing cardio, or confused about what actually works. We’re having the honest conversations women are rarely given access to: cardio vs strength training, from fat loss to gym fear, busy schedules, cycles syncing your workouts, training during pregnancy and the the importance of community, consistency, and how to really get results. 🤝 CONNECT Follow: FiitClubWebsite: https://www.fiitclub.com.au/Buy Tickets: SUNDAY WELLNESS CLUB February 22nd– a women-centered wellness day with workout, workshop, and community. 🧾 LINKS & RECEIPTS ⁠FREE 1:1 Foundational Health Review ⁠(Limited Time offer - 10 women only) - Secure your Spot ⁠⁠Watch FULLY CHARGED ⁠⁠- watch the FREE Masterclass to start your 2026 at an advantage ⭐ SUPPORT THE SHOW Please Subscribe, Rate, and Review over on Apple Podcasts to help support the show!

    The Morning Non-Negotiables That Separate Successful Women

    If morning routines actually worked the way Instagram says they do, every woman with a matcha and a journal would be wildly successful. In this episode of In Her Era, I'm dismantling the romanticised, unrealistic idea of morning routines and replacing it with something that actually works: science-backed habits that prime your brain, biology, and energy for execution. This isn’t about waking up at 4am, ice baths, or a 12-step wellness checklist.It’s about reducing decision fatigue, stabilising energy, protecting focus, and setting your nervous system up to win the day — consistently. I break down the needle-moving morning habits that take less than 30 minutes, why they work from a neuroscience and biological perspective, and how to adapt them to your life — whether you’re single, busy, a mother, building a business, or all of the above. I also walk you through my own minimalist morning routine — not because you need to copy it, but to show how powerful simplicity becomes when habits are intentional. If you want 2026 to be your most focused, energised, and successful year yet — this episode is one you'll want to dive into. Because your morning doesn’t need to be aesthetic.It needs to make your life easier, your brain sharper, and your goals more inevitable. 🧾 LINKS & RECEIPTS FREE 1:1 Foundational Health Review (Limited Time offer - 10 women only) - Secure your Spot ⁠Watch FULLY CHARGED ⁠- watch the FREE Masterclass to start your 2026 at an advantage ⭐ SUPPORT THE SHOW Please Subscribe, Rate, and Review over on Apple Podcasts to help support the show!

    Why Your Vision Board Doesn't Work Without This

    January motivation alone won’t carry you to December success. And it's why most women won't achieve their goals. In this episode of In Her Era, I’m breaking down the exact goal-setting framework I use to actually follow through - one that’s been built from years of iteration, high-performance strategy, and neuroscience-backed behaviour change. Because goals don’t fall apart due to a lack of desire.They fall apart because there’s no structure underneath them. This episode walks you through my 3-step goal projection process - from categorising your life into clear buckets, to choosing focused priorities for the year, to breaking big goals into micro-actions that actually fit into real life. You’ll learn how to stop spreading yourself thin, stop relying on willpower, and start building habits, routines, and environments that support the woman you’re becoming — even when motivation drops or life gets busy. This is the first episode in a New Year series designed to help you build a high-performing year from the inside out - not by doing more, but by creating the systems that will sustain you to achieve those goals. If you’re ready for 2026 to be the year you stop starting over… this episode sets the foundation. 🧾 LINKS & RECEIPTS Follow Monique at @itsmoniquetook Watch FULLY CHARGED - watch the FREE Masterclass to start your 2026 at an advantage ⭐ SUPPORT THE SHOWPlease Subscribe, Rate, and Review over on Apple Podcasts to help support the show!

    Before You Set 2026 Goals, Listen to This

    Before you dive into vision boards, big goals, or intentions for next year, there’s one step most people skip: reflecting on the year that was. In this episode, I walk you through my Reflect & Project process - my strategy to close out your year so you start 2026 already running. We cover: Why your brain loves goal-setting before you’ve achieved anything (dopamine alert!) How reflection rewires your brain to register wins and build real confidence The negativity bias that makes you forget your achievements - and how to counter it Vision boarding backed by neuroscience (not woo) Creating white space to invite opportunity and expansion My personal 2025 reflection: foundation, delusional belief, and shedding Perfect for high-performing women who want to finish 2025 well and step into 2026 fully aligned, energised, and ready to become the woman you want to be ☁️ JOURNAL PROMPTS IN THE EPISODE:       What were some lessons you learnt, What are you SO proud of this year What habit or routine actually stuck? What did you get better at without even realising? What felt easier this year than last? What drained you? What was challenging?      What do you want less of in 2026 and not take into the new year. What no longer serves the woman you’re becoming? FOLLOW: @itsmoniquetook FREE MASTERCLASS - Fully Charged

    30 Life Lessons in 30 years

    In this episode, I’m sharing something really special…the 30 biggest lessons I’ve learned in 30 years. Some are fun, some are uncomfortable, some were quite expensive, and some literally changed the trajectory of my life. I hope that even one of these lessons help impact your life in someway (and maybe save you a lot of trial and error mistakes like I had) Some little things you’ll get out of this episode: How to stop living for others and make decisions that align with your future selfWhy small 1% shifts create more real change than massive once-off effortHow to add to make the ordinary moments extraordinaryThe power of boundaries, choosing yourself, and not shrinking for other people’s opinionsHow to trust the process, let go of timelines, and continually reinvent yourself without guilt Thank you so much for listening to this episode…it honestly means the world. If one of these lessons landed for you, I’d love to hear which one. We’ve got one more episode before the Christmas break and my birthday (I'm 30 on the 28th of December), so make sure you’re following the show so you don’t miss it.

    I’M INTERVIEWED: My 30th Birthday Q&A

    My most vulnerable (and emotional) episode to date. I’m 30 at the end of this month, so I thought what better time to do a Q&A of all the things I learnt in my 20s. And you did not hold back with your questions Today’s episode I brought on my younger sister - Emily Took - the one who has known me the longest, lived with me, and is brutally honest enough to call me out instantly. This episode was the hardest one I’ve ever recorded, with topics that ranged from: relationships, painful lessons, mistakes, body image and self worth, friendships. Even discussing things i haven’t shared publicly (sorry parents!). You asked the hard questions and I gave you everything (and yes I did cry) So if you’ve ever wanted a real, unfiltered look into my life, my growth, and the lessons shaping my current era, this is it.

    Your Perfume Could Be Disrupting Your Hormones w/ Your Bliss Founder Maddie Webb

    In this episode of In Her Era, I sit down with Maddie Webb, founder of Your Bliss, the Australian clean-perfume brand giving women something we’ve genuinely never had before, luxurious, long-lasting scents without the hidden hormonal disruptors so common in traditional fragrance. We dive deep into the health journey that led Maddie here, from a decade of undiagnosed endometriosis and PCOS, to the moment a surgeon told her she had to rethink everything she was putting in and on her body. That single conversation sent her down the rabbit hole of low-tox living… except for one thing: perfume. When Maddie discovered how unregulated the perfume industry is and how many endocrine-disrupting chemicals hide under the word “fragrance” she realised there was no alternative on the market that felt luxurious, long-lasting, or true to the confidence-boosting ritual perfume is for women. So she built one. Together, we explore: How her decade-long struggle with endometriosis became the catalyst for creating a brand now helping thousands of womenThe shocking realities of the beauty industry and what “fragrance” actually meansWhy low-tox living doesn’t have to be perfect it just needs to be intentionalThe emotional and personal growth that came from building a business from scratchHow she’s helping women reconnect with scent without sacrificing their healthThis episode is full of honesty, education, woman-to-woman empowerment, and the reminder that your pain can become your purpose. “Perfume isn’t just a smell. It’s who you become when you wear it.” Connect with us: Instagram: @itsmoniquetook Instagram: @yourbliss_parfum Instagram: @maddieelliseburton Website: Your Bliss

    Become the Woman Who Has It All (And Can Hold It) — with Jess Martin

    This conversation is what I wish I had heard five years ago. In this episode, I sit down with Jess Martin, business mentor, top-rated podcast host, and founder of a multi six-figure personal development brand for women in business. Jess is someone I’ve admired for a long time, and We dive into the real reason why strategy alone isn’t enough. You can have the perfect goals, the five-year plan, and the vision board… but if your subconscious doesn’t believe you’re the kind of woman who can hold what you’re calling in, it will never stick. Jess breaks down how our childhood programming shapes the way we feel about success, money, and growth, and how those old patterns quietly block the next level. We talk about safety around money, identity shifting, visualisation, and the science behind manifestation (not the fluffy version). Jess shares practical tools you can use every morning and night to reprogram your subconscious, calm your nervous system, and start embodying the woman you want to be. This episode is for any high-achieving woman who knows she’s doing “all the right things” but still isn’t seeing the results she desires. If you feel like you’re ready to step into a bigger version of yourself in 2026, this conversation will give you the mindset, tools, and upgrades to get there. What you’ll learn: Why strategy alone won’t work if your subconscious doesn’t believe you can have what you wantPractical tools to reprogram your subconscious in the morning + at nightHow to use visualization and mental rehearsal properly (the science behind it)Patterns high-achieving women unknowingly repeat that sabotage growth Connect with us: Instagram: @itsmoniquetook Instagram: @jessmartin__ Website: www.jessmartin.com.au
