Realities of Entrepreneurial Success: Unpopular Opinions & Strategies for Business Evolution with Kim Arneson
"I genuinely believe, business is no fucking different than life; it should not be a constant fight against what comes naturally."
Topics Discussed:
Personal growth and self-awareness
The challenges and realities of running a business
The impact of social media on entrepreneurship
Strategies for managing business and personal evolution
Integrity and honesty in the coaching industry
The balance of practical business approaches and personal values
"Business is so much simpler than the complexity of the coaching industry makes it."
Hello beautiful souls,
We're driving through the entrepreneurial jungle with our girl Kim Arneson and diving headfirst into the messy, chaotic, and absolutely fabulous world of running your own business. Picture this: one minute you’re sipping margaritas on a beach in Sedona, declaring a social media detox, and the next, you’re plunged back into the trenches, wrestling with Instagram algorithms and your own spiritual awakenings.
We've seen it all—business strategies that change more often than my nail polish, and personal growth spurts that are as unpredictable as a plot twist in a telenovela. And yes, we did go there—we compared the relentless pursuit of success to, well, a crackhead's single-minded quest. Shocking? Maybe. True? Absolutely.
In today’s episode, we unravel the coaching industry’s shiny, often sleazy façade. We’re calling out the BS, peeling back the layers of 'best practices' that are about as stable as a house of cards in a windstorm. Join us as we discuss how staying true to yourself and not just chasing shiny objects is more satisfying than any 'Amazon Bestseller' title could ever be.
We’re keeping it real, raw, and ridiculously honest, because if there’s one thing we know—it’s that the most successful entrepreneurs are fluid as fuck. They adapt, they overcome, and they definitely don’t stick to the script. So, if you’re tired of the same old soul-sucking business advice, you’re in the right place.
Grab your favorite drink, get comfy, and let’s shake up the business world together. Remember, it’s not just about surviving the entrepreneurial rollercoaster—it’s about thriving, laughing, and maybe even throwing a few punches at the status quo.
Stick around till the end; it’s going to be epic!
"Entrepreneurship with social media, it's like a coming out online."

Political Identity & Media Bias: The Reality of Science and Politics with Abigail White Part Two

"Now science is not about asking a question and trying to prove that question wrong. Now it's saying, this is what I believe. And now it's about creating an experiment that's going to make that true."
Topics Discussed
The Intersection of Personal Experience and Politics: Monica discusses how personal circumstances, such as her husband’s military service, drew her into the political arena and influenced her views.
Media Bias and Public Perception: An exploration of how different media outlets, including those perceived as liberal, can propagate biases similar to their conservative counterparts.

Is There a Possibility for a Third Party to Win the Election in the USA? with Abigail White Part One

Mindset of Abundance vs. Scarcity: Exploring how the lens through which we view our lives—either as abundant or constrained by external forces—shapes our daily experiences and choices.

"You cannot deny that it's not really the politicians we elect who run the system; it's the big corporations backing them. We're just voting in a face, not actual change."
Hello, beautiful souls! In today's episode we kicked things off with a lighthearted laugh about the chaos that sometimes surrounds eclipse seasons—yes, they happen every year, and no, they aren’t the end of the world. I shared how stepping back from social media helped me stay grounded amidst the hype.
Then, we shifted gears to a more introspective discussion about abundance and scarcity. How do you view your life? Are you driven by external circumstances or do you shape your own destiny? It's all about embracing personal responsibility and choosing happiness every single day.
As the conversation flowed, politics took center stage. We unpacked the disillusionment many feel with the political system, the ineffectiveness of believing in a 'crystal dust'-sprinkling superhero, and the sobering reminder that high school government classes might have been more useful than we thought. We questioned the superhero mentality that so many Americans fall for, expecting one person to fix all.
I shared insights from my time living in the UK, highlighting the stark differences in political engagement and system accountability. The chat got real as we discussed the charismatic yet challenging realities of leaders like Obama and the systemic constraints they face.
We also tackled the critical role of the Supreme Court and how lifetime appointments can shape our laws in profound ways—Roe v. Wade being a poignant example. This led to a broader discussion about the power of young voters and the importance of integrity in politics. The younger generation needs to believe their actions matter—because they truly do.
Towards the end, the conversation turned to the importance of understanding what different political parties stand for, not just during election times but as part of a more informed and continuous engagement with our democratic system.
We wrapped up with a call to action for all of us to not only participate more actively in our democracy but also to support diverse voices in the political arena. It's about making informed choices, not just once every four years, but every day.
Thanks for joining this raw and honest conversation. Let’s keep pushing the boundaries and shaping a world where our choices really do lead to change. Stay tuned, stay engaged, and let’s make those choices count!

We're diving headfirst into the wild world of TikToks & Reels that the conversation needs to be pushed forward! Guided by, ME, the ever-entertaining Monica Cox and her partners-in-chat, Kim Arneson and Abigail White.
We tackled a buffet of clips with the kind of sarcastic wit and sharp insights that could only come from a group that eats controversy for breakfast.

Kim and Abigail added their own flavors of fun and feistiness, ensuring there was never a dull moment. By the end of it, not only had we ridden a rollercoaster of emotions, but we also came away questioning everything from our life choices to why we ever thought watching just one TikTok video was enough. It was all in good fun and perfectly captured the essence of our zany, enlightening podcast shenanigans!

"And I'm not saying into the same belief system, but into the knowledge that the way we're treating the planet isn't healthy, the way we're treating our bodies isn't healthy, the way we're treating our fellow human beings isn't healthy."
We've got a no-holds-barred discussion that'll make you rethink your place in the cosmos—or at least in your own community! Together, they unpacked the hefty suitcase of societal roles, personal accountability, and the not-so-small task of waking up to our environmental and social responsibilities. And let me tell you, it was a wild ride through the realities of 'sheep waking', shepherd leading, and the everyday grind that keeps our world spinning.
Monica and Abigail didn't just stop at world-saving antics; they dove headfirst into what it means to be happy in a world that's obsessed with messiahs and entrepreneurs. With a dash of sass and a whole lot of real talk, they explored how everyone doesn't need to lead the flock to make a difference. Sometimes, just being the best version of yourself is the revolution we need. So, buckle up, beautiful souls, because this episode is not just a podcast—it's a wakeup call to live, laugh, and maybe even lead a little (or not, you do you!).

We’re here learning and growing alongside you as we move the conversation forward together from the BS that’s crushing authentic voices and keeping many in a loop of self-destruction. We’re here to make better choices consciously and truly understand the connection to our subconscious mind. We’re seeking the questions no one is daring to ask and are here to listen to answers with an open mind & loving heart - are you willing to do the same and help move the conversation forward? Alos, anything written or said about diet and mental health are my opinions, that I have formed over the years, through trial and error, study, reading, listening and observing. What worked for me, may not work for you. I am not a doctor, therapist, nutritionist or dietician and all medical advice should be gotten from a qualified professional.

Hey, beautiful souls! We're diving deep into the trenches of parenting—not the sugar-coated version you often hear about, but the messy, gritty reality that tests your patience and resilience.
We also peeled back layers of personal growth, touching on how our inner battles shape our external world. Imagine sitting down with a good friend, where the conversations flow, the truths are spoken, and no topic is off-limits. That's what we had, and I'm thrilled to bring you along on this enlightening journey.
"I'm coming to this realization that those of us that have decided that we're done having children have reached some level of evolution because being a parent is like one of the most trying arenas that one has to step into because you are actively choosing to like forever split your brain in worrying about yourself and worrying about another little being or multiple little beings."

Boy do we have a treat for you today! We're diving deep into the realities of personal growth and how those around us either reflect or influence our journey. Imagine us sitting in a cozy room, sipping tea, and chatting like old friends about the trials and tribulations of becoming better versions of ourselves. We're unpacking everything from why we attract certain people into our lives to how we react to them, and questioning if it's really about us or them.
"Like it is literally a two-way street."
