"I am God. You are God. We're all God. We're all the creator. So we never give ourselves more than what we can handle."
Hey there, beautiful souls! It's Monica here, diving into another deep and thought-provoking chat with you all. Today, we're unraveling the fine line between confidence and arrogance. It's a tricky balance, right? We're exploring why people often confine others into boxes and how this shapes our perception of ourselves and others. I've been pondering whether arrogance is just confidence taken to another level, and if so, how does it impact not just us but those around us?
We also touched on personal responsibility and how our choices ripple out to affect others. I'm really passionate about the idea that being true to ourselves doesn't mean ignoring the impact we have. And let's talk about apologies - or the lack thereof. I've been thinking a lot about whether we, especially as women, need to apologize less and stand firmer in our truths. It's all about finding that balance, right?
Lastly, we dove into the importance of self-reflection. It's about being radically honest with ourselves and others. Are we being arrogant, or are we just confidently walking our path? It's a journey, friends, and I'm right here with you, figuring it all out. Let's keep this conversation going and grow together in our authenticity and empowerment.

"Intent is everything. If you can't be honest with yourself about why you're doing something, then are you truly aware
Hey there, beautiful souls! It's Monica here, bringing you another heart-to-heart from our latest podcast episode. We dove deep into the choices we make in our daily lives, and let me tell you, it was a journey! We chatted about everything from our strange detachment from "normal" society to the profound impact of our families on our lives. We even touched on the expansive universe and the intriguing thought of unseen galaxies.
But things got really personal when we discussed cutting toxic people out of our lives - yes, even family. It's all about creating a tribe that uplifts us, not drags us down. And guess what? Sometimes, that means walking away from those who don't serve our higher purpose. It's tough, but oh so necessary for growth.
We also explored the idea of being alone but not lonely, embracing solitude as a powerful tool for self-discovery. And let me tell you, it’s not about running away; it's about facing our inner demons head-on. We even questioned the allure of homesteading as a form of escape. Is it really healing, or just another form of avoidance?
As always, we ended our chat with more questions than answers, but that's the beauty of this journey, right? Stay tuned for more raw, honest, and open conversations. Remember, it's all about the choices we make, consciously or subconsciously. Until next time, keep making those bold choices and being the incredible you!

Sin, Morality, and the Dangers of Judgment: Exploring the Grey Areas Part 2 with Molly Nichols

"We're so obsessed with everyone having to think the same way, and if they don't, we're just outraged."
Top Topics:
Radical honesty and self-reflection
Happiness beyond material gains
The concept of Christ consciousness
Respecting diverse opinions and experiences
The dangers of social media echo chambers
Historical perspectives on religion and spirituality
The power of intuition and personal discernment
The role of Jesus in bridging the spiritual gap
The journey of healing and personal development
The evolving nature of entrepreneurship and personal worth
Hey everyone, Monica here! Get ready for a rollercoaster ride in this episode of Choices "Sin, Morality, and the Dangers of Judgment: Exploring the Grey Areas" with Molly! So, I start us off in true Monica fashion, pondering over my favorite conundrum: “Am I genuinely happy, or am I just a master of self-deception?” Yeah, it's my own little existential crisis. But let's be real, aren't we all in that boat, trying to figure it out?
Then, in comes Molly, diving headfirst into some serious spiritual discussions. She's chatting about Jesus being the ultimate rebel. And no, we're not talking about a James Dean kind of rebel here, though that’s an amusing thought. We delve into everything from Christ consciousness to why sometimes religion gives off major 'no fun allowed' vibes. Imagine a theology class but with more laughter and fewer raised eyebrows.
To top it off, we grapple with what seems to be the never-ending quest of every modern soul out there: striking that elusive balance between relentless hustle and the pursuit of genuine, deep-in-your-bones happiness. It's the kind of conversation that might just inspire you to climb a mountain and meditate - or, at the very least, give it a ponder while you're lost in the endless scroll of Instagram. Either way, it's another thought-provoking episode of 'Choices', packed with more questions than answers – but hey, that's the beauty of it, right? Stay tuned, and let's dive in!

Hello, Beautiful! Monica here, and you're in for a treat with this episode of "Unveiling the Truth: Seeking Wisdom, Challenging Beliefs, and Embracing Growth" I had the fantastic Molly join me, and boy, does she have a story to tell. We kicked things off with a stroll down memory lane, reminiscing about Molly's early experiences with spirituality. It's like a "Throwback Thursday" but on a deeper, more "what's life all about" level.
Then, we dove into Molly's journey through the maze of fertility challenges. She shares her rollercoaster ride of emotions and experiences, which, let's be real, had more ups and downs than my last attempt at a fad diet. Molly opened up about her identity crisis and the spiritual journey that followed. Imagine trying on different spiritual hats and seeing which one fits best – that's kind of what she went through. It's a story of self-discovery with a side of soul-searching, and trust me, it's as intriguing as it sounds.
Wrapping up, we chatted about finding inner peace and connecting with something greater than ourselves. Molly's insights on renewing her faith and finding her path are like a breath of fresh air in a room full of stale clichés. We even touched on the big J – Jesus – not in a preachy way, but more like discussing an old friend who's had a significant impact. So, tune in, get cozy, and join us on this heartfelt yet light-hearted journey. Remember, life's a wild ride, but with a bit of humor and a lot of heart, we can make it a great one.

Hey there, lovely listeners! It's your favorite podcast host, Monica, back with another episode of "Deep Dives & Sarcastic Sides." Today, we're jumping headfirst into a whirlpool of spirituality, ego, and the human race's penchant for running off cliffs like a bunch of lemmings. Trust me, it's going to be an enlightening rollercoaster – with a twist of sarcasm, of course!
The Intricate Dance of Inner Healing
First off, let's talk about the ever-confusing dance of introspection. You know, that thing where every spiritual guru tells you to "find your answers within?" Well, I'm here wondering, are we tuning into our higher self or just having a chit-chat with our ego? It's like being on a cosmic blind date with yourself – you never know who's going to show up!
The Unhealed Self: Our Constant Companion
Here's a reality check – if you're incarnated on this crazy planet, you've got an unhealed part. That's right, folks! Being one with the cosmos is a work in progress. So, when I say, "Go do your research," I'm crossing my fingers, hoping you're not just binge-watching cat videos and calling it "spiritual awakening."
Lemmings, Humans, and the Cliff of Existence
Did you know about lemming massacres? These little creatures running off cliffs for no apparent reason? Yeah, that sometimes feels like the human race in a nutshell. We’re all just running in circles, possibly towards our own metaphorical cliffs. And before you ask, no, there's no predator chasing us – it's just us, folks!
Looking Back vs. Moving Forward
Now, let's get real about our obsession with the past. We’re like those people who can’t stop talking about their high school glory days. News flash: innovation doesn’t come from mimicking the past. It’s about forging ahead, creating what we need, not rehashing what we had. Let’s be more like inventors, less like historians of our own lives.
Breaking Patterns: The Fear of the New
Ever notice how we’re all stuck on repeat? It’s like we’re scared to change the channel. We need those dark nights of the soul, those moments of being the black sheep, to break free from the herd. Imagine everyone wearing black, and you decide to wear white. Sure, it’s more work (hello, laundry!), but someone’s got to show it’s possible to be different.
Are We All Just Cosmic Mutts?
In a surprising twist, our conversation veers into the realm of genetics and identity. Guess what? We might all be cosmic mutts, with a mishmash of ancestries stirring up our DNA cocktail. No wonder we’re a bit all over the place! It’s like having a family reunion with ancestors from 14 generations – talk about a crowded house!
Embracing Our Roles: From 3D to Soul Mission
Let’s dive into the concept of roles. Whether you’re thinking about your 3D job or your soul mission, it’s all about embracing your part in this cosmic play. Not everyone can be the innovator throwing spaghetti at the wall. We need the record-keepers, the pioneers, the testers, and yes, even the skeptics.
The Value of Every Role
Here’s a radical idea: let's start valuing every role equally. From the janitor to the CEO, everyone’s contribution is vital. It’s about time we ditch the hierarchy and start appreciating each other for the unique pieces we are in this jigsaw puzzle called life.
The Ego and The Quest for Perceived Power
Why are we so obsessed with hierarchies, anyway? Spoiler alert: it’s the ego. We’re all chasing that dopamine rush of being “better” than someone else. But what if we embraced the idea that everyone's role is equally important? That the janitor is as crucial as the principal? Mind-blowing, right?
The Great Reset: Burning Down to Rebuild
Sometimes, I wonder if we just need to let everything burn down (metaphorically, of course) to start anew. It’s like realizing we’ve been calling a three-legged stool a chair. It’s time to acknowledge it’s not working and build something that actually does.
Time Stamps:
The desire for power and control (00:08:37) Discussion on the hierarchy and the ego-driven desire for power, recognition, and control in society.
The importance of foundational roles (00:07:11) Highlighting the interconnection and equal value of all roles in society, from janitors to principals, and the necessity of each role being fulfilled.
Looking forward vs looking backward (00:03:11) Exploring the tendency to focus on finding solutions in past problems rather than looking forward and innovating for the future.
The desire for change and societal roles (00:09:39) The speaker expresses frustration with the current state of society and suggests the need for a radical shift in order to make progress.
The importance of diversity and interconnectedness in nature (00:10:53) The speaker discusses the necessity of different roles and perspectives in nature and how this applies to societal structures.
The evolving perspectives and progress being made (00:15:11) The speaker acknowledges that progress is being made, albeit slowly, and highlights the importance of ongoing conversations and personal growth in creating change.
The desire for power and control (00:19:39) Discussion about the need to accept that not everything will go our way and how we perceive failure.
The importance of deep acceptance (00:21:33) Exploration of the concept of deep acceptance and how it relates to personal growth and embracing both the highs and lows of life.
Expanding possibilities and the great awakening (00:23:37) Conversation about the joy of expanding one's mind and being expanded by others, and the belief that this time will be remembered as the great awakening in human history.
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?

Hey there, Choice Makers! It's your host, Monica, back again with another mind-bending episode of "Choices" – the podcast where we don't just skim the surface, we dive deep. And guess what? Today's episode picks up right where we left off with Kim's eye-opening talk. Remember when I said there wouldn't be a part two? Well, surprise! I’m all about defying expectations, and here we are, ready to unravel more layers of the intriguing conversation we started.
Today, we've got Abigail joining the mix. She had the sneak peek of Kim’s episode and trust me, her insights are as sharp as her wit. She's bringing in perspectives that will make you rethink, reevaluate, and maybe even revolt against the norm – in a good way, of course!
So, Abigail, what's on your mind after that rollercoaster of an episode?
The Role of Women and The Weight of History
Abigail dives right in, questioning the role of women in society and the weight of historical actions. She brings up Ellen Pompeo's take – you know, the star from Grey's Anatomy – who believes that those who broke the system should be the ones fixing it. A fascinating point, indeed. But is it just white people's responsibility? This sparks a lively debate among us.
The Intricacies of Power and Responsibility
As we spiral deeper into this conversation, we tackle the sensitive yet critical issues of race, power, and the ongoing cycle of trauma and healing. It's a mix of history lessons with a dash of sarcasm and real talk – Monica style! We ponder whether any group can single-handedly usher in change without causing more trauma. Spoiler: history suggests it's a complicated affair.
Religion, Spirituality, and the Pursuit of Truth
Hold onto your hats because we're about to wade into the waters of religion and spirituality. Is religion one of humanity's missteps, or does it hold a deeper significance? We explore the fine line between faith and dogma, the power of personal conviction, and the constant need to question our own beliefs. It’s about getting real with what we believe and why.
The Personal Journey to Power and Understanding
We then pivot to a more personal exploration. How do our backgrounds, experiences, and the stories we've been told shape our perception of power and others? It's about peeling back the layers of our own narratives to understand the wider story of humanity.
Time Stamps:
The role of women in society (00:01:24) Discussion about the role of women in society and whether there is a certain group of people with additional weight in moving society forward.
Responsibility of white people in addressing social issues (00:02:15) Exploration of the belief that white people have a responsibility to fix social issues because they are the ones who broke it.
Perceived power and victim mentality (00:07:24) Conversation about the collective narrative of perceived power held by white people and the victim mentality experienced by people of color and minority groups.
Perceived Power and Victimhood Consciousness (00:10:58) Discussion on how race tends to play a large role in victimhood consciousness and the concept of perceived power.
The Responsibility to Educate (00:13:22) Exploration of the responsibility to educate ignorant individuals and the challenges of shifting deeply ingrained narratives.
Volunteering as Tribute (00:17:06) Reflection on the role of lightworkers and the potential impact of sharing truth and dismantling the narrative of perceived power.
The role of luck in finding positive examples (00:21:44) Discussion on how luck plays a role in finding positive examples in society and the importance of not just looking for examples that confirm our beliefs.
Considering the harm caused by imperfect households (00:23:19) Exploration of the harm caused by imperfect households and the need to address the harm caused by individuals who are not inherently evil but still cause damage.
Religion as a source of trauma and conviction (00:26:03) Critique of religion as a source of trauma and discussion on the conviction of individuals who believe they are saving the world through their religious beliefs.
The inner power and breaking cycles (00:32:23) Discussion about the tendency to be fooled and the belief in one's own rightness, and the idea that connecting to inner power would help see through societal issues.
To be continued (00:33:26) Announcement of the episode continuing in the next episode, encouraging anticipation and inviting listeners to subscribe and engage on social media.
Closing remarks and call to action (00:33:26) Expressing gratitude for tuning in, encouraging a five-star review, and inviting listeners to connect on social media for further conversation.
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.
