Episode 39: Done With Hiding! with Monique DeBose
Stepping into your own power.
How do you come out of hiding when you’ve spent a lifetime playing small so that other people don’t feel uncomfortable in your presence?
How do you learn to own and love every part of who you are, even those parts that are hidden in shadow, buried deep inside?
And how do you create the level of self-acceptance needed to feel both safe and free within yourself, as well as with others?
Monique DeBose is a transformational entertainer, an award-winning jazz singer and playwright, a diversity consultant and a leadership coach with a Masters degree in Spiritual Psychology. For the past 20 years, she's been on a mission to help women integrate all the parts of themselves. To turn their fears and insecurities into their strength. To express themselves fully. To choose MORE for their lives.
For Monique the answers lie in allowing herself to experience the constant dance between those human feelings of resistance and fear & her spiritual journey to self-acceptance and safety deep within. We hear how, in her own inner work and in her work with clients, she uses her music, art and creativity to bypass the ‘tricky mind’ and get to the deep innate wisdom stored in our bodies throughout our many life experiences.
Most of all, we learn how and why Monique stopped protecting others, at her own expense, and stepped fully into her own glorious power, lighting the way for others to follow and integrate all the parts of themselves too.
