I definitely noticed you look/feel better in your skin - and just overall - so keep doing what you’re doing; you’re “finding yourself” and feeling more and more comfortable, it seems 🙂☀️☀️☀️
I know that depression can be different for everyone and on some days I absolutely don’t feel like doing my makeup but sometimes it helps in order to not lay back into bed. I find myself struggling with coming up with motivation for those things but it always helps me to watch grwm videos on RU-vid
I’m so ready for July 👏🏻! I forgot to mention I’m doing dry July where I’m not drinking ❤️ share one goal or intention you have for the month of July ⛱️🕶️
This video came at perfect timing! I recently reviewed my own finances last week and we should be doing that regularly to stay on track, you'll be surprised at where your money is really going and now at almost 30, I'm just focused on managing debt and saving more for the future. But you don't know where you are until you force yourself to look at your bank account lol
That’s so funny… 3 yrs as a therapist and I’ve never asked someone what makes them unhappy, just what makes them happy. It also has me checking in with myself, thank you!
Hi Vanshika! I have podcast episode on how to put self-love into practice here: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/how-to-put-self-love-into-action/id1459770612?i=1000488566443 Hope this helps!
Ah so glad I found you! I am also a therapist and content creator. I started a book club with my therapist friends and we meet for the first time in July. We have so much in common I would love to be your friend too!! 🥰
This was so helpful. I make 10 times the money I made a year ago, and even though I've saved a lot and don't have debt, I still spend 90% of what I earn on shopping. It's like my mind tries to find where there are "gaps" like if I supposedly need something to decorate my living room, or new athleisure, or a new bracelet because my arm is looking empty, and stupid things like that to justify my spending. I also hide all the packages I get on the mail. I will throw the boxes away before my partner will see them... Just this month I was feeling like I had "extra" money because I got paid a little bit more than I usually get paid, and I decided to buy a Cartier watch right then and there. I didn't even had a Cartier watch on my wishlist or anything. 🥵 It was really eye-opening hearing someone speak about how you can have a shopping addiction without having debt. I was always justifying my shopping habits because I have enough money to live and save. But still spending thousands of dollars every month on STUFF is so stupid. I need to stop.
I have throughly been enjoying your videos and love the content you put out. I discovered you through the Hustle Sanely BFFs (OG here, lol) and I’m so glad I did. I love how authentic and down to earth you are in your videos. I look forward to getting the notifications that you have a new video out! Sidenote: I just finished my LPC candidacy in Oklahoma and will be officially licensed today!
It is on of the best Video that you have made. It really inspires me to do my midyear check-in i don't often coment on youtobe, and I have been watching you journay since start of this year, and i see that i was worth it to subscribe. I love seeing you accomplishing your goals from the begingin. in the same time as i do it. I had a bit of hard time this couple weeks accomplishing some of my goals but I'm back on track, I think rn is the best time to do check in with my long term goals, and do a vison board. ps english is not my first language
This made my whole entire day! Thank you so much for commenting! I hope your mid-year check-in goes well for you! Remember consistency is key 🤗 It's OK if your goals fall off as long as you get back on track with those that align with you! Let me know how the vision board goes for you! Wishing you all the best!
@@cafewithmonicaFrom my reflections, I realized that I need to give myself more time to rest, both after work and throughout the day. I was surprised to see that my goals were very general and descriptive. I feel like I'm getting closer and closer to accomplishing them, as they focus on my mental health, taking breaks, and reducing my screen time. The other goals that I think about more often are writing a book and learning English. I have been putting a lot of pressure on myself, expecting myself to not use my phone and to just follow my evening routine. I hope that at the end of the year, I will be able to tell you how it went.
@@pawe7315 I always tell my clients instead of telling yourself not to do something like be on our phone tell yourself what you are going to do instead because our brain just naturally wants to rebel and do the thing we don't want it to do! hope that piece of advice helps. It looks like you are killing it and being mindful of your goals some days are going to be days we do our best and others we may not do so well and its okay as long as we can jump right back at it the following day.
I do spin class and I enjoy it, but I want to try reformer Pilates soon. For spin I usually just take what I want from the instructor’s suggestions and leave the rest, it makes it a more enjoyable experience for me!
Ooh that sounds fun! Let me know if you try out Pilates! Would love to know if you end up liking it or not 🤗 Also listening to your instructor AND your body is so important!
Yes! Let me know what you think of the pancakes 😊 Being a few days removed now, I've been feeling SO grateful for this event! I had the best time and loved getting to meet other Dallas creators! I hope there will be more events in the future that I can share with you!
You are not alone! As a recovering perfectionist, I relate to this too! The good thing is you can be aware of these habits and tendencies now. You've got this!
Love the vlogs Monica! I’m a Registered Dietitian in private practice, so your content is so relatable! I usually wear scrubs, but this video really inspired me to explore my office style..
Loved this video Monica! I’m feeling so inspired to create some new outfits that are currently in my closet. I’m totally feeling the coastal grandma vibes this summer 😂 ALSO was so happy for you when I saw the rain on Thursday! Your office on Tuesday had me stressed out for you! Loved this style of video!
Fellow therapist here, I started my Invisalign in January to correct my bite too! 🥰I had the lisp too. My solution was to take out the top one during sessions and I leave the bottom. Then I pop the top one back in between sessions. I know it’s not the recommend time. But this works for me.
Loved this style of video Monica! Enjoyed seeing your work week and your outfits! Simple yet cute. 😊 Rooting for you to get the Rare Beauty partnership ✨🤞🏽
Omg I listen to this podcast and while listening I’m going to my eBay list and click buy for all the things that is sitting in my cart! What is this?! It’s not working 😅
As a school psychologist who has her own trauma I started EMDR about 6 months ago and it has been life changing. Thanks for providing this video so that I am able to share it with families that I work with that I feel their child would benefit from a different approach than talk therapy.
I am so happy to hear this Nicole! And, I'm glad our conversation is one that you feel comfortable sharing! We appreciate you listening in and wish you all the best 💛
Hi Monica, I am curious, what else did you do when you switched from Vocational Rehab to Mental Health counseling? I am finishing up my program next year and I leaning towards more mental health but I also am still very committed to Vocational Rehab. Would love to hear your advice :D
During my grad school, I did do some classes in the mental health counseling degree because there were classes that were not offered with my rehab counseling degree at the time. The only other thing I did is pursue my lpc license and got a lpcs that could approve my hours at my job. I did vocational rehab for the state for two years and that’s how most of lpc hours were obtained because I had a lot of 1 on 1 client time. Hope that helps I do have a video on how to become a therapist were I may have given more tips ❤️
@@cafewithmonica Thank you so much! :) I know in 2022 when the program got re-evaluated to include mental health classes as part of the Rehab program, the school opted out of it. I will definitely look into this :)
