Today I was on a call with one of my amazing clients and the theme of receiving came up, my client was struggling with what she was receiving and actually found it very uncomfortable to be receiving from the people in her life. She was in unknown territory, over-giving, people-pleasing, and self-sacrificing for much of her life, receiving felt incredibly foreign and like unknown territory and this was scary for her. This has also been a HUGE part of my own journey, expanding my capacity to receive has been a windy road, a dance, a journey. I have learned that over-giving, people-pleasing, and self-sacrificing actually benefits us in many ways, and it also hinders us in many ways, as well as the people around us. It's often a conditioned response, passed down through the generations, young girls are often praised and encouraged to be over-giving, people-pleasing and self-sacrificing. But this actually doesn't serve the highest good of yourself or those around you, for when your cup is full and abundantly overflowing you actually have so much more to give and share with the world and from a place of love rather than depletion, resentment and burnout. In this episode, we explore the journey of giving and receiving, of stepping into your feminine energy and receptive state, how to do this and how to honour the process by meeting your edge, your capacity and hoonrouing your "no" when you've hit your capacity.  I guide you through powerful journal prompts and self-inquiry questions to help guide you deeper into your own relationship with giving and receiving so that you can make the unconscious conscious and choose what you desire to do moving forth. Do you want to continue over-giving or shift into receiving and expand your capacity to receive? There is no wrong choice, simply a choice to be made. I would love to hear your feedback, what resonated for you and what you will be implementing moving forth. If you desire to work more deeply together, send me an email or DM me on socials, you're also welcome to book a complimentary discovery call to explore how we can journey more deeply together. The Deeply Connected Couples Program begins this Saturday, June 1st, and will include my Confidence To Express Program, valued at $777, for free when you join by Friday, May 31st.   Book a call here ___ Next steps: 1.

Today I am joined by the beautiful Christianna, Conscious Relationships Coach, I have personally journeyed with this amazing woman alongside my incredible partner, Liam. We have been receiving couples coaching for the past few months and have experienced incredible shifts in our relationship through expanding our awareness and understanding for one another. I am so inspired by couples work and supporting other couples through the journey to deeper understanding, connection and intimacy. I desire for more people to experience the magic of this work so they too can thrive in their life and relationships. In this conversation we explore how essential it is to address core wounds and do the deep healing work for ourselves and together as a couple and how this impacts our parenting as well.  We explore the journey of this work, the dance of partnership and how to support one another, to become a true partnership, to meet each others needs, honour each others needs, and deepen connection. I am so excited to share this conversation with you and look forward to hearing from you, what resonated and what you're taking away from this.

A conversation about cultivating the feeling of being supported in your relationship and by life. In my first birth experience I felt so unsupported and this led to deep resentment toward my partner and caused us to become increasingly disconnected from one another. Through healing the core wounds and addressing the experience I had in my first birth, as well as learning to get clarity of my needs and to express those needs I have been able to shift the experience from being unsupported to feeling incredibly supported within myself, within my relationship and by life itself. I now have a very different experience in my relationship and feel like I'm living in a completely different reality, one where I feel connected, supported, and profoundly happy, a happiness that I have never experienced before and I desire for more people to experience this for themselves.   If you desire to take this conversation deeper, I invite you to join me for Deeply Connected Couples, a brand new program starting June 1st.

What an incredible journey, over the past 4 months I have had the privilege of working with this beautiful woman supporting her to come home to her authentic self through healing her inner child, releasing people-pleasing tendencies, and supporting her in reclaiming her power. Becs went through many transformations through this potent time of transition, shedding, awakening, self-discovery and rebirth and I can't wait to share her journey and experience with you. Becs has been a private 1:1 client of mine over the past 4 months, she also joined me for The Sacred Art of Loving Yourself, my signature program, as well as my Goddess Awakening 21-Day Program, Deep Pleasure, & Confidence To Express. Her commitment to this work really shines through and shows us just how much is possible when we commit to showing up for ourselves.

Recently I held a conversation on Inner Child Healing & Conscious Relationships (LISTEN TO IT HERE) and I received the question “How do I trust a man and create safe, conscious love” and I felt called to speak to this topic directly as it is something I have been meaning to speak to for some time as it has been coming up a lot in feedback I have received from people who have opted in for my free ebook, Regulate (Get Your Copy Here). It’s also an area I struggled with for many years and has been a fascinating journey uncovering where this stems from, the root cause of this pattern, the fears, conditioning and beliefs and liberating myself from this protection. Yes… Protection. That is what we are doing here. When we don’t feel safe, we protect and we do this in a number of ways that may not make logical sense to our present self but it’s a pattern that was developed earlier on in life that has been practiced over years and decades, strengthening this pattern, making it harder to shift it and let love in. In today's episode, I expand upon my recent blog post, How do I trust a man and create safe, conscious love?, trusting another requires you to trust yourself and be able to discern who is trustworthy to you, it requires you to work through what at the root of this challenge, what is preventing you from trusting, and it will require you to come into self-honouring and self-expression. In order for the parts of you that are not allowing you to trust, let love in and create conscious love, to stop hijacking the system and allow you to have the relationship you desire, they must feel safe and in order to feel safe they must be able to trust you and feel safe within you, to know that YOU have got their back. If you resonate with this conversation and with what I share on this podcast, I invite you to join me for 12 weeks inside The Sacred Art of Loving Yourself where I will support you more deeply in putting what we explore in this podcast into practice so you can have the life and relationships you deeply desire.   Learn more about The Sacred Art of Loving Yourself here Submit Your Questions to me at info@moniquecarmela.com   Much Love ❤️

Today I am joined by Rashmi from @themindsolace and delve into the realms of self-love and rebuilding your relationship with yourself.  I often say "You are the one you are doing life with" and you must honor that relationship, prioritize your needs, and fill up your cup in order to abundantly give and support your loved ones and your community. You cannot give from an empty cup, this leads to burnout, exhaustion, resentment, stress, dis-ease, and often the breakdown of our relationships. By taking care of you, you will be much better equipped to support others. In this conversation, we explore this concept and so much more, we go into why self-love and filling up your cup is so important and how it will actually benefit those around you. We also go into the importance of setting boundaries, and how this will also benefit not only you but those around you. You become a walking permission slip for others to love themselves, meet their own needs, set boundaries, and become self-responsible. When we are constantly giving and prioritizing the needs of others, we are actually disempowering ourselves and them.    This episode supports you in shifting your mindset and opening the pathway to self-love, self-honoring, and self-respect that will support you in bringing more ease, harmony, and connection into your life and relationships. We offer a variety of tips and resources to support you on your journey as well.   Ready to journey together more deeply and take the next step on your self-love journey???

In today's conversation Amberlee and I explore how our childhood experiences and relationships with our original caregivers can impact our current relationships and ways of relating. There is often deeply ingrained conditioning that many of us hold around what it means to be a man, a woman, a mother, and other labels we put on ourselves or others put on us. Often we see the man as the savior, the breadwinner or provider, the handyman, and there are roles and responsibilities that are put on the man. There's often the saying that goes "Be a man" or "Man up" which puts men into a box and suppresses different parts of them, and can also be incredibly emasculating, causing them to feel less than or not good enough if they don't meet the expectations of what it means to be a man. For women, often there is the conditioning around being the homemaker, people pleasing, self-sacrificing, over-giving, putting everyone else first, her needs come last or not at all, she's only to speak when spoken to, be the good girl, the nice girl, stay inside the lines. There are also roles and responsibilities, like cooking and cleaning, meeting the man's sexual needs. And this all comes not only from what was mirrored to us in childhood from our caregivers, but society as well. We can become incredibly lost and confused and wonder who am I. It significantly impacts our relationships and you may find yourself unhappy or unsatisfied in your relationship, or a lot of conflict arising. In this conversation we explore all of this and so much more with the intention to support you in creating new ways of relating, connecting and being in harmony in your relationship. Discovering what works for you, what kind of relationship you desire and how to create that. How to get your needs met and not necessarily by your partner but by you. A truly powerful conversation, inspired by our own personal journeys.   We would LOVE to hear your feedback, what resonates, and any questions you have or areas you would like us to delve deeper into. We will also be opening the conversation inside The Woman Ascending Facebook Group to explore this conversation more deeply.   Ready to delve deeper into this conversation, strengthen your self-confidence, expand your ability to express yourself, meet your own needs, set boundaries and honor your YES and your NO??? To LIBERATE your expression, shift your self-talk, and consciously create the life and relationships you desire...

"Human Design is your unique energetic blueprint. Consider it like the user manual for your soul. Human Design gives us a permission slip to be completely ourselves, trust in our way and deeply understand what we’re here for. It illuminates our strengths, gifts, wisdom and purpose. It shows us how we are here to move through the world and what we came to contribute. And in a world that is constantly trying to tell us how to be - it allows you to be fully seen, understood and feel empowered in your uniqueness." - Kirsten Morrison   I discovered Human Design in 2020 and it absolutely blew my mind but I felt resistance to delve deeper and it was soon put on the back burner. I rediscovered Human Design later in the year where I began delving a little deeper and following different people like Kirsten to learn more. But it was last year that Human Design really leaped out at me and I knew I had to jump in. Human Design for me is one of the BIGGEST permission slip to be yourself and come back to self-honouring and living in alignment. It is the manual for living authentically, unapologetically and in alignment with who you truly are. When you live in alignment it is of the greatest service to yourself and all of those around you as well, you become the walking permission slip for others to also live in alignment and together we rise and thrive, cheering each other on along the way. In today's episode, I am joined by Human Design Mentor, Kirsten Morrison, who shares with us an overview of what Human Design is, the 5 energy types and we also delve into the emotional authority and how to ride the waves of our emotions. A potent conversation that I am so excited to share with you. Since the end of last year I began including a Human Design Reading with all of my 1:1 Coaching Packages as I believe this is essential to living in alignment and thriving in all areas of life which is what I am here to support you with.

The intention of this mini-series is to shift self-talk and feel confident and empowered to be our authentic selves, to liberate the voice and experience the power of your voice   Part 1: where focus goes energy flows. The impact of self-criticism, and the power of your voice/self-talk. you are creating your reality every moment, the way you speak, what you say out loud and silently in your mind if you are criticising yourself and putting yourself down you are creating more of that experience, you will see more and more evidence to validate these beliefs about yourself you may experience anxiety around others thinking/saying these things about you You may experience waves of depression, numbing out, disassociating and distracting yourself, just getting through life You are missing out on the beauty and magic of this life experience To create the life and relationships you deeply desire, to experience abundance, love, joy, connection, fulfillment, excitement, and all the goodness, you gotta go within and address what’s holding you back, what's keeping you in patterns of negative self-talk and disconnection but you must also expand your capacity to be in the goodness. In order to live the life we desire we must become aware of how we are speaking to ourselves and others and where this stems from…   But don’t just bypass through positive self-talk/affirmations, do the inner work required to integrate the parts of you that believe the criticism otherwise you’re just sweeping stuff under the rug and your life won’t change in the way you desire.   Another piece to the puzzle is expanding your capacity to be in the goodness, if negativity and criticism is your familiar, jumping to positivity and self-love will feel like a leap and you’ll find yourself reverting back to old ways leading to feelings of defeat and disappointment…   it’s about pendulating and meeting and honouring what is present without buying into it as being the absolute truth.   Join The Woman Ascending Facebook Community to get access to video replays, homeplay journal prompts and so much more!!! ______   Ready to delve deeper so that you can anchor into your pleasure, live in your joy, and become MAGNETIC for the life and experiences you deeply desire???

"Life is about the journey, not the destination" We can often get so caught up in what we don't have, where we aren't, what we have NOT achieved, and what's lacking in ourselves and our lives that we completely miss the beauty, abundance, and magic that's all around us, all of the time. In this potent conversation with @iamdashabarsukova we go deeeep into understanding what is keeping people stuck in scarcity and blocking them from experiencing the abundance that is available to all of us right here, right now. Awareness is the gateway to your transformation and by bringing awareness to what you're experiencing and what is creating that experience you have the opportunity to reclaim your power, to shift your experience, and consciously create more of what you want. But it's not just about getting what you want, it's not about trying to control life or force things to happen in a certain way. For me, it's about bringing more joy, playfulness, and compassion into your human experience. It's about embracing it all, loving it all, loving the journey, and how it all divinely unfolds...

In 2019 I attended the BBTRS Breathwork Facilitator Training, where I met Matthew Bruce, we partnered together for our first and last session of the training and it was a truly profound and deeply healing experience. This training took me on a journey of healing from a traumatic sexual experience, finding my NO, and liberating my voice. In today's episode, I am joined by Matthew and we speak more about the experience we shared together and how it has led to what we share with the world today. We also explore how trauma, conditioning, and childhood patterning impact our lives, relationships, sexuality, intimacy, and ability to bond and connect. Through breathwork, somatic healing, and self-sourcing intimacy we can liberate ourselves from our past and repattern our nervous systems, brain, and DNA so that we can align to the life and relationships we deeply desire so that we can experience deep love, connection, and intimacy.

Today I am joined by Phoebe Hart for a powerful conversation on the importance of rest and the different types of rest. The 7 types of rest, researched and defined by Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith, physician, researcher, and author, are physical, mental, sensory, creative, emotional, social, and spiritual. Pheobe also mentions an 8th type that she discovered which is sexual rest. We explore the different types of rest more deeply in this episode, why it's important, and how to tune into your body to become aware of what type of rest you need and how to meet that need so that you can have more balance, peace, and ease in your nervous system and your life. There is so much conditioning that keeps us busy, overwhelmed, stressed, and burnt out. So many people are constantly trying to tackle a never-ending to-do list, chasing their tails and stressing out leading to further pain, suffering, and illness. By learning how to slow down, tune into your body, and make rest a priority you will be able to cultivate more balance, ease, and harmony in your life, allowing you to enjoy your life more and thrive in all areas of your life and relationships.

Today I am joined by Female Sexuality & Manifestation Coach, Jannine MacKinnon for a deep conversation about the incredible impacts of cultivating a self-pleasure practice. Self-pleasure isn't just about sexual pleasure or another way to say masturbation...

When you prioritize yourself, your needs, and your pleasure you open yourself up to a whole new world. It impacts all areas of your life in the most beautiful way.
