We ​can ​never, ​never ​erase ​that ​context ​from ​the ​conversation. ​But what ​I ​want ​to ​speak ​about ​today ​is ​where ​you ​still ​have ​some ​agency ​and ​power. ​You ​still ​have ​quite ​a ​bit ​of ​agency ​and ​power to ​shift, ​to ​make ​a ​10x ​choice, ​to ​make ​a ​shift ​where ​you're ​not ​just ​doing ​a ​few ​things ​differently ​or ​trying ​to ​double ​your ​output ​in ​your ​doing, ​but ​that ​you ​get ​to ​become, ​that ​you ​shift ​the ​being ​of ​it ​all.”“The ​environment, ​the ​relationships, ​the ​structure,  the ​guidance--those ​things ​allow ​for ​a ​new ​self ​concept ​to ​emerge. ​It ​is ​one ​of ​the ​most ​powerful ​things ​that ​we ​can ​create ​space ​for ​in ​our ​lives. ​Because ​again, ​the ​situation ​that ​you ​are ​thinking ​about ​with ​what's ​the ​next ​phase ​of ​my ​career ​and ​how ​am ​I ​going ​to ​hold ​all ​of ​these ​things ​and ​what's ​going ​to ​happen ​with ​this ​or ​that? ​Like, ​those ​aren't ​the ​questions. ​The ​topic ​is ​not ​the ​topic. ​You ​are ​the ​topic. ​Okay. ​Who ​you ​consider ​yourself ​to ​be, ​how ​you ​self ​conceptualize, that ​is ​the ​topic ​at ​hand. ​That ​is ​how ​we ​can ​shift ​from 2x ​possibility, ​that's ​going ​to ​keep ​us ​overrun ​in ​old ​identities ​to ​a ​10x ​possibility ​because ​we've ​allowed ​ourselves ​to ​fundamentally ​change, ​to ​allow ​ourselves ​to ​fundamentally ​shift.”STAY IN TOUCHCome and follow me on Instagram @moniquershields and I would love your feedback so send an email to [email protected]. CLAIMED is a 6-month group coaching experience for Black mother in senior leadership ready to stop performing and start becoming.

  • 58 | What Got Me Here: The Real ROI (And Real Costs) Of My Self-Investment Journey
    Text Monique directly! Share thoughts, feels or feedback! In this deeply personal episode, Monique shares the behind-the-scenes story of her biggest self-investments—from surprise trips and $15K coaching programs to community spaces that changed everything. She walks us through the fears, mindset shifts, and identity upgrades that come with choosing yourself.As busy ambitious women, we don't have time to piece together every self-help book and DIY our way to transformation. You don’t have to do this alone. Monique is spilling all the tea as she discusses the financial aspects of her investments, the importance of mentorship, and the invaluable lessons learned along the way. This conversation is your reminder that betting on yourself isn’t just bold—it’s necessary. GEMS DROPPED“I ​want ​to ​be ​a ​solution ​to ​isolation. Self-investment ​is ​one ​less ​thing ​that ​you ​need ​to ​figure ​out ​and ​DIY—to let someone else hold you. This ​is ​how ​I ​have ​been ​held ​and ​continue ​to ​find ​ways ​to ​make ​sure ​that ​I ​am ​held, ​and ​I'm ​making ​sure ​that ​I ​take ​my ​skills ​and ​offer ​it ​to y'all.”“​I ​have a ​firm ​belief that if you are not willing to invest in the thing that you are offering to other people—then what are you doing in that profession?"“​The networks we were building a decade ago may not serve the vision we’re trying to live out now. ​It's ​a ​lot ​more ​efficient ​​and ​it's ​a ​lot ​more ​effective to ​be ​in ​community ​with, ​​in ​council ​with ​someone ​or ​some ​group ​that ​gets ​it, ​that ​is ​trying ​to ​do ​the ​same ​or ​very ​similar ​things ​that ​you ​are ​trying ​to ​do.”“​I ​know ​many ​of ​y'all ​listening ​are ​good ​students. ​You're ​like, ‘​I ​can ​learn ​anything. You ​can ​put ​me ​in ​front ​of ​a ​stack ​of ​books, ​baby, and ​I ​will ​read ​the ​research ​papers. ​I ​will ​watch ​all ​the ​videos ​and ​the ​documentaries. ​I ​know ​how ​to ​learn ​things’. ​It ​is ​not ​the ​same ​thing ​as ​forming ​a ​whole new ​self -concept.​ That ​requires ​relationship, that ​requires ​a ​new ​environment, it ​requires ​challenging ​limiting ​beliefs ​and ​somebody ​that ​can ​help ​you ​see ​your ​blind ​spots. ​If ​you ​want ​to ​do ​that ​with ​speed ​and ​not ​isolated, ​​it's ​available ​to ​you.”STAY IN TOUCHCome and follow me on Instagram @moniquershields and I would love your feedback so send an email to [email protected] is a 6-month group coaching experience for Black mother in senior leadership ready to stop performing and start becoming.

  • 57 | The Less I Do The More I Get Done: Finding Rest As We Work
    Text Monique directly! Share thoughts, feels or feedback! Are you feeling overwhelmed and overworked? In our latest episode, Monique explores the transformative power of rest and how it can revolutionize your productivity.Drawing inspiration from a recent gathering of high-achieving Black women, she addresses the overwhelming exhaustion that often accompanies leadership roles, motherhood, and societal pressures. Monique also introduces seven actionable steps to help us combat overwhelm and create meaningful space in our lives. From fostering community support to establishing clear priorities and making time visible, she provides a roadmap for reclaiming control over our schedules.Tune in now to discover how rest can be your greatest ally in achieving your goals!GEMS DROPPED"We ​point ​to ​time ​management ​just ​because ​it ​is a ​buzz ​phrase for when things start to feel out of whack, when your focus is too scattered and spread. You look back over a day or a month and think: I was busy and ​I ​know ​I ​got ​some ​things ​done, but what just happened? And ​why ​do ​I ​feel ​like ​nothing ​is ​getting ​done although ​I'm ​doing ​all ​of ​the ​things? What ​this ​actually ​ends ​up ​boiling ​down ​to ​is ​less ​about ​time ​management and ​more ​about ​the ​courage ​to ​actually ​stop ​everything. An ​aggressive ​stop can feel impossible. It can feel indulgent.”"With growth comes breaking. When something new is born, something else has to die. ​And ​taking ​account ​of ​that ​and ​anticipating ​it ​ahead ​of ​time, ​before ​you're ​too ​broken ​to ​pull ​yourself ​back ​together. ​That's a ​tough ​practice."“For ​my women ​of ​color ​and ​moms, ​the ​courage ​​to ​stop ​everything ​feels ​like ​we're ​taking ​something ​away ​from ​someone ​else. ​To ​stop ​for ​ourselves ​feels ​like ​theft. ​To rest can feel spoiled, privileged, or entitled—but that belief is cultural conditioning. We’ve been trained to demonize the part of us that wants to rest, that needs a break. If you're not producing, then who are you? What are you worth? That lie holds us back. What ​I've ​discovered is the less I do, the more I get done. And ​I ​want ​to ​offer ​that ​to ​you ​today. ​The ​less ​you ​do,  ​the ​more ​you ​can ​get ​done. ​”“Stopping for yourself is not selfish—it’s strategy. Build a practice that includes rest, not as a reward, but as part of the process."“​When ​we ​give ​ourselves ​away, ​we ​give ​our ​energy ​and ​our ​time ​away ​for ​other ​people ​to ​control, ​for ​other ​people ​to ​tell ​us ​what ​we ​can ​and ​should ​do ​with ​our ​time ​and ​our ​energy. There's a ​cost. And ​you're ​probably ​suffering ​that ​cost ​if ​this ​is ​the ​existence ​that ​you're ​in ​right ​now ​where ​you're ​not ​creating ​aggressive ​space ​for ​yourself.”“Whether ​you ​work ​for ​yourself ​or ​you ​work ​for ​someone ​else, ​​it's ​incredibly ​important ​to ​create ​sacred ​space ​for ​yourself and ​to ​do ​so ​as ​aggressively ​as ​you ​possibly ​can ​​and ​to ​hold ​it ​​firm. ​Do ​not ​let ​others ​in. Not ​only ​can ​you ​not ​let ​other ​people ​onto ​your ​calendar, ​you ​can't ​let ​your ​little ​productivity ​self ​in ​either. Focus ​on ​what ​you ​need ​and ​what ​those ​priorities ​are ​and ​let ​it ​flow.”STAY IN TOUCHCome and follow me on CLAIMED is a 6-month group coaching experience for Black mother in senior leadership ready to stop performing and start becoming.

    Text Monique directly! Share thoughts, feels or feedback! Motherhood is a transformative journey that ambitious women in leadership find themselves contemplating.

That's ​part ​of what ​living an expansive ​and ​ambitious ​life ​will ​bring. ​You ​have ​to ​constantly ​be ​open ​to ​change, but ​there's ​a ​deeper ​thing ​that ​happens ​when ​we ​become ​responsible ​for ​other ​human ​lives.. It's ​a ​starker ​shift. So being afraid ​of ​what's ​going ​to change ​for ​you makes ​a ​lot ​of ​sense.”“The ​version ​of ​you ​that ​you're ​about ​to ​get ​introduced ​to through motherhood, ​you ​can't ​really ​anticipate ​what ​she's ​gonna ​look ​like. You don't ​know ​who you're about to ​encounter and ​that is ​scary ​because you're like, ​can ​I ​count ​on ​her ​to ​still ​push ​forward ​my ​goals?”“Take ​a ​moment ​to​ ask ​yourself the ​why ​behind the ​concern​ for becoming a parent ​for you ​in ​particular. This​ ​is ​really, ​really ​important. It's ​actually ​pretty ​critical ​to understand ​what ​is ​driving ​that ​fear ​for ​you.”“As ​a ​leader, ​part ​of ​what ​I ​know ​my ​clients ​will ​get ​caught ​up ​in ​is hiding ​their ​motherhood ​identity ​or ​trying ​to ​minimize ​it. ​Trying ​to ​make ​themselves as low ​maintenance ​as ​possible. ​We ​need ​to ​release ​this ​low ​maintenance ​identity. ​This ​is ​the ​time, if ​there ​were ​ever ​a ​time, ​babes, ​for ​you ​to ​step ​into ​your ​high ​maintenance ​era. ​Becoming ​a ​mother, while ​leading ​big ​things is ​the ​time… ​I ​want ​you ​to ​give ​yourself ​full ​permission ​to ​embrace ​your CLAIMED is a 6-month group coaching experience for Black mother in senior leadership ready to stop performing and start becoming.

What ​did ​I ​learn? ​What ​do ​I ​need ​to ​let ​go ​of? What ​were ​some ​of ​the ​strengths ​and ​the ​weaknesses ​of ​that ​season? ​What ​were ​the ​lessons? ​And ​now ​I ​get ​to ​take ​stock ​of ​what ​in ​me ​has ​changed ​and ​what ​that means ​for ​my ​future. ​It's ​not ​like ​the ​analytical ​sort ​of ​assessing ​and ​processing, it's ​something ​that ​has ​the ​fundamental ​elements ​of ​who ​I ​am.”“The ​concept ​of ​being ​low ​maintenance, ​it's ​really ​a ​special designation ​that's ​reserved ​only ​for ​women. ​It ​was ​designed ​to ​keep ​women ​mentally ​busy ​with ​this ​impossible ​sort ​of ​dance ​and ​not ​having ​needs.
