You’ve been asking for an update on Monica’s life as a new mum, so here it is, unfiltered! In this episode, she shares exactly how she approached transitioning her 11-month-old son away from co-sleeping, how sleep deprivation forced a major shift in how she runs her business, and what she’s been doing postpartum to feel hot in a bikini again.

What’s inside:

🍋 The mom-on-mom judgment around sleep choices 🍋 Why babies can't actually self-soothe—and what really happens when they "cry it out" 🍋 The exact method she used to get her son to sleep better on his own 🍋 The mindset shift that made the new sleeping routine sti 🍋 Why nervous system regulation kept her from spiraling during the hard moments 🍋 How she called in extra support for herself during this sleep transition 🍋 Exactly what she’s doing to feel like a hot mum (hint: the energetic piece is key!) 🍋 Why energetic alignment does more for your postpartum body than any diet or exercise routine
