Girls Gone Woke: Recent Episodes
Monica & Claire
Hey! We're two girls who "woke up" to ourselves and started living more conscious, fulfilling lives. We want to share everything we've learned so far, so we can grow together to gain more meaning and happiness in our lives. We believe that by changing ourselves, we can change the world. Mindful, conscious people are the most effective agents of change. New episodes every Sunday. See you there!
It’s the little things in life that are actually the big things.
Life is made up of all these little moments that are strung together.
Some of them are beautiful beyond belief, some are heart wrenching, and some can feel mundane but together they make up this wild thing that we called life.
It can be so easy to try and zoom to the next extravagant moment to come but living like that - we miss out on those magic little pauses in time that make life and the human experience what it is.
SO…..with Thanksgiving among us - we thought what better time than now to discuss our little victories which can sometimes be easily bypassed.
It feels good to love on those small moments as they make us feel all the feeeeeels!
Come hang with us this Sunday, and please share your small victories with us, too!
They might be small, but they sure are mighty!

Today we are covering a few mindful conversation topics and they are both about...da da da daaaaaaaa ---- friendship.
We both ask each other these two Q’s:
What do we look for and need in our friendships? And how do we feel that we best offer love and support to our friendships?
After discussing, and basically professing our gratitude mixed with a slight co-dependency on our own friendship (slightly kidding) we realized that more than anything at this point in our lives it’s all about quality over quantity.
So come be our friend and hang with us this Sunday! We’d love to hear what your must haves are for the friendships in your life, and how you best bring your best self to the friendship table.
We are always learnin' over here, so we can’t wait to hear from you!

Do you ever let yourself sit in silence enough to actually listen to your own voice? Or do you lean into your vices out of avoidance and fear of your own inner dialogue and true feelings?
When listening to others, do you truly listen? Or do you instantly lose track in your own mind on how you’d like to respond?
Let me just say I’m virtually raising my hand in the air, and am definitely GUILTY of all the scenarios listed above. I’d also like to believe I’m not the only one.
After talking about this topic with Mon we learned that when it comes to listening, we can always improve. I think it’s also save to say when it comes to turning our gaze inward and listening to ourselves - it’s just as important if not MORE important than being a good listener to others.
So grab your coffee, tea, H20 or mimosa and come hang with us this Sunday!
We’re so curious - do you think of yourself as good listener to yourself and others?
Here's to a fab week ahead.

GGW
Let us just paint this picture for you…
It was Saturday night while filming..I had an old fashioned in hand...Mon was about to hit the town and let’s just say a new southern drawl may have made a surprise appearance.
Due to this, we decided to keep this episode short and insightful with just 2 simple, yet practical ways that we are going to commit to staying in the present moment this week.
We’re holding each other accountable to our “declarations” so join us if you just need a good laugh, or maybe even to make your own!
Here’s to a fab week of no more fake Southern Accents, and livin’ in the mother effing moment.

Please…bring..honor…to…YOURSELF
Any Disney movie aficionados out there?! That was supposed to be a play on the song from Mulan, “Bring honor to us all.” {Whoa..I’m feeling nostalgic already.}
Anyways…as amazing as it sounds to bring honor to us all…we wanted to focus on the importance of bringing honor to ourselves first. It’s crucial because if we are constantly putting others needs before our own, how are we supposed to properly honor those around us in the first place?
So come join us this Sunday as we talk about the different ways we work to try and honor ourselves each day!
And P.S.
Do something that fills your love tank this week - ain’t nobody got time to run on empty. Honoring yourself sounds glamorous and important because it truly is!

Whether you crawl, walk at a snail like pace, speed walk or freaking sprint...removing yourself from what's not serving you is a power move in the "advocating for yourself" department.
It's really one of the most important departments you can be apart of....it's exclusive, it's personal, and all jokes aside it really is everything.
Yes, sometimes walking away can be challenging {especially for people pleasers like our past selves} but what's even more challenging is moving through life without tools to make sure you are setting yourself up for true happiness.
So come hang with us this Sunday as we chat about our own experiences with this, and per usual - learn from each other in the process.

Self-care takes priority for us over at GGW.
With self-care comes all the fun goodies we swear by! Some are skincare related, some are items that help keep us in the present moment, and some…well you’ll just have to tune in to find out 😂
Join us this Sunday while I personally go and add alllll the items from Moni’s suggestions to my cart.
Here’s to a fun week ahead-

There is power in positivity.
There is something to be said about having a general positive outlook and how that relates to the trajectory of our happiness levels throughout our lifetime.
No, we aren’t talking about the dreaded topic of toxic positivity {we all have our shit} but rather an all encompassing optimistic approach when things don’t align the way we wish.
With this sense of optimism comes vitality, and with vitality comes peace, a childlike energy and a presence that helps to get us through those tougher times.
This is something we are working on everyday - personally, it’s something I need to work on all the time - but UGH it’s so important.
Tune in to hear our own journeys with maintaining, learning and prioritizing the power of positivity.
We really do all have the power…sometimes it just takes a bit to get there ⚡⚡⚡

GGW
It’s only fitting to keep this description short and sweet…as that is how are answers were supposed to be 😉
Join us this Sunday for our Rapid Fire 20 Questions {GGW Edition} to laugh with us, maybe at us, and to get to know us just a little bit better.
Here's to a fab week ahead!

GGW
What’s an emotion that’s just so unpleasant, so low on the frequency scale, and just SO toxic?
It’s called Shame…and it can be such a B.
The good news is though it can totally be released and turned into a positive!
Tune in this Sunday to hear how we release this icky feeling, and cultivate self-worth.
Xx,
GGW
What we consider success differers greatly, but for most of us…we have to have patience to get there.
I mean…is success really success if we freaking hate the ride to the top?
Is success really success if we treated people poorly along the way due to our own frustrations?
Is success really success if we felt miserable the whole time fighting the timeline and rushing through to the next moment without enjoying where we're at now?
To us, that's not.
Come join us as we talk about finding patience and learning to enjoy the “waiting rooms” of life. TRUST US…it’s hard for us too, but we’re working on in everyday!
Here’s to leaning into those waiting periods of our lives rather than fighting them while we absolutely CRUSH our goals and dreams.
We’re flowin’ with life today, so you should too!..Let’s see where it takes us?!

GGW
Relationships…
We all have our shiz…we all have our "things" that we carry into relationships with us but are you aware of them?
You could be biggest baddie on the planet, cook like freaking Gordon Ramsey, and scrub the floors like it’s nobody business but are you able to apologize if needed?
You could act as confident as Kanye West, run a pop culture empire like the Kardashians, or sing like freaking Beyonce but are you self-aware enough to know when you need to put in some work?
Lets just say sometimes acknowledging our weaknesses in relationships can be the hardest part, but it's so crucial.
Once we became more self-aware not only did we flourished alongside the right people, but we stopped looking for ourselves in other people {whoa is that a relief to say!}
Tune in this Sunday to hear Monny and I talk about how we try to not carry our own shiz into our own relationships & to just come hang with us!
Leave that baggage behind, Boo!
Xx,
GGW
We gotta say it louder for the people in the back. Manifest the shit out of your life.
The truth is you really have to believe that you have it all, you have to truly feel that you have it all, and you have to LIVE like you have it all.
It's interesting to think that every time you have a thought, that thoughts energy is sent out to the Universe and by the law called the Power of Attraction, the Universe has to respond in some way.
The issue is, are you open enough to be able to receive what is coming back to you without blocking it?
Tune in this Sunday to hear us talk about how we personally manifest our dreams, how we keep ourselves open enough to receiving what is coming back to us, and how we keep rockin' this thing called life.

GGW
When life gives you lemons…turn that shit into lemonade {and spike it if you need to 🍋😜}
But seriously, at the end of the day and as we go through our own seasons of life - we continuously find that everything is a lesson.
If anyone can attest to this mindset {especially after this past week 🤦♀️} it’s Monny.
Tune in this Sunday to hear how Mon was able to keep her inner peace after her HI experience & how we both cling to the notion that the universe is working for us, not against us....even if it doesn't always feel like it.
Here's to a little vodka-lemonade action, and a fab week ahead.
Sending love & 🍋🍋🍋

"We live on a planet that circles around a ball of fire next to a moon that moves the sea, and you don’t believe in miracles?”
This quote is so profound in that there are billions of galaxies which make up this universe that perhaps has an infinite number of other universes. MIND BLOWN.
This beautiful and vast notion puts everything into perspective for us! It is what inspired our topic for this week about paying attention to the universal signs and gifts around us, and trusting that there really is just SO much more to this life.
Take a listen, and don't forget to notice the beauty all around you this week, and always.
Xx,
GGW
Let your ego go, look at the situation you're in for what it is, and remember...nothing is personal.
We're realizing if we let external factors influence how we feel on the inside, we're putting the power in everyone else's hands but our own, and ain't nobody got time for that.
Tune in as we kept this episode true to our own life experiences this past week.
The beauty of it all is that we always connect back to our one true mission which is the continuation of waking the F up to ourselves.
Have a wonderful week, friends!
Xx
GGW
Take that sexy selfie for you, Boo!
That’s all I’m prefacing this episode with because it’s truly like a fun bestie coffee clutch where we talk about not giving a F, and truly loving ourselves exactly as we are
Can’t believe I just typed that as it’s taken years, and it’s still a journey!
Here’s to a fabulous Sunday, and embracing who we are throughout all of our chapters.
Xx,
GGW
Usually we like to have a game plan about what we chat about in our episodes - but this week we let the topics come to us!
It was natural, it was real, and it just felt so good to be transparent about where we're both at right now in our lives.
SO....if you're feelin' a little scared about your own future, not so certain you're in the right place, or would just like a little reminder that you're never alone - come hang with us this Sunday!
We swear we don't bite.

GGW
The C word…..
If you don’t know which word I’m talking about it..let me give you a hint. It rhymes with absolutely nothing, and turned our world upside and inside out last year.
The C word that I’m speaking of is COVID - and even though we are seemly on the other side, with the re-opening of society comes social gatherings, back to work {in person} memos, and a heightened sense of anxiety.
We want to hear, how are you coping?! Are you someone who will be right out on that wedding dance floor with no worries in the world, or are you have a little hesitation getting back into the swing of things?
Whether you’re feeling a anxious, excited or a little bit of both - we’re here for you, boo!
Tune in this Sunday if you need a little reminder of your own resilience and bad-assery
As always,

GGW
Compassion is truly a connector.
It’s something that binds us all during this human-experience.
It’s a glimpse inside what it’s like to feel what someone else is feeling.
It’s a chance to live inside someone else’s skin just for a moment.
It's something that ultimately, or at least we like to think - heals the world.
Above all else, we believe it’s gift. A gift that Mon and I both talk about having for others, but something we can struggle with towards ourselves!
Per usual we’re keeping it real over here, so come hang this Sunday with us!
Xx,
GGW
Healthy boundaries are considered “healthy” for a reason.
Whether it comes to relationships, work, or even just your own personal wants and needs - there are so many freaking benefits!
Tune in this Sunday to hear about Monny and I’s own journey with learning to set better boundaries for ourselves. Let’s just say one of us might be better with this than the other…can you take a guess?!

Happy Mother's Day to all the amazing Mom's, Grandmothers, Foster Mama's, Second Mom's and really all the badass women who help shape our lives for the better.
So today - we are honoring our own Mom's by sharing the best advice we have been given, in hopes it finds you, too!
We are keepin' this message short, and really sweet as we know today is different for everyone - so here's to celebrating in a way that feels right to you.
Sending you all big {virtual} hugs - and shouting from the rooftops a huge Happy Mother's Day to both of our Mama's whom we love SO much!

Solitude:the state or situation of being alone.
Is alone time something you value in your day? Or is it something you try and avoid at all cost?
Let me just say one of us basically rocks at taking time for herself, and the other one of us (cough cough, couldn’t be me?!) freaking runs from being alone….
Take a listen this Sunday to hear us talk about our own journeys with finding solitude in our lives, and the true importance of self-reflection.
P.S. Don’t forget to take some time for you today!

Healing from a breakup.
Okay can we all agree that a broken heart may be one of the most painful feelings in the world!?
Sometimes the cure is swan diving into your fav ice-cream, sometimes it may be crying off all of your good mascara to get it out of your system, and other times it may just be the most frustrating cure of them all….time.
Just know if this is you….we’ve been there. We’ve done that…and we see you.
If you need a little girl time, hang with us this Sunday as we talk about what helped us get through those tough times.
Got Your Back!

Let us ask you a few Q's!
Have you ever feared change because you couldn't anticipate the outcome of your next chapter?
Have you prioritized comfort time and time again over taking a chance which in turn left you feeling stuck?
Have you avoided change because you were just strait up scared to fail?
Well if you ask us, and many people in this big, beautiful world - they would probably say check, check, and check! The good news is the feeling of fear is universal to us all - it connects us in a weird way.
The big question though is how do you know when you're actually ready for a change, and how the heck do you get over that big F word?
You'll just have to tune into our episode this Sunday to find out! Here's to leaning into our fears to get us to something even greater.
Spread your wings, it's totally worth it {we promise} 🦋

Vision Boards - Basically like the modern day 90's inspired collages we grew up making.
The benefit? Not only are they creative, but they are great tools used to help us clarify, concentrate and keep our eyes on the prize on our goals.
Monny and I both talk about our top three items currently on ours, and whoa can we both attest to just how beneficial visualization is in both of our lives.
The best part of it all? They are always changing as our dreams, goals, and what we want to focus on evolve over time with us.
We're curious! Do you have a vision board? If so, what are your top three items on yours? We're dying to hear as we just think this topic is so fun.
Cheers to the nostalgia of the 90's, and visualizing ourselves livin' our best lives in 2021.

Advice.....
Sometimes it's asked for, sometimes it's not but WHOA can it influence our decision making skills, and even our life trajectory.
Just keepin' it real over here - we've both been given advice that has really just sucked. This advice we've found is typically unintentional, but it's still a little scary as it can hinder us from listening to our own gut feeling.
But like with anything, we've also been given some freaking GREAT advice that was not only profound, but unforgettable in that we both go back to it still to this day.
So if you're curious what the best advice we've ever received, and the worst - tune in this Sunday!
P.S. We also want to hear yours! You know the drill, let us know in the comments below.
Here's a virtual cheers to listening to your gut, and taking even the tiniest step forward in whatever direction feels right to you.

Are you looking for a nighttime routine that makes mornings suck a little less? We've got you covered...literally...in blankets, with the warmest lighting, and the ultimate sleepy vibes.
Okay, that was a lot..but we seriously are two people on an ideal night that love to wind down, wash off our day and in return - we sleep really well.
Whether you like to tuck in early like Mon, or are more of a night owl like Claire - it's not a one size fits all but we've found that having a bedtime routine is better than no routine at all for us.
So go ahead and take a listen! We'd also love to hear more about what your ideal nighttime routine looks like, or if you just prefer to fly by the seat of your jammies.
Sending you the light of the stars, and the comfort of the moon this Sunday!

Good Morning GGW Gang!
Whether you thrive in the morning, or avoid the a.m. at all cost - we wanted to share what our ideal morning routines look like & how much of a day maker having one is.
It's incredible what transpires when we honor ourselves by giving ourselves a little more time in the morning, and no matter what is thrown our way - life seems to feel a little more manageable.
We are also SO curious to hear what your mornings look like. Are you a breakfast eater? A caffeine addict? A wake up and go person? or do you like to take your time and ease into the day?
Let us know in the comments, and don't forget to take some time for you today!

With Social Media seeming to rule the world in 2021 and the controversy surrounding it - we thought it'd be fun to debunk a misconception that we think may surround our GGW name and mission.
It goes by the name of Toxic Positivity, and if you are unfamiliar with the term it is the belief that no matter how dire or difficult a situation is, people should maintain a positive mindset. This in turn can invalidate or minimize the authentic human emotional experience.
Let us just first scream from the rooftops for a moment that this definition is the furthest thing from our GGW truth.
We are here to meet your wherever you are in your life journey. We hope you leave listening to our Podcast or Instagram page feeling better than when you came, but we know healing takes time.
Feel ALL the feels, Boo! and tune in today to hear us debunk the myth that life isn't always rainbows, butterflies, and cocktails on the beach 😜

Self-Doubt - it’s something that hinders us, makes us feel alone, and prevents us from crushing that goal that is right within our reach.
Let us start out by saying that we have been TOTALLY been there and feel you if you are in a season of feeling this way. But let us also remind you of how freaking powerful, and capable you are of working past your fears to fully trusting yourself, and your abilities.
The real question is how do we get there and actually chuck self-doubt out the window?
Well, you'll just have to tune into GGW this Sunday to find out.
Here's to kindly telling self-doubt to get the F* out, and to making this week freaking rock.

Monny and I each share five products or items in our lives that never let us down.
Some are health related, some are beauty related, and some just make us freaking happy.
P.S. We'd love to know what your holy grail products are, too!
Drop them in the comments - we may just add them strait to our carts.

Cancel Culture; It’s controversial, it’s prevalent, and with social media usage at an all time high - it’s a hot topic.
We’ll start off by saying that racism, violence, or any discriminatory behavior will NEVER be condoned here on GGW.
We more-so question if “Cancel Culture” does more harm then good in the healing of our hurting society.
Is it possible that “Cancel Culture” really can be synonymous with healing, forgiveness, and growth? We personally don’t think so but we are always trying to learn, and better ourselves in this process of life.
We hope you enjoy this episode, and let us know what you think in the comments below!
Have an awesome week friends!

Be Your Own Damn Valentine!
It may be the holiday of "love" but there is nothing more important than being in love with yourself first before you seek out a relationship.
So spoil yourself with your favorite flowers, pick out your favorite treat, and know that by feeling complete within yourself first - you will attract exactly what you deserve for all the Valentine's Day's to come.
P.S. If you are feelin' a little lonely this Sunday - you can be our Valentine!
Sending endless amounts of love your way!

Personally, I think confidence is one of the sexiest traits one can have. But how is it obtained when it is something so deeply personal?
Like anything, we’ve learned it’s a process - especially living in a society that can make us question who we are on a second to second basis.
So if you take anything from this episode - please know that you are not alone if this has/still is a struggle for you! We are right there with you….BUT, always remember - you are uniquely, and beautifully YOU.
There is not one other single person on this planet filled with billions of people that is you and that is where your power lies. Hone in on your gifts that make you different, begin trusting yourself, and before you know it - you’ll start tackling those dreams that once seemed hard to grasp.
We hope you carry this belief with you always-
Xx,
GGW
Okay, we've all heard the sentiment "faith over fear" but damn it can be hard to put our money where our mouth is.
We talk about our wake up calls, how being more aware of our fears helps us to let them go, and what faith means to us.
This topic is such a beautiful, and abstract one because faith is so deeply personal to our lives, and individual stories. Just know whatever you believe in, or whatever brings purpose and fulfillment to your life - we are here for!
The game changer, and the common thread that we have come to the realize is that having faith for us is truly about trusting the process for our life, and whoa have we found comfort there.
Sending you deep breaths, and all the peace this Sunday as we navigate through all the ups and downs together.
P.S. we missed you!

Welcome Back!
Because we can’t physically go to a club, you’re invited to our ours virtually!
We talk more about our mediation practices and coping skills than cocktails and dancing on the bar…but we promise it’s still fun.
Did we just say that?!
Trust us when we say that you are not alone in feeling burnt out, anxious, and ready to feel a sense of normalcy. We're right there with you while we ride this out together.
Always remember, you are far more resilient than you can even imagine, but if you are just straight up having a tough time - we are here for you!
So grab your beverage of choice, and come hang with us!
Xx
GGW
You know what's freaking empowering to say?! That stress CAN be managed 🙌
Just like anyone, we both have our own shit but through the years have found tricks that help ease our minds, and ground us when we feel like we're spiraling.
Basically, this is just your daily reminder to take a big, deep breath!
Carry these tools with you, and remind yourself that's it's all gonna be okay!
So let's get cozy, and come hang with us- you got this, Boo!
Xx
GGW
So the big questions of the day are...da da da daaaa....
Are you actually doing something that makes you happy? or are you just doing what makes you feel accepted?
A certain job could seem idyllic on paper but how are you actually feeling inside? Is it fulfilling you?
Is a certain relationship lifting you up? Or is it draining you but you just love the idea of this person?
These are all questions we've both had to navigate and let us just say what a relief it was to be honest with ourselves. With that realization comes action, and with action comes true happiness.
We're covering it all this Sunday so get comfy - and join us for all the HAPPY vibes we are sending your way. We're seriously in this together, Gang!

The year of 2020 - One of the toughest years, but also the year the world woke up.
Tune in this Sunday to hear about our biggest lessons we've learned in 2020, and what we want to take with us into 2021.
Big or small, what is something that you are grateful for this past year? or what is something you are looking forward to in the year ahead?

First off, if you're new to our channel - Welcome to our cozy little space on the Internet.
We realized we have some new faces around here, so let us start out by saying - Hey, Boo!
We're two lifelong besties who are on a mission to live more presently, dig a little deeper and give this thing called life all we've got.
We've learned along the way that being a human-being can be messy, which is why at GGW we're here to uplift, keep it real, and share the knowledge we've learned on our own self-awareness journeys.
With that being said, join us this Sunday as we keep things light by playing a little fun "This or That" self-love edition.
Come often, and stay awhile because we absolutely LOVE having you here.
Here's to a kick ass week ahead, and a community that F*ing rocks.

Happy Holidays GGW Family!
There's a lot of added pressure during the holiday season for everyone to be happy. "It's the most wonderful time of the year!" And while for some this is true, it's definitely not the case for everyone, especially this year with all of the 2020 craziness.
Holidays equal family gatherings (or zoom calls 😅), and we all know, no ones family is perfect...even if it seems that way on the outside looking in, we ALL have our own shiz.
We talk about how to cope with difficult family members, to pressures with gift-giving, to learning how to accept people as they are.
So take a load off, give yourself a freaking break, and join us this Sunday!

Welcome Back!
I think we can all agree Nurses are the real MVPs, and this world would absolutely suck without their care, compassion, and selfless nature.
What Mon has witnessed and experienced is truly one of the backbones of why Girls Gone Woke came to be.
She covers how she learned to navigate juggling normal life vs life in the ER, working through a pandemic, burnout, and most importantly, coping strategies to make sure the trauma that she sees at work is handled in a manner that will allow her to let go of all that is taken on.
I am personally dealing with a chronic disease; Moni treats them, and after seeing so many traumatic situations in the ER, we realized it’s so much deeper than putting a bandaid over a wound.
It’s truly about getting to the root of the problem first.
If you know a nurse, or are a nurse - first of all thank you for all you do - we see you! Secondly, take a listen, and please share. Life is so much better when you know you’re not alone.
Did I say nurses freaking rock?! Or do nurses freaking ROCK.
Have a wonderful week going forward, friends!

In honor of #nationaldiabetesawarenessmonth this week Monny interviewed me on what my experience has been like living with Juvenile Diabetes.
Yes, we cover the #beteslife but we actually found that there are SO many parallels that could benefit you no matter where you are in your own life journey.
We talk about the ways in which we cope with our own struggles, and how we move through them when they come our way.
Whatever battle it is you are facing, we hope this episode meets you wherever you are, and reminds you that you are never alone.
We got you, boo!

Hey GGW friends!
Fears. We all have them, but it seems like this is a topic that we rarely talk about in terms of where they come from, or what we do to help cope with them.
It’s vulnerability at it’s deepest level as the root cause of fear are all feelings that we as human beings try and avoid, such as: loneliness, shame or lack of control.
We’re both getting up close and personal with our own fears, and hope that by talking about them - we can bring comfort to you.
Here’s to normalizing the vulnerability that comes with them, because whoa is that shit real.
Thanks again for hanging with us, and a big cheers for a new week ahead

Today we're talking about our favorite Happiness Phone Hacks 📱
It's so true...ain't nobody got time for relentless scrolling, unconscious use of social media, or feeling completely naked when you're without it for a hot minute.
TRUST US when we say these hacks are coming from two besties who are guilty of all thee above.
If we can do these living in the technological world that is 2020...anyone can.
Without further ado, we're bringing you realistic, yet fun hacks that we hope will bring happiness to you, too!
Here's to a kick ass week, with more intentional phone use ahead.

Welcome back to GGW, and whoa what a week it’s been!
There’s no better time than now to chat about what it’s like to be an empath during this rollercoaster ride of 2020.
We both know too well what it’s like to take on others energy as our own, to be a confidant to many, and to live in a world where others may deem us as “highly sensitive.”
Is this you, too? If so, welcome to one of the greatest gifts you can have, but it’s also a gift that requires self-reflection, the ability to let go, and the awareness to know when it's time to set some healthy boundaries.
We’re keeping this episode nice and light as we send all of our own healing energy your way. Trust us when we say after this long and emotional week these reminders may be just what you’re looking for.

Welcome back! Join us this Sunday as we share some more tidbits on how to get the f*ck out of unhealthy relationships.
We have had our fair share of unhealthy relationships in the past (clearly, as this relationship topic had to get divided up into three episodes 😅), so we thought we'd share some more tips we learned along the way to let go of the wrong guys. We cover how to let go of narcissists, lessons we learned, and how to start valuing yourself so you can attract better.
We truly hope you find the courage to let go of all toxic people in your life and know that you are worthy of people who uplift you and treat you right. Sending you love and happiness for today and this week ahead.
See you next Sunday!

This Sunday we are switching it up, and Claire is going to chat about her body acceptance journey.
Talk about another "vulnerably hangover," but we hope our stories meet you where you are in your own journey with body image, and that you take something positive from this episode and carry it with you always.
Remember: "Be easy. Take your time. You are coming home to yourself."

Well, here comes another vulnerability hangover! Per your request via our GGW Instagram poll - the topic of "Relationships" was the resounding winner.
Although we both have different relationship experiences, we have come to find a lot of the same truths and lessons 🙏
Moni will be covering the lessons she's learned this week, and I'll be chatting more next Sunday about my own personal experience.
We hope these resonate with you, too and meet you wherever you're at in your own personal journeys.
So here we go, and without further ado....No More F*ckboys!

Hey Gang!
We decided to switch things up a bit, and interview each other this time around for something fun & different.
Moni and I both talk about our personal experiences navigating through our perceptions that we acquired regarding our body image, and the thoughts and feelings that resulted from those perceptions throughout our lifetime thus far.
Let 's just say after filming this episode we experienced what Brené Brown would call a "vulnerability hangover" - whoa!
Well, it's true...we wouldn't want to do this with anyone else, so thanks for being here with us!
Here's Mon's story.

We realized that we have a lot more unpacking to do in terms of what we’ve both learned, so stay tuned for part three!
We’ll cover what we’ve gained from our exes, the importance of love languages, to how we found happiness where we are right now.
Sending you all the good vibes as we head into a new week, so with that being said - here’s to fostering kick-ass relationships.

Hey GGW gang!
We dive a little deeper on this episode, so if you're ready to get real and raw you're at the right place.
We both talk a little more personally about our experiences as to what got us to this point, and why we think it's so important to live a more conscious & fulfilling life.

Hey Gang!
We cover the "why" behind GGW's mission, how we came up with our name, and more importantly why we wanted to create this badass community focused on living more conscious and fulfilling lives.
P.S. You'll get to meet our new mascot, and basically therapy pup - Kip.
Disclaimer:
Trigger Warning (Moni is a Nurse, and went over an emotional experience she had in the ER pertaining to suicide.)
We are in no way, shape, or form "therapists" of any kind, we are along this journey of learning and growing - just as you are - so think of us more as besties going through this with you.
This is also our first zoom video chat, so hang in there with us while we figure this shiz out!
