Hey there! I'm Monette, and today on Mornings with Monette, I'm diving deep into something transformative - the incredible power of clarity.

Hey there! I want to share something powerful about why we give up on ourselves. It's not about lack of ability, but about losing connection with our true purpose. When we feel stuck, it often stems from three critical words: “I don't know”. These words paralyze us, shutting down our thinking and blocking our potential. But here's the game-changer: discovering your purpose isn't complicated - it's about answering one profound question: Where can I use my unique gifts and talents to bring value to others? This isn't just a question - it's a roadmap to reigniting your passion. When you align your core values, talents, and desire to serve, something magical happens. You stop seeing obstacles and start seeing opportunities. My four-step formula for breaking through: 1. Know what you stand for 2. Identify your unique gifts 3. Listen to your inner dreams 4. Find ways to contribute using those gifts Remember, giving up is never the answer. You are valuable. You have a purpose. And it's never too late to rediscover it. Let's make 2025 the year we stop saying “I don't know” and start saying “I'm ready!”
