Seek an elite community And I am going to share my insights from watching my wife, Monique DeBose create exponential success in her life as a performer.

Today's woman was born to a black father and a white mother. Both her parents were well educated and they in turn had high expectations for her. She went to college and earned a degree in applied mathematics. But as her career took shape, she felt she didn't quite fit in anywhere. So after a year, she left the career her college degree had prepared her for and decided to pursue the arts. Jazz singing was where things felt right and she knew her voice and intelligence would lead the way. She joined a band and wrote her own songs. She won awards and became known in the music world for helping women choose more for themselves through music. Today, she performs, coaches and shows women leaders of all colors and ages how to choose more for themselves. It is my pleasure to introduce you to Monique DeBose.

Monique DeBose is a transformational entertainer. What's that, you ask? Well, she writes music, plays, and creates courses for women that change lives. I daresay she'll have that effect on you in this podcast episode too. We meander into all kinds of provocative places as we unpack how Monique's good girl conditioning has infiltrated her life, right down to what she thinks about going into a store, to how she mothers her sons. She shares generously about her own experience, as a woman of color, of how she's moving out of good girl, and into sovereign woman. How? Monique is a big believer in finding a safe, supportive community during your transformative process. She also gives us a powerful exercise to start clearing our “want” and “desire” pipes. The flow in those “want” pipes is often clogged in women with good girl conditioning. Oh, and I've woven in some music from Monique's new album, You Are The Sovereign One, to make this podcast even more transformational and experiential. Ready to step into sovereign woman?

Fifteen years ago, Monique DeBose wrote a song called “MORE” when she took a leap of faith and quit the corporate world to chase her dreams of becoming a singer.One year ago, after a #2 album and speaking at the United Nations, TEDx and Mindvalley, she finally plucked up the courage to put her song out into the world- and began a movement for women choosing MORE. In this deeply intimate and inspiring podcast, Monique will explore the stories of a diverse range of women who have chosen MORE for their own lives- from quitting a stable career to champion a little known politician named Barack Obama to becoming an global popstar and then making the decision to walk away from it all.  We'll find out what women are choosing MORE of, why and the impact it has had on their lives.Monique will also share tips and exercises that will help you to integrate everything you desire into your own life in a practical and fun way.What do you choose MORE of? It's time to decide and make it happen.For behind the scenes content and conversation regarding the podcast, join the Facebook Group Women Choosing MORE

There is a metaphysical side of music we rarely hear about. Consider the question: Will music survive if humans die out? The Brothers Koren - Isaac and Thorald - call this "musical cosmology." The idea, which Isaac first explored at Northeastern University, is that we all have a unique way of hearing music (eardrums are as unique as fingerprints), and by understanding how we process it, we can understand ourselves. They've been teaching the concept for six years now on "Songwriter's Journey" retreats, which have produced some songs that might be on your playlists (we found out about them through Monique DeBose, who was on the podcast in September).These Aussie brothers formed a group called The Kin in 2001, landed a deal with Interscope, and toured with Pink in 2013. These days, in addition to their duties as musical zen masters, they have a group called Fransancisco, which is set to release their first album in 2021. In this episode, we take a deep dive into our musical cosmologies and hear them perform a few songs.

Lambring had a publishing deal in Nashville, so you know she has strengthened that songwriting muscle. But after a few years of writing catchy songs for other people, she decided to do her own thing. I’m glad she did. Autonomy has some of the year’s best songwriting, but Lambring’s performances really give them life. This album is an astonishing venting of feminine rage -- not because Lambring is an angry woman, but because this album is all about examining the at times deadly pressures cis women face. Autonomy is an album about the expectations of patriarchy and learning how to flaunt them -- and still survive.

The Los Angeles based artist-activist calls upon everybody to own all parts of ourselves and our history – the good and the bad – so that we can openly and honestly confront the challenges that face us as individuals, as a society, and as a country. Monique’s message and expression comes in multiple forms – as a singer, songwriter, actor, poet and playwright – making her a boundless artist that can’t be categorized. The song and video of her landmark song, “Rally Call,” is an important anthem for our time.

How do you juggle being a mother, artist and businesswoman with your health and sanity and full expression? Monique DeBose is an extraordinary person who will let you into her world and behind the scenes of her wonderfully musical and worldly creations. 

LA native Monique DeBose is an award-winning playwright and Jazz-R&B-pop singer/songwriter, who has toured and entertained audiences throughout Europe, India, and Asia. Her third album–The Sovereign One - debuted at #2 on the iTunes Jazz Charts.Inspired by her experience of of what it means to be half African American, half Irish American, she wrote the funny, heartwarming and disruptive one-woman show Mulatto Math: Summing Up The Race Equation in America to initiate conversation and heal race relations in America.I managed to catch up with Monique in between shows to talk The Sovereign One and her arch as a musician. I hope you find her as engaging and entertaining as I did.

Today on the More Cheese Less Whiskers podcast we're talking with Monique DeBose who’s in LA. You are in for a treat if you like music, and jazz music particularly, because Monique has a wonderful jazz album that's debuted on the iTunes charts at number two in the jazz category. We had a great conversation to brainstorm ideas around how to make her music dreams come true. We talked a lot about the importance of getting people to know you, like you and then to trust you, and by trust in this context, we talking about people trusting they will have a good experience when they come to see her perform or they buy her album. She has the opportunity to model some of ways this has been done in other situations and really take an approach of starting in her local market to lay the foundations before looking at different ways of distributing her music or who else might be interested in sponsoring or participating in an event with her. You're really gonna enjoy this episode. There's a lot of parallels no matter what your ‘performance’ is. It's the same in a lot of ways to what I do. You know I go on tour each summer to Toronto, London, Amsterdam and Sydney, and I’m able to do small events like this because people know me, like me and trust me from all the time we get to spend together on the podcasts here, so I think you're really going to enjoy this episode, no matter what you do.   Show Links:Show TranscriptProfitActivatorScore.com     Want to be a guest on the show?

In 2016, singer-songwriter Monique DeBose was diagnosed with a tumour. She did something deeply creative after that. She dialogued with it. She asked what it wanted to teach her. It replied, "You need to be expressing authentically in a way that really has you be fulfilled.” So she asked herself, “What am I really not saying in the world that I need to be saying? And what am I afraid to say, but feel the need to say?” This year, Monique released two creative projects, both edgy and highly personal. One was an award-winning play, Mulatto Math, that sold out in New York and Los Angeles. The other was her chart-topping album, The Sovereign One, which hit #2 on its iTunes debut. In today's episode, Monique and I play with the tension between expressing and playing safe. How do we allow ourselves to be visible, to be seen, when what we're saying feels vulnerable? What if it hurts, or shocks someone? What if people we care about don't like it? What if they think about us differently? How do we speak up anyway, even if we're scared of how it'll be received? Show highlights include: Hearing what’s asking to be heard, even if it won’t be appreciated (or might even cause pain) How reaching the "fuck-its" can open you If you can quit your creative project, you should do so... Practical ways to handle discomfort Using the 3 Improv Rules: Be present, listen, and “yes, and…” How to make space inside yourself to hear what’s going on You don't need to be creating a project in the world to get something out of this conversation. This is for anyone who struggles with visibility and speaking up. Want to feel braver being seen? Join us.

What it shared: You need to be expressing authentically in a way that really has you be fulfilled.” “What am I really not saying in the world that I need to be saying, and what am I afraid to say, but I feel need to say?” “We like to feel comfortable as humans. That’s just a natural thing. And to really go for it...takes a huge act of courage.” “That energy of ‘you must speak your truth’ just haunted me.”

Randy Thomas, Arnie Wohl and Anita Gevinson talk to Santa Monica based singer & playwright Monique DeBose about her brave decision to pursue her life changing dreams, her latest release "The Sovereign One" and her one woman show "Mulatto Math: Summing up the Race Equation in America”. DeBose holds a master’s in Spiritual Psychology and graduated UC Berkeley with a BA in Math. Monique shares her story about when the numbers didn't add up for her, she jumped at the chance to find herself as a Jazz singer.

LA native Monique DeBose is an award-winning, multi-talented playwright and Jazz-R&B-pop singer/songwriter, who has toured and entertained audiences throughout Europe, India and Asia.  Her third album–The Sovereign One–is scheduled for release in Fall 2018. A leading vocal improvisationalist (having studied under Rhiannon and Joey Blake of the renowned Bobby McFerrin Voicestra), Monique now leads an international community of over 500 vocal artists throughout the United States and Europe. Inspired by her experience of of what it means to be half African American, half Irish American, she wrote the funny, heart-warming and disruptive one-woman show Mulatto Math: Summing Up The Race Equation in America to initiate conversation and heal race relations in America. She tours around the country, performing the show and facilitating workshops on identity, race and belonging.

She holds a master's degree in Spiritual Psychology and a BA in Mathematics from UC Berkeley. Monique calls LA home, is married to a Brit and is raising two compassionate, culturally intelligent boys. www.MoniqueDeBose.com www.MoniqueDeBose.com/creation (for a June 15-17, 2018 workshop for women) www.MulattoMath.com www.MoniqueDeBoseMusic.com On this episode of She Rises, host Giovanna Capozza interviews Monique Debose, LA native, award winning multi talented playwright, and jazz R&B pop singer-songwriter who has tour across India and Asia. She now leads an international community of over 500 vocal artists across the U.S. and Europe. Monique discusses how she wanted to be seen growing up and came to realize she wasn’t showing up. Monique talks about what happened between growing up and becoming a successful playwright and jazz singer. We are often living lives of quiet dissatisfaction with is a tiny death to the soul every day. You have to keep taking steps forward even when it feels painful and raw. You can live so much in your own world that you forget what people see on the outside. You don’t need to spend your time fitting into something that is not you. One of Monique’s super powers is being observant. If you’re not belonging somewhere, is it because it’s not the place for your soul’s journey? Monique talks about bridge culture and how two polarities come together. Answer who you are in the world to activate the parts inside that need to be awoken. Monique talks about the value of community and sisterhood when taking the time for yourself. Learn how to explore deeper layers of self-expression.

LA native Monique DeBose is an award-winning, multi-talented playwright and Jazz-R&B-pop singer/songwriter, who has toured and entertained audiences throughout Europe, India and Asia. Her third album–The Sovereign One–is scheduled for release in Fall 2018. A leading vocal improvisationalist (having studied under Rhiannon and Joey Blake of the renowned Bobby McFerrin Voicestra), Monique now leads an international community of over 500 vocal artists throughout the United States and Europe. Inspired by her experience of of what it means to be half African American, half Irish American, she wrote the funny, heartwarming and disruptive one-woman show Mulatto Math: Summing Up The Race Equation in America to initiate conversation and heal race relations in America. She calls LA home, is married to a Brit and is raising two compassionate, culturally intelligent boys. For so long I walked the earth thinking that what I had to say wasn’t important. I lived in a world that told me what to do, how to feel, what to like, and what not to like. In the process, I learned to shut down my voice and authentic expression. Have you had a similar experience? (You don’t speak up and say you contributed a shit load more to your company than the guy they’re promoting over you. Or you don’t tell your husband what you desire and the resentment builds…) Self-expression is the key to happy living. You need to know how to listen to your true voice to be able to differentiate the thoughts in your head that are serving you versus the ones holding you back. When you trust your inner wisdom, you take the steps necessary to move closer toward your dreams. If you are tired of living somebody else’s idea of a good life, then consider a private wholistic coaching session. You will gain access to the wisdom and tools needed to create your unique, amazing life.
