In this episode, we're joined by Dr. Monica Mo, founder & CEO of WellSeek, a social enterprise dedicated to helping women thrive in their work and life. Join us as we discuss the importance of creating judgment-free spaces for healing in community, where people feel seen and safe to be vulnerable. Dr. Monica shares her inspiration for founding SeekHer Foundation. She believes that when we recognize that we don't exist in isolation from each other, and that we are interdependent beings who are connected in this beautiful continuum of life, that's when real change happens. It was a thoughtful discussion about redefining health, mental health advocacy, and community care.The Unfolding: Presented by The Loveland Foundation podcast is an additional resource not only to the public but also to our therapy fund cohort members.

How do you define success? For my guest, Monica Mo, it required letting go of her ego, focusing on community, and leading from within. The moment when you realize that letting go of your ego and focusing on solving your communities' problems is the true key to success, you will never look back. So often, we fixate on ourselves. We worry, "Am I saying the right thing? Do I look the part? Should I get more credentials? Is my content up to par with others in my arena?" All of these are valid, understandable questions, but the answers to these questions will not necessarily help solve your communities’ problems. Our Podcast guest, Monica Mo, shares how she achieved success and fulfillment when she embraced the raw, vulnerable, humanness of people, and let go of trying to seem qualified enough, saying exactly the right thing, and shed her ego. I cannot lie, I have a major girl crush on Monica, and this episode highlights exactly why. I’m amazed by her life experiences and how she effectively uses them to enhance her business and life. I value how she leads with her heart and inner wisdom to aid and build her community. And, I respect her generosity and advice. Be sure to listen until the end...because Monica asks a bombshell question that gave ME goosebumps. Monica and I would love to hear your answers!
