✨ Hopefully Healing ✨ A podcast created for women of color on their healing journey — because let’s be honest, Healing is beautiful, messy, and sometimes hilarious.
Hosted by Monique also known as Moe, Hopefully Healing is a light-hearted yet impactful space where we unpack life, love, mental health, and self-discovery in one honest conversation at a time. Here, we celebrate the small wins, embrace the hard lessons, and find joy in the in-between moments.
Expect soulful chats, relatable stories, a sprinkle of humor, and reminders that it’s okay not to have it all figured out. Healing isn’t a destination — it’s a vibe, and you don’t have to do it alone.
✨ For the sisterhood finding hope in the Healing. ✨
I'm not afraid to admit, I have been half assing my dreams. Not completely showing up for myself. Not being consistent. Just really getting by. I have the dreams, some of the knowledge, and a little creativity, lol. However, it's still hard for me to just move. If you have been feeling that way, this episode is for you. Tune in as we start giving it 100% together in real time. As always, take what you need and leave what you don't.

What If I lied to Myself?
What if I lied to myself?
What if this really isn't my purpose? What the fuck is my purpose? This past week has been an emotionally charged one. One that has made me question everything I thought I knew about myself. I've been chasing this dream all while not feeling good enough. This caused me to in a constant cycle of motivation, excitment, and hten a hard stop of "Baby girl this aint you!: Did I lie to myself about my purpose?
Have any of you ever felt like this? Like you knew who you were and what your purpose was, and then... nothing. When the passion or purpose you had doesn't feel as you thought it would.
This week, we explore the concept of purpose, how we seek it, and how to master it.

Healing When the Applause is Silent
✨ Healing when no one claps for you… It hits different. No awards. No “I’m proud of you.” Just you, showing up for yourself in silence. And that counts too.
This episode is for the ones doing the work behind closed doors. The ones setting boundaries, feeling the grief, breaking cycles, without a single person saying thank you.
You don’t need applause to prove you’re growing. You are the evidence.
