Joining me today is the beautiful Amberlee Rose for a deeply honest and nourishing conversation, exploring what it really means to stay connected to yourself through the waves of life.

Together, we unpack the experience so many women move through — feeling untethered, caught in mental loops, disconnected from the body, overwhelmed by emotions, relationships, motherhood, business, expectations, and the pressure to always be “regulated.”

This conversation is a reminder that healing isn’t about becoming calm, perfect, or emotionally unshakeable. It’s about expanding your capacity to stay with yourself through the contractions and expansions of life.

Inside this episode, we explore:

• The difference between “losing yourself” and becoming ungrounded
• Nervous system regulation beyond the social media version of “always calm”
• Why emotional activation is often wisdom, not something to fix
• The pressure to be the “good woman” who is always easy, soft, calm, and agreeable
• Sacred rage, boundaries, truth, and honoring the body’s no
• The spiral of overthinking, dissociation, and emotional shutdown
• Motherhood, relationships, and the mirrors they reveal
• Deepening intimacy with yourself, life, and community
• Moving beyond chasing highs and learning to stay present with life as it is
• The importance of support systems, co-regulation, and stepping fully into the circle

This episode is an invitation to soften the perfectionism around healing and remember that the journey isn’t about never being activated again — it’s about learning how to return to yourself, over and over again.

To deepen this work with us, you’re invited to join our free Facebook community where we continue these conversations, share practices, reflections, and support each other in embodying this work more deeply.

And if you feel called into a deeper journey of nervous system healing, emotional intimacy, truth, boundaries, embodiment, and grounded self-leadership, you can join us inside Grounded In You — Monique’s immersive program devoted to helping women expand their capacity to hold themselves through the sacred rhythm of contraction and expansion.
