Future Self Coach

I spent years climbing the corporate ladder as a six-figure project manager, checking all the boxes of “success” — but behind the promotions and full calendar, I was exhausted, unfulfilled, and questioning if this was really all there was.

That’s when I discovered Future Self Psychology and used it to completely shift my identity, my choices, and ultimately, my life. I left corporate, built a freedom-based business, and now coach other ambitious women who want to break out of burnout and design a business and lifestyle that actually feels aligned.

On your show, I can share both the raw side of leaving behind a “safe” career and the practical strategies of stepping into your future self now — including clarity exercises, mindset shifts, and the exact path I teach clients to replace their 9–5 income.

Your listeners will walk away with a blend of inspiration and actionable steps to see themselves differently, believe bigger, and move toward their own version of freedom.

Built and sold companies, yet still felt lost after doing everything “right.” Now I guide people to The Hidden Path™, freedom and purpose on their own terms.

I’ve built and sold multiple companies, including a digital marketing agency and a SaaS platform, but what I discovered after those exits is what makes my story valuable for your audience: success alone doesn’t guarantee fulfillment.

Like so many entrepreneurs and professionals, I did everything “right.” I built the businesses, hit the milestones, made the money: only to realize I felt stuck, bored, and disconnected. That experience taught me the dirty secret most people don’t talk about: the game of success, as the world defines it, can actually trap you.

Today, I’m the founder of illumiShift, where I guide people through The Hidden Path™, a structured system to help them detox from noise, uncover their truth, and realign life on their own terms. Along the way, I share signature concepts like The Purpose Paradox (why chasing success without purpose leads to emptiness) and Fear as Fuel (how to transform fear into momentum).

For your audience, this conversation isn’t just about my story, it’s about their story:

- Why “having it all” often still feels empty.

- How to recognize if they’re chasing society’s version of success instead of their own.

- Practical tools for cutting through the noise and getting clarity on what actually matters.

- How to break free from burnout, boredom, and finally start getting real traction in life.

If your listeners have ever thought, “I’ve done everything right, but I still feel stuck,” I can help them see they’re not broken, they’re just ready for a new path.

Ready to Rise

I’m Monica Kaufman, CFP®— founder of Harmony Wealth Academy.

As a financial planner and behavioral strategist with deep roots in both Wall Street and real-world resilience, I believe that true wealth is built at the intersection of mindset, meaning, and money.

My work is shaped not just by decades in the industry—but by my personal story as a wife, caregiver, and mother navigating the challenges of severe mental illness in my family. I’ve learned that clarity isn’t a luxury—it’s a lifeline.

Most people weren’t taught how to lead financially. They’re overwhelmed, ashamed, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. That’s why I created The Aligned Horizon—a framework for helping people rise above fear, reclaim agency, and build a financial life that reflects who they truly are.

Whether I’m working with high-income professionals and entrepreneurs, purpose-driven parents, or first-generation wealth builders, my message is this:

You are not behind.

You are not broken.

You’re just ready for a new horizon.

So the real question is:

Are you ready to rise?
