    Today I am joined by the beautiful Sami Garrett, this is such a deep, powerful conversation on how to LOVE motherhood, how to embrace it fully, to become more present and enjoy the magic of the mundane moments, to fully LIVE and enjoy each moment of this journey we GET to have and experience.


    We explore…

    • Nervous System Regulation
    • Postpartum Anger & Rage

    • What are your emotions and triggers revealing to you
    • Shift the lens, change your life
    • Revelling in the experience of being human and being a mother and all that comes with that

  • 157: DO WHAT YOU LOVE — Becoming a Soulpreneur with Tabitha Starr
    Sep 23 2025

    Today I am joined by the glorious Tabitha Starr, and we're exploring becoming a soul-preneur, an entrepreneur following your soul's calling, to do and share what you love with the world.

    It's so easy to get stuck, playing it "safe", we're so heavily conditioned to follow the path that was laid out for us, to get an education and get a "good" job.

    The Good Girl Unleashed is about breaking FREE from that and finding and following our own unique, authentic, aligned path.

    But this can feel scary, it's uncertain, we don't know how it will all unfold... but the thing is, we never know, even if we've chosen the "safe" path, we never know how life will unfold and what twists and turns are around the corner.

    What I know for certain is that if I don't follow my authentic, aligned path, I will live a miserable life full of regret.

    Becoming a soulpreneur has been such an adventure; it's been challenging, uncomfortable, scary AF, and the most amazing, wild, fulfilling, awakening, FREEING, healing adventure of a lifetime.

    Tabitha shares her journey from leaving the "safe" path of being an employee in a big financial company to completely pivoting and aligning with her soul path, becoming a business coach for soulful entrepreneurs.

    We also explore the common fears that come up for women when they're considering making this radical step to living authentically.


    Tabitha will be leading a FREE 5-Day masterclass, EMBOLDENED, A 5-day revival to spark your fire, reclaim your confidence, and get wildly turned on by your mission, your magic, and your next-level self

    And I am so excited to be a guest speaker for this incredible event, register here

  • 156: The Unexpected Villain with Amanda Vanessa
    Sep 16 2025
    In today’s episode, I am joined by Amanda Vanessa, and we’re exploring the idea that if you’re not the villain in someone else’s story, you’re probably not being your authentic self…When we step into our power, our authenticity, our full expression, we are very likely going to trigger someone.Being our authentic self and expressing ourselves has become taboo, so many of us are still hiding, contorting, suppressing, dimming our light in order to fit in and so when you step into your power, truth and authenticity, it’s going to make others that feel unsafe to do that uncomfortable.Triggers are a beautiful thing, they reveal to us what’s unhealed, unresolved, unintegrated, our of alignment so that we can come back to alignment, authenticity and truth.We’re often so afraid to trigger someone because it feels like it threatens our belonging which threatens our survival but when we realise that our belonging is within, it’s our responsibility, we can cultivate it for ourselves and it can never be taken away.So often we are relying on others to meet our needs for love, acceptance and belonging and then we feel trapped in our lives and relationships. When you cultivate self-love, acceptance and belonging from within, you are able to be your full self, this is where you find your freedom, and this is what allows you to connect with your soul tribe.When you stop trying to fit in and be your full self, which will involve accepting that not everyone will like you, you’re able to magnetise the people that LOVE you and resonate with your true self, and you’ll experience the love, connection and belonging you’ve been craving.I’m excited to share this conversation with you, it’s so powerful and I can’t wait to hear your thoughts and what resonated for you.Jump into the Facebook Community and share with us your experience, and what’s your next step to living authentically…https://www.facebook.com/share/g/19LPTPuqWy/⁠⁠LinksBECOMING (free) Live Experience with Monique, 27th Sep 2025: https://embodiedlove.moniquecarmela.com/becoming-liveJoin my email list by registering for one (or all) of my free resources (highly recommend so you don't miss an episode, free event, and other amazingness that is only sent to our email community): https://www.moniquecarmela.com/resourcesThe Embodied Woman Experience: https://embodiedlove.moniquecarmela.com/eweLearn more about me and my work here: https://www.moniquecarmela.com/Amanda VillarrealLilith-Coded Liberation Mentor & NeuroEmotional Alchemist, helping visionary women remember who the f*ck they are so they can rise in their full power & create the magical legacy they were born to lead ❤️‍🔥Get Amanda's Masterclass for free: The Unexpected Villain.

  • 155: The Embodied Woman Panel—Hear from the women of the EWE, their experiences and wisdom
    Sep 12 2025

    In today’s episode, I am joined by Amberlee Rose and 3 women from the Embodied Woman Experience 2024 Intake to share what they learned and received from the EWE

    This call is so frickin’ magical and profound, I have journeyed with some of these women for YEARS and others we began our journey with the EWE, and to witness them grow, heal, evolve, and come home to themselves, their power, truth and authenticity, their aliveness, their light, their love… woweee!!!

    I can’t express the love and gratitude I feel for these women and to have them on the podcast is a true honour, their journeys, their transformations have been profound, their wisdom is so deep and I am so excited to share with you their stories and what’s possible FOR YOU when you say YES to you, prioritise you and do the work to come home to your true self

    Each journey is unique just as yours is unique, it’s not about having the same experiences and transformations as them, it’s about realising that it’s all possible for you too when you say YES to you and do the work—join the community, hire the mentor/coach, do the practices, show up for yourself, love yourself to the capacity that is available—and continue to expand that capacity, to love more, to show up more, and witness your whole world transform.

    This is such a powerful conversation, let’s dive in…

  • 153: Personal Transformation through Death, Rebirth, Sitting In The Void & Coming Home To Truth
    Sep 4 2025

    My story

    2025 has been a MASSIVE year of integration from some incredibly deep work I did with my mentor, Victoria Bauman, last year.

    Through our work I felt a huge recalibration to truth, authenticity, alignment, and embodied love. It allowed me to anchor into deep safety and tap into the courage required to make some BIG decisions that previously felt too scary and this completely changed my life, allowing me to become the Embodiment Of Love, an initiation I have been moving through since opening my company a couple years ago, Embodied Love Coaching.

    In this episode, I share with you my journey of death, rebirth, and sitting in the void, shifting how I show up and respond to life, shifting the lens of lack, scarcity, not good enoughness, to overflowing abundance, love, and truth.

    I share with you incredible realisations, messages, and wisdom that has been coming through for me, for you, for us, and where we are heading on this journey together…

  • 151: The Healing Journey: Creating Safety, Embracing Authenticity and Inner Growth with Victoria Bowman
    Mar 9 2025

    In this episode, Monique talks with Victoria Bowman about her transformative journey from founding 'Owaken Breathwork' to undertaking profound personal healing and growth.

    The conversation delves into Victoria's transition from traditional community development and philanthropy to coaching and breathwork, exploring her decision to step away from her professional success to confront deep-seated feelings of unworthiness.

    Moniqu shares her experiences working with Victoria, discussing the challenges and revelations from confronting internalized beliefs about worthiness, safety, and success.

    Together, they emphasize the importance of seeking genuine alignment with one's heart desires, embracing the full spectrum of emotions, and finding support in community and professional containers. This episode sheds light on the deep inner work required for authentic transformation and the role of this work in creating a meaningful and connected life.
