What If Your Body Was Never The Problem?

Happy Memorial Day! Life is supposed to feel like memories, laughter, beach days, cookouts, confidence, and presence… but especially during the summer, so many people spend their time criticizing their bodies instead. In this episode of Monday Over Negativity, we’re talking about body image, comparison culture, social media pressure, confidence, aging, self-worth, and learning how to stop missing your life while trying to become “perfect.” Because your life is happening right now, not after the glow up. If you’ve ever: • avoided pictures • felt uncomfortable in your body • compared yourself online • postponed joy until you “look better” • or struggled with confidence… this episode is for you. Your body was never meant to be a trend. 🎙 New MON episodes every Monday YouTube & Instagram: @mondayovernegativity Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.thisismon.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [http://www.thisismon.com] Shop: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.shopmon.us [http://www.shopmon.us]

You’re Not Addicted to New Beginnings… You’re Avoiding Maintenance | MON Podcast

Sometimes it’s finally learning how to maintain what you already prayed for. Happy Monday. Keep showing up — even when it’s boring 🤍

That’s Not Your Personality… It’s Lack of Self-Awareness

In this episode of MON, Idelys talks about how self-awareness can completely change your relationships, mindset, communication, and everyday life. Sometimes we say: “That’s just how I am.” But real growth starts when we stop using personality as an excuse and start paying attention to how we show up around others. In this episode, we discuss: * emotional intelligence * reading the room * accountability & growth * reacting vs responding * communication & relationships * self-awareness habits that can improve your life We also feature real MON Stories from listeners about: * Unemployment and learning to stay hopeful during hard seasons * long-distance red flags, catfishing, and emotional reality checks This episode is your Monday reminder that growth starts with awareness. Because people don’t experience your intentions… they experience your behavior. 🎙 New MON episodes every Monday YouTube & Instagram: @mondayovernegativity Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.thisismon.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [http://www.thisismon.com] Shop: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.shopmon.us [http://www.shopmon.us]

The Mental Health Struggle No One Sees… But You’re Still Showing Up

Happy Monday, MON family 🤍 The scariest mental health state isn’t breaking down…it’s functioning like nothing’s wrong. In this episode, we’re talking about the quiet side of mental health, the kind where you’re still showing up, still doing everything you need to do…but you don’t feel like yourself. If you’ve been feeling mentally drained, disconnected, or overwhelmed while still keeping it together, this episode is for you. You’re not lazy.You’re not falling behind.You might just be tired of being the strong one. We also reflect on a powerful moment from Elijah in the Bible, a reminder that even strong people need rest, care, and grace.
