What I Avoided Seeing [Season 5 - Episode 1]

Naming What Is [Season 5 - Episode 2]

In this episode of The Life Audit: This Time, In Truth, I’m sitting with what it means to finally name what is—without rushing to fix it, soften it, or explain it away. This conversation is about radical acceptance, emotional awareness, and the quiet courage it takes to tell yourself the truth about where you are… with honesty, tenderness, and grace. As we move through April 1 and toward the energy of the Pink Moon, this episode invites us into a deeper kind of awareness—the kind that asks us to release what we’ve been resisting and make space for what is ready to bloom. I’m also closing out Act I: The Pause and preparing us to step into Act II: The Audit—where we’ll begin taking an honest inventory of our lives, without rushing the truth. If you’ve been feeling something rise in you… something asking to be acknowledged… something you can no longer ignore… then this episode is your invitation to stop arguing with what you feel and begin honoring what is true. This is my journey. This is your journey. This is our journey. And this season…we tell the truth. Together. JOURNAL PROMPTS  What is true for me right now? Gently ask yourself: * What am I ready to release? * What truth is asking to be acknowledged? * What have I outgrown? * What is ready to bloom in me this season?

What I Avoided Seeing [Season 5 - Episode 1]

In this episode of The Life Audit: This Time, In Truth, I’m sharing the truth of what I finally had to face: there were things my body, spirit, and nervous system had already been trying to tell me… and I had been avoiding seeing them clearly. This conversation is about gentle confrontation, honest reflection, and the courage to acknowledge what has been quietly pulling us out of alignment. I’m also sharing the deeper intention behind this season and inviting you into the work with me—not just to listen, but to reflect, to notice, and to begin telling yourself the truth with compassion. If you’ve been feeling the weight of what you’ve normalized… this episode is your mirror. This is my journey. This is your journey. This is our journey. And this season… we do the work. Together. JOURNAL PROMPTS  * What have I been avoiding seeing in this season of my life? * What truth has my body already been trying to tell me? * What have I normalized that is actually pulling me out of alignment? * What environments, conversations, or patterns leave me feeling unsafe, exhausted, or disconnected from myself? * What am I now ready to acknowledge without judgment? * What would it look like to honor what I see… instead of forcing myself to ignore it?

The Life Audit: This Time, In Truth [Season 5 - Opener]

My Journey. Your Journey. Our Journey. This season of Mon Journée is a return… but not a repeat. It’s a sacred pause turned intentional movement. A space where we slow down long enough to tell the truth—about who we’ve been, what we’ve carried, what we’ve avoided, and who we are becoming. The Life Audit is not about perfection. It’s about presence. It’s about gently, honestly, and sometimes courageously taking a look at our lives from the inside out. Each week, we create space to reflect, release, and realign—together. Through storytelling, lived experiences, and grounded moments of truth, this season invites you to sit with yourself in a way that feels safe, supported, and seen. No judgment. No rushing. Just room to breathe, process, and become. Because this isn’t just my journey. It’s your journey. It’s our journey. And you are not alone here. New episodes every Wednesday. Follow along, share with your community, and if this space supports you, we welcome you to pour back into it—through your presence, your voice, and your support. This is Mon Journée. My Day. My Journey. Our Collective Becoming.

Health & Well-Being — Choosing Life, Letting Go, and Finding Peace [Season 4 - Episode 3]

This week on Mon Journée, we continue the Life Audit with a focus on health, well-being, and finding peace. Season 4 is dedicated to suicide awareness and prevention, and in this heartfelt episode Maleika René opens up about the weight of guilt, friendship, chronic illness, and the courage to release what no longer supports her physical or emotional peace. Through truth, reflection, and healing, she shares how to become your own advocate, balance life while navigating chronic illness, and make peace with letting go of what drains your spirit. Maleika also opens her heart about suicidal ideation — reminding us that these thoughts do not define us, and healing begins when we speak them aloud. This episode includes a short visualization practice, journal prompts for deeper reflection, and four supportive ideas for moments when life feels heavy. You are not alone. You are loved. You are still here for a reason. 💜 If you or someone you know is struggling, please reach out to the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline by texting or dialing 988 — help is available 24/7.

Why the AUDIT? [Season 4 - Episode 2]

In this episode of Mon Journée, Maleika René shares the spark that inspired this season’s Life Audit — listening to her body, embracing the lessons of the recent Full Moon, and navigating shyness and perfectionism while slowly stepping into her YouTube journey. Together we explore how to reflect without self-criticism, avoid the rabbit hole of overthinking, and move toward truth and purpose at a gentle pace. This week includes a guided breathing practice, reflection prompts to deepen your Life Audit, and a reminder that you are not alone. Thank you for journeying with me.
