Welcome to Launch Your Coaching Ministry — the podcast for Christian women over 40 who know corporate gave them a title, but God gave them a calling. Hey sis, I'm so glad you're here. For 20+ years, I climbed the corporate ladder, checked all the boxes, and made really good money. I was good at my job. But somewhere along the way, I realized climbing higher just made me more invisible — and more exhausted. So I walked away. And that decision changed everything. Now I help Christian women like you take everything you learned in corporate and turn it into your own thing. A business. A calling. Kingdom work that actually pays you. Here's what we talk about every week: We're tackling the real stuff — the faith-career guilt that's been eating at you, the lies telling you you're too old or not enough, the practical strategies for packaging your God-given gifts into offers people actually want to pay for. We're talking about finding clients, pricing with confidence, building systems that work, and yes — navigating the doubt and fear that comes with betting on yourself. This isn't another "lean in harder" podcast. And it's not spiritual bypassing either. We're bringing the real-life wisdom, the practical steps, and the faith-filled strategy you need to launch a coaching ministry that honors God and creates the financial flexibility you've been praying for. New episodes drop every Friday morning — so you've got something to fuel your week and remind you that you're not too old, you're not too late, and you're exactly where God needs you to be.

The first time I told my story publicly, I told the cute version.
I had been fired from a temporary job by a boss who didn't even show up to do it himself. He sent someone else who yelled at me through the whole thing. I sat in the car after and realized something I couldn't unsee. The table was never built for me anyway.
But when I posted about it the first time, I said I left.
Because I was embarrassed. I didn't want to look bad....
In a single quarter of 2025, over 300,000 Black women exited the labor force. Black women are now the fastest growing group of entrepreneurs in America. The corporate exodus isn't a trend, sis. It's a movement.
And if you're sitting at your corporate desk right now wondering if it's too late to build something of your own, this episode is the answer to the question you've been afraid to ask out loud.
But here's the part nobody's te...
You did everything right. You showed up early. You stayed late. You did the work. You kept your head down. You survived every room that told you to be less so everyone else could feel like more.
And somewhere along the way you learned something that nobody taught you out loud. Make yourself smaller. Soften your voice. Smile when you are not happy. Stay quiet when you have the answer. Shrink.
And here is what nobody told you when yo...
Over a year ago my mother lost the ability to walk. I had already left my corporate job to coach full time. There was no going back. No safety net. No plan B. Just me, my mom who needed me around the clock, and a coaching business that needed me to show up.
And in the middle of the hardest season of my life I heard God ask me something that stopped me cold.
Who do I say you are? Do you trust Me?
That question sent me down a rabbit ...
Let me ask you something before you hit play.
What does your LinkedIn headline say right now?
If it says something like "helping women live their best life" or "Christian entrepreneur passionate about purpose" or "empowering women to reach their full potential," sis, we need to talk. Because that headline is talking to everybody and reaching nobody. And until that changes, the algorithm is not your problem. Your vagueness is.
In th...
I want to tell you about the day a man yelled "don't get upset" at me while I was sitting completely calm asking straightforward questions in a soft voice about my own termination.
I was not upset. I was composed. I was professional. And none of it mattered because he had already decided who I was before I opened my mouth.
And that was the moment it clicked. There was nothing I could say or do to change how he saw me. So I walked o...
I have four coaching certifications. A health coaching certification from IIN and a stress management certification (and a couple other ones) I got because I was convinced I needed more credentials before I could really help people.
And then I had a client session that changed everything I thought I knew about what actually qualifies you to coach.
She did not want to hear about the different types of stress. She did not care about ...
For years I asked my church to build a website. I was a licensed minister in the AME Church and I could see exactly what was coming. I even learned how to build websites myself so I could offer to do it for free. And they said no every single time.
Until 2020 hit and left them no choice.
In this episode I am telling that full story for the first time. What it looked like when the churches that called the internet the devil suddenly...
You built the website. You ran the ads. You networked at church. You posted consistently. And you still don't have clients.
In this episode, Monique breaks down exactly why heavy effort without strategy keeps talented, faith-led women stuck, and why that has nothing to do with your calling, your age, or your faith.
You'll learn the difference between Productivity Theater and actual client acquisition, why the Meritocracy Fallacy is...

In this episode I am breaking down the real science behind why so many qualified Christian women over 40 still feel like frauds when it comes to launching their coaching businesses. Not the surface level explanation you have already heard. The actual psychology underneath it, what ...
I owe you an explanation for where I've been. And honestly, I think my explanation might be exactly what you needed to hear today.
Over a year ago, my mom was misdiagnosed at a hospital. She spent several weeks hospitalized. When she came home, she couldn't walk. She still hasn't taken a step. And in the middle of that season, I had to figure out something nobody prepares you for: how do you keep showing up for the women God called...
They wanted me to risk my high-risk mother's life during a pandemic. Then they retaliated when I spoke up about a broken system. Then they tried to write me up for things that happened while I was on approved leave. Here's the REAL story of how corporate showed me exactly who they are - twice - and why I finally walked away.
The biggest regret? I stayed longer than I should have because I didn't have a financial exit plan. Don't ma...
