• 443: How to Make Aligned, Nourishing Friendships as an Adult

  Ooooof, making friends as an adult can feel HARD. If you’re tired of surface friendships, you’re craving deeper connections, and/or you’re secretly judging yourself for not having found “your people” yet... you’re going to seriously love this one. Let’s just say that this episode is essentially a masterclass on *how to* make aligned friendships as an adult and tangible tips to grow your community. Monica goes deep into the energetics of effort, sisterhood wounding, navigating new seasons like motherhood or moving cities, and how your nervous system literally decides whether friendship feels safe or not. She’s also getting into: 🤍 How to tell if a friendship is aligned or just comfortable🤍 The trap of over-identifying with the “I’m better because I’ve done the work” energy🤍 What to do when you’re the one always making the effort🤍 The invisible ways we block connection when we don’t feel safe to be ourselves🤍 How to build soul-aligned friendships when you're in a new city or season🤍 The sneaky ways sisterhood wounds show up (and how to start healing them)🤍 Why you need to stop looking for people who are “just like you”🤍 The importance of seasonal alignment in friendships🤍 How to know when to let go of friendships that don’t feel good anymore🤍 Somatic tips for starting richer & deeper conversations +++++ As Mentioned In The Episode: ⇢ Listen to the episode — 366: The Dark Side of Personal Development & How to Know if You’ve Actually Done the Work: https://monicayateshealth.com/blogs/podcast/366-the-dark-side-of-personal-development-how-to-know-if-you-ve-actually-done-the-work?_pos=6&_psq=The+dark+side+of+personal+development&_ss=e&_v=1.0&_gl=1*2y1is0*_ga*NzY0NzA0NTk4LjE3NTUyMTg1NjA.*_ga_XEFT8KE3Z9*czE3NTk3NzE3MDMkbzk5JGcxJHQxNzU5NzcyMDA3JGo1OCRsMCRoMA.. ⇢ Hop on the waitlist for — HER Year: https://monicayateshealth.com/pages/her-year-mastermind?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=waitlist-2025 ⇢ Don’t miss out on any updates for — The Immersion: https://monicayateshealth.com/pages/immersion?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=atlanta-2025 ⇢ Join the waitlist for — Queen Alchemy: https://monicayateshealth.com/pages/queen-alchemy?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=qa-16 ⇢ Connect with Amanda at [email protected] to have your name on the list when tickets become available for the London Book launch party! ⇢ Order the BOOK — Becoming HER: https://www.becomingherbook.com/ ⇢ Monica’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/monicayateshealth ⇢ Full, SEARCHABLE Podcast Directory: https://monicayateshealth.com/blogs/feminine-as-f-ck-podcast/podcast-directory Remember to leave a written review on Apple Podcasts, screenshot it before you submit it, and email it to us at [email protected] to receive an exclusive meditation track as a 'thank you' from Monica. This podcast and its content is copyright of Monica Yates Health © and Feminine as F*ck ©.

• 442: Why You Stay in Unhealthy Relationships And What It *Actually* Takes to Break Free

  With October being Domestic Violence Awareness Month, Monica unpacks the trauma-driven dynamics and layered complexities of unhealthy relationships—because violence isn’t always physical. It can also be emotional and mental, and its subtle patterns can chip away at your self-worth, intuition, and power over time. And we all deserve a relationship that actually feels like peace. Here’s what she’s getting into: 💦 The power of language and adding labels to ourselves💦 Why you keep attracting the same type of man over and over💦 The complexity of leaving an unhealthy relationship💦 The fundamental components of a healthy relationship💦 Honoring your needs in a relationship, and what happens if you don’t💦 The psychology of trauma bonds💦 How your trauma chooses your partner before you do💦 The missing ingredient in your boundaries (and why most women don’t know how to follow through) IMPORTANT NOTE: If you’re in a physically abusive situation and need immediate support, please call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 800-799-7233 or visit thehotline.org. You are not alone, and help is available. +++++ As Mentioned In The Episode: ⇢ Order the BOOK — Becoming HER: https://www.becomingherbook.com/ ⇢ Listen to the episode — 401: It Ends With Us: Monica’s Unfiltered Breakdown of THE Movie & Book of the Year: https://monicayateshealth.com/blogs/podcast/401-it-ends-with-us-monica-s-unfiltered-breakdown-of-the-movie-book-of-the-year?_pos=1&_psq=it+ends+with+us&_ss=e&_v=1.0&_gl=1*k718c2*_ga*NzY0NzA0NTk4LjE3NTUyMTg1NjA.*_ga_XEFT8KE3Z9*czE3NTkxOTc0MjEkbzg2JGcxJHQxNzU5MTk3NDI1JGo1NiRsMCRoMA.. ⇢ Listen to the episode — 285: Are they a narcissist?: https://monicayateshealth.com/blogs/podcast/285-are-they-a-narcissist?_pos=1&_psq=narcissist&_ss=e&_v=1.0&_gl=1*1dpxe86*_ga*NzY0NzA0NTk4LjE3NTUyMTg1NjA.*_ga_XEFT8KE3Z9*czE3NTkxOTc0MjEkbzg2JGcxJHQxNzU5MTk3NDM4JGo0MyRsMCRoMA.. ⇢ Hop on the waitlist for — HER Year: https://monicayateshealth.com/pages/her-year-mastermind?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=waitlist-2025 ⇢ Don’t miss out on any updates for — The Immersion: https://monicayateshealth.com/pages/immersion?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=atlanta-2025 ⇢ Join the waitlist for — Queen Alchemy: https://monicayateshealth.com/pages/queen-alchemy?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=qa-16 ⇢ Get in the Boundaries masterclass: https://monicayateshealth.com/pages/boundaries-masterclass?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=evergreen_general ⇢ Monica’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/monicayateshealth ⇢ Full, SEARCHABLE Podcast Directory: https://monicayateshealth.com/blogs/feminine-as-f-ck-podcast/podcast-directory Remember to leave a written review on Apple Podcasts, screenshot it before you submit it, and email it to us at [email protected] to receive an exclusive meditation track as a 'thank you' from Monica. This podcast and its content is copyright of Monica Yates Health © and Feminine as F*ck ©.
