Welcome to Defy Doubt

Hey, I'm Monique!

I didn’t lose myself when I became a parent (but sometimes I felt like I did).

I gained new parts of me. Strength I didn’t know I had, patience I never imagined, a kind of love that rearranged my entire world.

But while I was growing into this new version of me…

I shelved parts of who I already was.

The creative.

The poet.

The dreamer.

The believer.

I told myself I’d come back to her later or try to weave parts of her in where I could. After the diapers. After the school lunches. After the schedules settled down. But “later” kept moving. And every time I reached for something that was just for me, I ran headfirst into guilt, self-doubt, and a voice in my head that whispered, “You should be grateful. This is enough.”

That’s where Defy Parenting Doubt was born - from truth. From the realization that I didn’t want to trade my identity to be a good parent. I’ve sold myself a version of parenting that demands all of me, all the time - and guilts me for wanting anything more or anything less.

But now I believe something different.

- You can be an incredible parent and a whole person.

- You can raise your kids and take your dreams off the shelf.

- You can feel doubt and still move forward.

This space isn't for parenting advice.

This space is for parents to BE more, WANT more, and HAVE more.

Trust yourself again.

You don’t need to be fixed; you’re not broken.

You don’t need another rulebook; you already have the tools

What I hope you feel right now:

✔️ A sense of relief

✔️ A flicker of possibility

✔️ A sense that it’s not too late

✔️ The powerful belief that you can rewrite your story starting today

You’re not starting over.

You’re not changing who you are.

You’re just deciding to become who you want to be.
