Welcome to Defy Doubt

Hey, I'm Monique!

I’m a tea-loving, pen-hoarding mom of three who thrives on honest conversations, last-minute ideas, and turning chaos into clarity.

And I’ve been exactly where you are.

Trying to hold it all together.


Doing all the things that should make life feel fulfilling like family, work, responsibilities, and still wondering why it feels like something’s missing.

From the outside, everything looked fine.

On the inside, I was running on autopilot, second-guessing myself, doubting my direction, and quietly wondering: “When did I stop feeling like me?”

That question became the start of Defy Doubt, not a business plan, but a turning point.

It grew from bathroom breaks where I just needed a minute alone.
From lying awake in the middle of the night with my mind racing.
From trying to show up fully as a mom and as myself and realizing I’d slowly disappeared behind my roles.

Over time, I learned this:

Clarity doesn’t come from having every answer.
It comes from learning to trust your own voice again.

WHAT I DO NOW

Now, I help women do the same, without burning everything down.

Not by giving you more to do, but by helping you reconnect with who you are beneath the noise:


the calm, confident version of you that’s still there, buried under responsibility and doubt.

I work with women who:

👉 Have real responsibilities and real goals often in business, leadership, or self-employment.

👉 Are past the “idea” stage, but stuck circling decisions and talking themselves out of what they really want.

👉 Are tired of feeling like the most doubtful person in the room, even though everyone else thinks they’re strong.
