COACHING
Strategy and coaching for women starting a business
You’ve got the idea. Now let’s build it.
You don't need more tabs open, more half-finished plans, or more time stuck in your own head.
You need clear decisions, smart next steps, and support that helps you actually move.
Defy Doubt Coaching is private strategic coaching for women who are starting a business or trying to restart one that has stalled.
You have the idea.
You believe in it.
But somewhere between the overthinking, the pressure,
the research, and the second-guessing, your momentum dropped.
That’s where I come in.
I help you sort through the mess, make cleaner decisions, rebuild self-trust,
and take the right next steps so your business starts becoming real.
THIS IS NOT JUST COACHING
This is strategy and coaching together.
Because when you are stuck in early business, you usually don't need more inspiration.
You need someone to help you:
figure out what matters right now
stop circling the same decisions
choose the next step
work through the doubt that keeps slowing you down
build momentum in a way that fits your real life
Inside this work, I bring both sides:
Strategic support
Offer clarity, direction, priorities, messaging, decisions, next steps, business-building guidance.
Coaching support
Mindset tools, pattern-breaking, self-trust rebuilding, accountability, and honest feedback when doubt gets loud.
You won't leave with just insight.
You will leave with decisions, direction, and tools you can actually use.
WHAT WE WORK ON
Every client is different, but here are the kinds of things we can work through together:
getting clear on your business idea and what you're actually building
shaping your offer so it makes sense and feels sellable
deciding what to do first, what to ignore, and what's wasting your time
choosing tools, tech, or setup without drowning in options
getting out of research loops and into action
untangling the mindset patterns that keep stalling your progress
rebuilding trust in yourself after months or years of circling
creating a business that supports your life instead of swallowing it whole
WHAT YOU'LL WALK AWAY WITH
By the end of our work together, you'll have:
clearer decisions
a stronger sense of direction
practical next steps you can follow
tools to handle doubt in real time
more consistency and follow-through
more headspace at the end of the day
momentum that feels steady, not frantic
This isn't about building a business through burnout.
It's about building something real, in a smarter way, with more clarity and less mental drag.
Choose The Coaching Format That Fits Your Life
For some, real-time conversations on Zoom create the fastest breakthroughs.
For others, having space to message as things come up leads to deeper, more honest reflection.
Defy Doubt Coaching offers both formats so your support matches how you naturally think and process.
OPTION 1
Live 1:1 Coaching (Zoom)
Best for you if you:
Like talking things out in real time.
Want a regular, protected time in your calendar just for you.
Prefer having live conversations to process, reflect, and decide.
What this includes:
3 months of private 1:1 coaching.
10 x 45-minute Zoom sessions (weekly or every 10 days).
Personalized pre-program intake so we know exactly what we’re working on.
Session recaps so you’re not trying to remember everything afterward.
Clear action steps between sessions so you always know your next move.
Light support between sessions (brief check-ins if you need clarity or accountability).
OPTION 2
Asynchronous Coaching (Message & Voice Based)
Best for you if you:
Have an unpredictable schedule (work, kids, life…).
Prefer writing or voice notes over live calls.
Want support in the moment, when doubt actually shows up.
What this includes:
3 months of message-based coaching via WhatsApp, Voxer & email.
Weekday coaching support (you send messages as things come up; I respond within agreed timeframes Monday - Friday).
Deep written/audio reflections you can go back to anytime.
Weekly “anchor check-in” to summarize what shifted and what’s next.
Clear boundaries so you feel supported, not glued to your phone.
Both paths follow the same Defy Doubt framework, we just choose the format that works best for your brain and your life.
How The Coaching Works
Defy Doubt Coaching is a 3-month private coaching container.
That gives us enough time to do more than talk about the problem.
We actually work the problem.
GET CLEAR
We figure out what you are building, what is actually getting in the way, and what matters most right now.
We cut through the mental clutter and get specific.
STRATEGIC COURAGE
This is where we work through the choices you have been circling.
Offer, direction, priorities, messaging, tools, structure, and next steps.
We stop letting doubt run the business.
BUILD REAL MOMENTUM
Now we focus on follow-through.
We put simple structure in place so you can keep moving without needing to constantly “get motivated” all over again.
The goal isn't just progress while we are working together.
The goal is to help you think, decide, and move better after we are done too.

WHO YOU'RE WORKING WITH
Hi, I’m Monique.
I know what it feels like to have a strong idea, believe in it, and still struggle to make real progress.
That is a frustrating place to live.
Defy Doubt was built from that space, and from everything I have learned while building through it.
My work is grounded in hands-on building, not just theory.
I’m a certified coach through Efficient Coach, and I’ve completed Marie Forleo’s B-School along with additional training in branding, copywriting, social media, digital strategy, and lasting change.
I also have a background in marketing and communication, which means I’m wired to hear what you really mean, cut through noise quickly, and help turn scattered thoughts into something clear and usable.
What I bring into this work is not just encouragement. I bring strategy, tools, pattern recognition, honest feedback, and real care for helping you succeed.
WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING
WHO THIS IS FOR
This program is for you if...
You have a business idea and want help turning it into something real.
You started, but stalled.
You're tired of overthinking every move.
You want both strategy and coaching, not just one or the other.
You're willing to work hard, but you don't want to build through exhaustion.
You want a business that gives you more freedom, fulfillment, and breathing room.
This program is not for you if...
You want overnight change or someone to “fix” your life for you.
You’re not willing to look at your own patterns.
You’d rather keep blaming circumstances than make changes you can control.
You want all the answers handed to you instead of learning to trust yourself.
You’re not ready to make mental and emotional space for this work.
Defy Doubt Coaching is for women who are ready to stop negotiating with their doubt
and start acting like the version of themselves they actually want to be.
WHAT HAPPENS ON THE DEFY DOUBT INITIAL CALL?
This is not a high-pressure sales call.
On your 30-minute Start Strong Call, we will:
- Get clear on what is actually keeping you stuck.
- Talk through the idea, decision, or roadblock you keep circling.
- Look at what the next right step could be.
- Decide whether Defy Doubt Coaching is the right fit for you.
If it is, I’ll walk you through the next steps.
If it isn't, you will still leave with more clarity than you had before.
You don't need more time to think about whether you could do this.
You need a clear path, the right support, and the courage to start moving again.
If you have the idea and you are ready to build it right:
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between live coaching and asynchronous coaching?
Live coaching happens in real-time on scheduled Zoom calls. It’s great if you like talking things through face-to-face, want a regular time blocked off just for you, and enjoy the energy of live conversation and instant back-and-forth.
Asynchronous coaching happens through written and/or voice messages. It’s ideal if you prefer to reflect and respond in your own time, have an unpredictable schedule, or want support in the exact moments doubt shows up during your day. You send messages as things come up; I reply within our agreed timeframes on weekdays.
Both options use the same Defy Doubt approach and depth of work. The difference is simply how we communicate and what best fits your life and your brain.
What if I don’t know exactly what I want yet?
Most clients don’t when they start. That’s part of the work.
We’ll uncover what matters most to you, choose one area to focus on, and build from there.
How much does it cost?
The full 3-month coaching container is $1497 CDN or 3 payments of $500 CDN. That includes all sessions or async support, resources, and between-session guidance.
What happens during our sessions (live option)?
Each live session is 45 minutes on Zoom. We talk through what’s happening in your life right now, look at the bigger picture of what you want, and decide on a few specific actions for the coming week. You’ll always leave knowing what you’re focusing on and why it matters.
How does asynchronous coaching work?
Instead of scheduled calls, we coach through messages (written or voice) using WhatsApp, Voxer & email. You send messages when things come up; I respond within our agreed timeframes on weekdays. It’s perfect if you think best in writing, have a busy schedule, or want support in the moments doubt shows up.
What if I need to reschedule or fall behind?
Life happens. For live sessions, you can reschedule a limited number of calls within your 3-month window. For async coaching, we’ll set realistic expectations for how often you’ll check in so you feel supported, not overwhelmed. If something big disrupts your timeline, we’ll talk and find a solution that respects both of our boundaries.
What if I've tried coaching before and it didn't stick?
That’s more common than you think. A lot of coaching stays surface-level.
Here, we focus on your real patterns, real decisions, and real life, so the change sticks because it’s built around you, not a generic formula.
Disclaimer:
This is coaching, not therapy, medical care, or legal/financial advice. Defy Doubt Coaching focuses on awareness, clarity, and forward movement. We work on your patterns, your decisions, and how you show up in your life. I do not diagnose, treat, or cure mental health conditions. I do not provide medical, legal, or financial advice. If at any point I believe you’d benefit from support beyond coaching, I’ll encourage you to reach out to a qualified professional. Your wellbeing comes first.
Results & Responsibility
Your results will always depend on your own effort, honesty, and follow-through. I’ll bring my full experience, tools, and support, you bring your willingness to do the work. I can’t promise specific outcomes, but I can promise we will take your goals seriously and work with intention.
Refund Policy
Due to the personalized nature of this coaching, all sales are final.
If you need to reschedule a live session, I ask for at least 24 hours’ notice so we can respect both of our time.
