Three questions to Monica

Before we dive in Monica, tell us a little bit about yourself!

As the Founder of Moore Nourishing Life, I’m a mindset and wellbeing coach helping people learn how to ‘human’ in a world that often feels overwhelming. My work particularly resonates with women navigating Midlife and those thinking about then rebuilding post separation and divorce. 

What’s something you’ve changed your mind about recently?

I've changed my mind about needing to have an opinion on everything. Not everything deserves my commentary or engagement. There's so much we cannot control. Redirecting attention toward what actually matters is liberating—and far more interesting. Practicing detachment is a skill worth cultivating. Think and Think Again is a great initiative that encourages us to live in the questions.

Who is someone you admire, and why?

I admire people who navigate change with courage and compassion—who don't pretend everything is perfect but stay committed to growing anyway. People who rebuild after life unravels. I'm learning to trust that quiet strength in myself too. I admire my children for having the courage to be authentically themselves—good, kind people living from their hearts. I love Pico Iyer's writings—he articulates the world so poetically and beautifully. And Yvon Chouinard, for showing that business and life can be driven by values, not just profit. His courage to live authentically, challenge the status quo, and leave the world better than he found it. 

 An idea that deserves more attention?

We live in a world obsessed with optics. Outer aesthetics get all the airtime while mental and emotional wellbeing quietly crumbles. True nourishment isn't what we see on the outside—it's mindset, habits, and the small daily practices that feed our bodies, minds, and emotions. These build confidence, resilience, and real vitality, regardless of age or appearance.Midlife brings layers of loss and transition: ageing bodies, shifting careers, empty nests, divorce, unraveling family structures. Returning to what's happening on the inside—cultivating practices that strengthen mental health and regulate our nervous system—keeps us grounded, keeps us human, and gives us agency over our own lives.

What's something exciting you're working on?

2026 will see the addition of The Big Think Day to my programs—a 1:1 retreat designed as a strategic pause to realign values, activate strengths, and map out meaningful shifts. I'm also launching Pieces of Me: A Woman's Guide to Getting Her Groove Back, an online program weaving together coaching, breathwork, food, and community. Nourishing ourselves isn't rocket science—but having a supportive community to lean on changes everything. instagram: @moorenourishinglife
