Hey everyone, I'm Monique, the host of The Great Life Experiment.
If you've ever felt like you're navigating a messy career, a chaotic life, or just trying to figure out what's next, then you're in the right place.
My own journey has been full of twists and turns – from unexpected career pivots to the beautiful challenge of balancing it all. I get what it feels like to not have it all figured out, and that's exactly why I started this podcast. I wasn’t hearing any one podcast talking about the personal side of things plus our careers and then relevant conversations about the changing world of business.
I've spent my career building products, leading teams, and making decisions that impact people and I'm still actively engaged in the corporate space.
The Great Life Experiment is for those of us who believe that life isn't a straight line, but a series of experiments. We're here to embrace the messiness, learn from our experiences, and build lives and careers that truly resonate with who we are.
I'm eager to explore the changing world of business and leadership, and how we can all thrive in this evolving landscape. I'm committed to creating a community where we can all feel seen, supported, and empowered to take the next step – whatever that may be.
So, let's dive in, explore, and experiment together!
Always,
MRS
