Ep 01: The secret sauce of mastering your story, designing your life, and unleashing your inner unicorn
My name is Monique (you can call me Mo), and I am so glad that you've discovered the Unconditioned Mode podcast. Whether you are a student, artist, entrepreneur, or [insert your favorite label here] who has always dreamed bigger, you are in good company. I take a lot of pride in being “too complex to categorize” (and you should too), but I identify as multi-passionate storyteller, philosopher, super-connector, self-growth coach, and connoisseur of exceptional vibes.
The Unconditioned Mode podcast is my attempt to synthesize the insights and tools I've gained from my wide range of educational, personal, and professional experiences. My limitless curiosity about people and places brought me from Opelousas, Louisiana to Princeton University, followed by a three year stint in Seoul, South Korea. There, I had my hands in a bit of everything, including…
Leading creative direction (and everything else) at a media startup
Hosting Louisiana-inspired food and drink pop-ups
Teaching diversity and inclusion design thinking workshops
Dancing in clubs and a traveling variety show (not stripping lol)
Academic editing and private tutoring for international students
Basically, those were my years of saying “Yes!” Since then, I've been shaking things up in Houston, Texas, doing (you guessed it!) a bit of everything. No matter my location, I'm a global citizen at heart.
This colorful range of entrepreneurial and creative experiences has taught me that no matter where you are from, your story is your most valuable currency. I help people share their stories with creativity and clarity that unlocks massive value, whatever that means to them.
