#37 Clarify, Experiment, Move. 3 Product Lessons for Life & Business.
What if the same principles that build great products could help you build a life that feels more aligned, intentional, and alive?
In this episode, Monique reflects on the unexpected ways product thinking has shaped the way she creates, leads, and makes decisions that matter. She shares how the principles of discovery and design apply not just to business, but to family rhythms, unfinished ideas, and the quiet callings that never seem to fade.
Through honest insight and practical wisdom, Monique invites you to rethink how you approach your own “soulful idea” and to start designing a life that can actually hold it. Because sometimes the difference between stuck and starting again isn’t more time or talent, but learning to see your life as the most important thing you’ll ever build. Let’s dive in!
In this episode:
(01:28) - The intersection of product and life
(02:09) - Defining the problem you are solving for
(02:52) - Applying product thinking to home projects and priorities
(05:31) - Using AI wisely: how prompts shape your outcome
(07:10) - Discovery and Design - why iteration matters
(09:01) - The “Soulful Idea” and the struggle with capacity
(12:09) - Sneak Peek of The Great Life Experiment Sprint
(13:50) - Progress, not perfection - embracing constraints
