In this episode, Idelys dives into how different cultures approach life after work — from Spain’s slow evenings to the Caribbean’s joyful gatherings and why so many of us in the U.S. have forgotten how to truly live... opens up about navigating burnout, uncertainty, and the pressure to stay grateful when life won’t slow down.

It’s time to shift from survival mode to presence, from autopilot to awareness. Because we weren’t created to just work and recover — we were meant to live. 🤍

Takeaways

• In other countries, people live after work.
• Life isn't rushed in cultures like Spain and France.
• In the Caribbean, socializing is a way of life after work.
• Many people in the U.S. go into autopilot after work.
• We need to learn how to exist without constant doing.
• Our parents' survival mindset shaped their energy.
• The current generation must focus on living, not just surviving.
• Cultural differences impact our approach to work and leisure.
• Overthinking and stress are common post-work experiences.
• Finding balance is essential for mental health.

Y’all… I recorded this one sick 😩 — stuffy-nose, Dominican-remedy, still-showing-up energy. But sometimes that’s what life is about: showing up anyway.

From chaotic Chicago Ubers to a stranger’s heartbreak that reminded me how rare real listening is… this episode is your reminder that kindness doesn’t cost a thing — and listening is love. 🩵

✨ MON Moments You’ll Hear:
00:45 – Fall-girl weather & Dominican Saca Gripe 😂
02:15 – Paloma’s “Columbus Day off” story
04:50 – Chicago Uber chaos & hotel hell (Dominican edition)
12:00 – The Colombian driver who made me cry 🥺
15:30 – Faith moment: Galatians 6:2 — carry each other’s burdens

Take a breath. Choose kindness on purpose — toward others and yourself.
Because you can be soft and still strong.
You can be tired and still show up.
And you can be human and still healing.

You ever notice how life sometimes feels like a mash-up between Happy Gilmore and The Pursuit of Happiness? One minute you’re laughing through the chaos, the next you’re holding it together with faith and fumes.

This week, I talk about the beauty in failure — how hitting rock bottom can actually bring you closer to your purpose. I share the lessons, the laughs, and the little reminders that even your lowest moments are part of God’s bigger plan.

Because faith still works at rock bottom — and so do you.

Takeaways

• Life can feel like a mix of comedy and drama.
• Sometimes, the detour is the destination.
• Rock bottom can be a place of freedom and growth.
• Failure is not the end, but a beginning.
• Purpose doesn't retire; it evolves with us.

• Every setback shapes your story.
• You're not starting over; you're starting wiser.

• Your roots can grow again, even after being cut.

MONtivation is the pettiest ghost I know — she hypes you up, then disappears like Danny Phantom. 👻

This week, I talk about how MONtivation ghosted me (again), the chaos of 7 p.m. Friday emails, and why I’m done chasing “vibes.”

Instead, I’m building habits that align with Hebrews 12:11 — because discipline is the real love letter to your future self.

Still showing up, even when MONtivation doesn’t. 💙

Takeaways:
• Motivation is fleeting — habits are sustainable.
• Discipline feels heavy now but turns into blessings later.
• Small daily habits > big occasional goals.
• Self-love is doing what your future self will thank you for.
• Plant seeds today that grow into tomorrow’s peace.
• Heaven notices the quiet sacrifices no one else sees. ✨

Society loves to say you’re late — too old for this, too behind for that. But here’s the truth: you’re not late. You’re right on time for what God has planned.

This week on MON, we laugh through chaos (my nephew locked out like a lost Amazon package + your Uber breakdown MON story), then dive into the spider vs. web metaphor, accountability, and therapy. I unpack how family pressures and timelines can weigh on us, but why God’s forecast always overrides society’s deadlines.

We close with scripture, affirmations, and a reset for October — because even if the world says you’re behind, you’re still standing, still showing up, and right on time. 💙

takeaways

• Busyness can often disguise itself as productivity.
• Identifying the root causes of stress is crucial for growth.
• Accountability is not about guilt, but about ownership of one's life.
• Therapy can provide valuable insights into personal challenges.
• Societal pressures can create unrealistic timelines for individuals.

• It's important to trust your own journey and timeline.
• Resetting at the end of the month can help refocus goals.
• Recognizing and addressing the 'spiders' in our lives is key to progress.
• Embracing affirmations can foster a positive mindset.

It’s the first day of fall — and it just so happens to land on a Monday. A whole new season starting on Monday Over Negativity. 🍁

In this episode, I’m talking about what needs to fall: old habits, broken trust, and self-doubt. From Instacart fails (cat food and busted blueberries), to a gas pump breakdown, to family chaos that felt like a sitcom — September tested me. But through it all, God reminded me that alignment is greater than effort.

We’ll unpack the phases of alignment (new moon, quarter moon, full glow), share your hilarious MON stories (yes, including the candle instead of coffee), and remind ourselves that even in the dark phases, you’re still aligned and still showing up.

Takeaways:

• Even the leaves have to fall to make room for something new.

• You're not your labels or nicknames.
• Every phase of life has its purpose.
• Trust the season you're in.

• Embrace change as a part of growth.

• Worrying about tomorrow distracts us from today.
• You don't need to compete for your place in life.

• Every challenge is an opportunity for growth.

This episode invites listeners to laugh, reflect, and share their own MON moments — because this space is all about community, grace, and still showing up.
