Episode notes

Join me on The ThriveWell Journey podcast as Monique Gibson shares her powerful transformation from military veteran and Pentagon employee to purpose-driven entrepreneur.

After 20+ years navigating toxic corporate environments, surviving two devastating layoffs, and battling the "angry black woman" stereotype in the workplace, Monique discovered that working harder wasn't the answer—healing was.

In this raw conversation about corporate burnout, workplace discrimination, toxic leadership, and sustainable entrepreneurship, Monique reveals how executive coaching, self-reflection, and letting go of perfectionism helped her rebuild relationships with her family, escape the hustle culture trap, and create a thriving consulting business.
