"How is your regulation? Before you push harder, check in with your BODY."

More events. More interviews. More hustle. More ambition.

But are you REGULATED?
Are you RESTING?

Because if you're not, you're heading straight for burnout. You're going to hit the wall.

We're told to keep pushing. Keep hustling. But nobody tells us to LISTEN to our bodies. To restore BEFORE we push.

Restoration isn't optional. It's the FOUNDATION.

If you don't rest, you won't maintain the goals you're chasing. You won't understand where they're leading. You'll just collapse before you get there.

At the All Women Summit, we're prioritizing regulation and restoration—BEFORE the push.

Because sustainable success requires it.
Ready to stop hustling yourself into burnout?

You don’t need another self-improvement plan.

You need permission.

Permission to move without performing.
Permission to release without explaining.
Permission to regulate without overthinking it.

Give Yourself Permission™ to Dance isn’t a workout.
It’s a nervous system reset set to intentional sound.

We’ll move.
We’ll regulate.
We’ll remember what it feels like to be in our bodies — not just in our heads.

Rooftop. Sunlight. Community.
And yes… you can stay for the market after.

If your week has been heavy, this is your exhale.

Sunday | The Duce | 11:30 AM

Chills.

Still reliving the magic of our Sonic Immersion at The Duce for Galentine’s weekend. ✨

The music. The movement. The collective exhale.
A room full of women choosing presence over pressure.

These are the moments that remind me healing isn’t always quiet, sometimes it’s rhythmic, embodied, and shared.

If you were there, you felt it.
If you missed it… stay tuned.

More experiences are coming. And they only get better from here. 💫

"Box breathing: 4 seconds in. 4 seconds hold. 4 seconds out. That's it."

You can do this in your car between drop-offs and pickups. Between meetings in your office. Anywhere. Anytime.

This is mindfulness. This is regulation.

And if you want to level it up? Add gratitude.
While you breathe, think of 1, 2, 3 things you're thankful for, from the day or FOR the day.

That overlap is powerful.

Your nervous system regulates. Your mind grounds. Your perspective shifts.
All from a simple breathing technique you can do ANYWHERE.

At the All Women Summit, we're teaching women practical tools like this—regulation, mindfulness, and gratitude—that actually FIT into real life.
Ready to breathe, ground, and reset?

Mental strength has been misunderstood for way too long.

It’s not silence.
It’s not nonstop productivity.
And it definitely isn’t pretending you don’t feel anything.

Real strength looks like emotional movement, rest without guilt, boundaries without apology, and vulnerability without armor.

That’s not weakness.
That’s regulation.
That’s mastery.

Strong people don’t harden.
They stay honest.

Movie soundtracks are therapy in disguise.

Strings rise → emotion activates.
Resolution lands → tension releases.

You weren’t being dramatic.
Your nervous system was following the score.

In my latest blog, I present a simple framework I use with patients: The Dopamine Menu. This includes “appetizers” (2–5 minutes), “mains” (20–60 minutes), along with “desserts” and “specials.” This framework provides real options for when your energy and executive function are low.

To feel good without burning out, consider scheduling 3 appetizers, 2 mains, and 1 special for this week. Comment below if this technique works for you! For more resources and tools, you can check out my store, which has additional free tools: https://monviemindwellness.com/store

Your brain is not “lazy” for wanting quick comfort, it’s wired for reward. In 2026, when every app is engineered for compulsion, building intentional pleasure is a mental health skill. The goal isn’t to eliminate dopamine (you can’t, and you shouldn’t). It’s to stop outsourcing your ne...

This Valentine’s weekend, we’re creating space for connection, movement, and nervous system reset at The Duce in Phoenix.

On February 15, Yoga With April and Dr. Mona Amini, MD (Not Your Typical Psychiatrist™) are teaming up for a wellness experience designed to help you slow down, reconnect, and leave feeling lighter — whether you attend with a partner, a friend, or on your own.

What to expect:
• 10:30 AM — All-levels grounding yoga with April
• Sound healing support by Moonchild Healing Collective
• 12:00 PM — Sonic Immersion with Dr. Mona, a mindfulness-forward music experience focused on decompression, regulation, and recharge

Between sessions, guests are invited to stay, connect, and enjoy brunch, coffee, mocktails or cocktails, curated vendors, and the vibrant community energy The Duce is known for.

Important note:
Yoga and Sonic Immersion are two separate experiences and tickets are sold separately.
To attend both, guests must purchase a yoga ticket and a separate Sonic Immersion ticket.

Whether this becomes a Valentine’s date, a best-friend outing, or a personal reset, this experience is an invitation to be present — and to prioritize well-being in a meaningful way.

Not every “I can’t stop thinking about them” is love.
Sometimes it’s just cortisol with good timing.

If your heart was racing, your gut was anxious,
and your peace was missing...
that wasn’t passion.

That was your nervous system screaming for rest.
Choose safety. Choose calm. Choose better.

Fashion isn’t “just” style: It’s strategy.

In my latest blog, “Fashion as Armor: Outfits That Amplify Your Inner Strength,” I explore how intentional wardrobe choices can reinforce confidence, focus, and emotional steadiness, especially on high-stakes or high-stress days.

Consider structured power pieces like blazers and tailored trousers, tactile textures such as cashmere, leather, and silk, and statement details that serve as daily cues of self-respect and readiness.

If you’ve ever noticed how the right outfit can change your posture, mindset, and presence then this one’s for you.

Try it this week: Pick one structured, tactile, or statement piece and wear it with intention. Notice what shifts.
