Recently, I received an email from an ex-husband.

He said, since he hadn’t heard from me on his birthday, something must be wrong and I should call him.

We’ve been divorced for twenty years.

Now how weird is that?


Except… I know how it happened.

The old Monica—the one before she reclaimed, reinvented, and reignited her relationship with her soul—would’ve done exactly what he asked.

Not because I wanted to.

Because I didn’t even know I had a choice.

It was that deep. The programming, the performance, the pressure to be nice.


I deleted the email.

That was my reply.

Want to read the rest?

This essay is about the moment I stopped being Convenient Monica.

About what I learned when I chose myself over someone else’s comfort—and what happened to my nervous system when I finally stopped negotiating with myself to stay small.
