Episode 188-- Monica Mangelson -- Connection, Leadership, and Embracing Change

Stacked Keys Podcast

Monica Mangelson, a certified life coach with a fervor for neuroscience and adventure, joins us on the Stacked Keys Podcast to share how an understanding of the brain can transform personal growth journeys, especially for individuals with ADHD. Discover how Monica’s blend of psychology, applied neuroscience, and real-world experiences create a powerful toolkit for setting goals and staying motivated with the help of external reminders. We explore life coaching as a forward-moving practice, distinct from therapy, that steers individuals from where they are to where they aspire to be.
We also delve into Monica's transformative journey from a conservative upbringing to a minimalist, nomadic lifestyle. Our conversation highlights the emotional and financial benefits of flexible living, the importance of genuine connections over material possessions, and the art of balancing personal and professional life on the road. Monica's insights into maintaining relationships while traveling and her commitment to a minimalist lifestyle underscore the power of living with intention and embracing change as a digital nomad.
Explore the complexities of leadership and the importance of following one's intuition. Monica shares her experiences of finding love through shared adventures, trusting gut instincts, and maintaining positivity despite entrepreneurial challenges. We discuss leading by example, the subtleties of guiding others without imposing beliefs, and the joy of living authentically. Join us for a light-hearted, yet profound conversation that embodies the spirit of stomping to your own rhythm and embracing life’s unpredictable journey with courage and grace.
