It's finally time! The first Episode is here and it's full of insights. 
I am talking about the first part of my story, which is why I am doing what I am doing today and how I got through it. 

As I will go deeper into this in different episodes later this is really only the "short" version of it.

Dive into it and get to know me better. Me, that's Monique, your host of UNLIMITED U - The Podcast for Power Women, and I am so incredibly happy to have you here.  

This is my very first time doing a podcast so excuse my funny weird very often use of "uhm" and "like" - I promise it'll be better with the coming episodes ;)

Join me on the journey of creating something unique to Empower Women worldwide to find their voice, creating the strength to push through the harsh and tough phases in life that sometimes hit us like a wrecking ball by telling these fascinating stories of Women who overcame adversity and have made it through with amazing strength.

Unlimited U - The Podcast for Power Women

Episode 1 - Monique's Story Part 1

- An Interview with Tricia Brouk

For my very first #PowerWomenTalk Episode I have an amazing guest on my show: Tricia Brouk. Tricia is a #PowerWoman herself and works as Director/Writer/Choreographer/Tedx Organizer.
Tricia is currently working on Mothers and Daughters a documentary style theater piece on the complex relationships of Mother and Daughters.

In addition to working in the entertainment industry, Tricia Brouk applies her expertise as a director and writer for film, television and theater to the art of Big Talks and Keynotes. She nurtures speakers using the same techniques she does with actors by guiding them to become their most vulnerable selves in order to truly connect with their audience. She offers speakers a new point of view on what a Big Talk can be and how to achieve their goal, and often times, their dream, of taking a Big stage.

Episode 4 - When Life hits you unexpected - Abortion while Traveling

- The Inspiring Story from Denise (Travelous Mind)

What if you found out that your life may be over by the end of your 30th birthday?

Denise was born with a chronic illness called Cystic Fibrosis and has been told very early in her life that she might not live longer than 30years.

Knowing this can be a huge burden and a mental block - or you can live your life just like Denise in freedom and to the fullest. On her Facebook Page you can see her beautiful profile photo and her description that states the following quote:

“If you can’t believe in miracles, then believe in yourself. When you want something bad enough, let that drive push you to make it happen. Sometimes you’ll run into brick walls that are put there to test you. Find a way around them and stay focused on your dream. Where there’s a will, there’s a way.”

― Isabel Lopez



Having known Denise for a bit now, I know this quote is 100% hers. If it wasn't Isabel Lopez that said it, Denise would have been the one.

Listen to her inspiring story of how she is dealing with her chronic illness, what brought her to travel as much as possible and what she is writing about on her blog Travelous Mind.



Denise has also a new project that we are going to talk about and I am SUPER excited to be able to support her and spreading the word. Don't miss out and tune in to find out what big project is coming soon!

 

Side Information

What is Cystic Fibrosis? The Mayo Clinic provides a great overview on their website:

"Cystic fibrosis is an inherited disorder that causes severe damage to the lungs, digestive system and other organs in the body.

Cystic fibrosis affects the cells that produce mucus, sweat and digestive juices. These secreted fluids are normally thin and slippery. But in people with cystic fibrosis, a defective gene causes the secretions to become sticky and thick. Instead of acting as a lubricant, the secretions plug up tubes, ducts and passageways, especially in the lungs and pancreas."

Episode 5 - Life and Traveling with a Chronic Illness

- A success story with Amanda Boleyn

Recently mentioned in Inc.com by Neil Patel, Amanda's Podcast for Female Entrepreneurs was just rated one of the "Top 13 Entrepreneur Podcasts you should be listening to right now".



Neil says:

"The number of female entrepreneurs is growing every year, which is fantastic. Today, 18% of startups have at least one female founder. This podcast brings in a necessary perspective, speaking with successful female entrepreneurs on a weekly basis. It's a terrific dive that gets away from all the tech podcasts that are out there, providing insight from a diverse group of startups and entrepreneurs."

But how does one get so far? And what are the ambitions to strive rather than just survive? Our this week's interview with the amazing Amanda Boleyn gives amazing insights into a Success Story that started 2012 when she left Corporate America to be her own boss.

Amanda works as a freelance consultant, specifying in sales, employee engagement and leadership development training. Over the years of working as a Solopreneur she developed her love of storytelling and combined her knowledge and passion in early 2015 into the amazing She Did It Her Way Podcast
