Monica\u2019s southern charm is sweeter than sweet tea! She\u2019s one of the most intentional encouragers I know, and she coined the term \u201cKathrynisms\u201d where she texts and inspires me with my own words from several of my podcast episodes. While her job entails administering MRIs, she\u2019ll tell you that her calling and greatest joy is raising her two beautiful children, and quite uniquely at that as her son has autism and is mostly nonverbal. She was raised Jehovah\u2019s Witness and had several faith and perspective changes into her adult life that led to confusion and making some harmful and dangerous life choices. After getting more stable in her faith journey, she began to make wiser and healthier decisions and she wants to instill the worth and belonging in her kids what she yearned for. A primary form of therapy for Monica and a source of solace is her plants\u2026 boocoos of them! If you\u2019re lucky, you may even get one of them as she has plenty to share and her love language is gifts!
