In her latest book, RETHINK LOVE, she uses years of personal experience teaching and counseling to eradicate false belief systems around love and relationships.\\n Monica is a mother, wife, sister, teacher, and friend, who integrates all that she is into her mission and as Chief Communications Officer of The Kabbalah Centre, she integrates her personal mission with this ancient wisdom.\\n Monica was born and raised in Louisiana before moving to Los Angeles. At 17, she began studying Kabbalah and knew very quickly that this was her path, eventually leading her to the serendipitous meeting of Michael Berg, her now-husband of 21 years.\\xa0\\n During her teen years, Monica developed an eating disorder that grew into a five-year battle with anorexia and body dysmorphia. With her recovery came a better understanding of the disease and a passion to help others.\\xa0\\n However, it wasn\\u2019t until her second child was born that Monica had to reevaluate her own belief system. Her son, Joshua, was diagnosed with Down Syndrome shortly after his birth, which was life-changing for Monica and her family. The diagnosis led to Monica\\u2019s credo, \\u201cIn change, there is great power,\\u201d and the choice to believe in the beauty and potential of who her son could become and subsequently who she could become.\\xa0\\n Monica aims to challenge people and encourages them to reframe what they think they know and she\\u2019s seen the results of rethinking first hand. Monica learns from her students as often as they from her. \\u201cI\\u2019m inspired by everyone that I come into contact with,\\u201d Monica says, \\u201cEveryone has something valuable to share and we can derive meaning from each encounter.\\u201d\\n When she\\u2019s not writing, lecturing, or working with students at the centre, Monica contributes her time and voice to Habitat for Humanity and Something For Kelly. While she is passionate about helping all people feel empowered, she is especially committed to organizations that support women, particularly those with a mission focused on overcoming eating disorders.\\n Monica currently resides in New York City with her husband Michael and their children David, Joshua, Miriam, and Abigail.\\xa0 Her second book, Rethink Love,\\xa0 will be out on February 11, 2020.'
