This week's episode is a special one. 💫

I'm taking you behind the scenes of a weekend I'll never forget—from my executive coordinator Tiffany coming into town, to attending the Pour Minds live show, to the honor of being handpicked to speak on The Calling Series hosted by Kara.

I'm sharing what it felt like to step onto that stage, the fear that came with walking into a new level, and the gratitude I have for everyone who helped make it possible. Because while people often see the finished product, they don't always see the prayers, preparation, support, and community behind the scenes.

If you've ever questioned whether your story matters or wondered if you're ready for the opportunities in front of you, this episode is your reminder to keep showing up. Purpose has a way of opening doors when you're willing to walk through them.

Thank you for being part of this journey. This is only the beginning. 🤍

Some weeks don't go according to plan... and this was one of them.

From work burnout and canceled guests to celebrating my daughter's 16th birthday, building my new workspace, and learning to give myself grace, this episode is a reminder that life doesn't stop just because you're building a dream.

Join Ashley Moniique as she talks about navigating the unexpected, protecting your peace, and continuing to build—even when life be lifin'.

Because growth isn't always found in the perfect weeks... sometimes it's found in the ones that stretch us the most.

From humble beginnings to building a business of her own, Jada Monae's story is a testament to what can happen when faith, consistency, and self-belief come together.

In this episode of Too Authentic Podcast, Ashley Moniique sits down with entrepreneur, nail technician, and newlywed Jada Monae for a real and inspiring conversation about her journey in the beauty industry. Jada shares how she started by simply doing feet, built her confidence over time, and eventually stepped out on faith to leave the traditional salon setting and open her own suite.

Together, they discuss the highs and lows of entrepreneurship, overcoming self-doubt, navigating challenges behind the scenes, and staying committed to a vision even when the road isn't easy. Jada also opens up about the role her faith has played throughout her journey, the lessons she's learned about trusting God's timing, and what this new season of marriage has taught her about partnership, purpose, and growth.

This episode is a reminder that success doesn't happen overnight. It is built through perseverance, obedience, and showing up for yourself even when you're uncertain of the outcome. Whether you're building a business, pursuing a dream, or simply trying to trust the process, Jada's story will encourage you to keep going.

Because sometimes the greatest glow-up isn't just in your business,it's in the woman you're becoming along the way.
