About host
Hi, I’m Rebecca-Monique: an ICF accredited (PCC) grief and trauma coach, and coach supervisor. My work is centred around supporting individuals through their healing and growth.
My specialist areas are grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction, sense of Self (identity), boundaries and confidence. My modes of coaching are somatic (i.e. embodied awareness) and transformational (i.e. a focus on attitudes, values, beliefs, behaviours, etc.).
I have particular interests in social sciences and human-centred disciplines, including psychology, psycholinguistics, sociology, spirituality and philosophy.
I live in London, UK with my son (who is also blessed with the awesomeness that is hyphenated first names!).
You can find out more about my personal journey and what led me to becoming a coach here, and here.

Hi, I’m Rebecca-Monique – an ICF accredited coach and coach supervisor – and these are my passing thoughts.
H Jackson Brown Jr shares 705 nuggets of wisdom in his book Life’s Little Instruction Book. It was initially a gift to his son who was going away to college at the time. Here’s some of his advice and reminders:
42. Don’t postpone joy.
59. Live so that when your children think of fairness, caring, and integrity, they think of you.
61. Admit your mistakes.
265. Leave everything a little better than you found it.
292. Remember that a successful marriage depends on two things: (1) finding the right person and (2) being the right person.
293. See problems as opportunities for growth and self-mastery.
298. Judge your success by the degree that you’re enjoying peace, health, and love.
323. Instead of using the words “if only”, try substituting the words “next time”.
324. Instead of using the word “problem”, try substituting the word “opportunity”.
349. Evaluate yourself by your own standards, not someone else’s.359. Know when to keep silent.
360. Know when to speak up.
399. Don’t let your possessions possess you.
493. After you’ve worked hard to get what you want, take the time to enjoy it.
546. When you lose, don’t lose the lesson.
590. Don’t confuse comfort with happiness.
595. Don’t cut corners.
693. Never tell a person who’s experiencing deep sorrow, “I know how you feel.” You don’t.
This week, I have a three-part question, inspired by number 530: Remember that everyone you meet is afraid of something, loves something, and has lost something.
- What do you fear the most?
- What comes to mind first when you think of 3 things you love?
- What’s been your greatest loss?
Speak to you next week. Until then, be well.
