You’ve been taught all your life that wanting more is selfish or greedy, leading you to suppress your true desires and settle for less—in your life, relationships, and even in how you see yourself. But deep down, you know this isn’t who you are. That yearning inside you isn’t wrong; it’s a call to break free from these limiting beliefs and step into the abundant, fulfilling life of a High Standards Woman. You’re not here to settle—you’re here to demand more, live boldly, and make your dreams a reality. And I’m here to guide you on that journey, helping you reclaim your power and fully embrace your identity as a High Standards Woman.

Star Monroe, on demand Psychotherapist, Master Life Coach, and Founder of The High Standards Woman, invites you to step into your High Standards Woman Era. Embrace your transformation into an unapologetically confident woman who knows her worth and always gets what she wants.

Create your very own love affair with your fabulous self. Join the next round of The Love Affair—a 30-day experiment in you dating yourself so you can unleash your inner Goddess. We start on May 2nd. All the details are here: https://www.msstarmonroe.com/theloveaffair

You're not here to fade into the background or drown in self-pity. You're here to own your space as an iconic older woman and embrace your body with fierce, unapologetic confidence.

You've got one body in this life. It's high time to end the internal war and sync up with yourself. Your body isn't your enemy; she's your wise and loyal ally, your partner in crime. She's screaming for your recognition, for you to see her, to care for her. Each day, you're one step closer to the end. So, what's it gonna be? Whining, bitching, and pointing fingers? Or will you rise and see yourself as the damn goddess you are?

Your body is your tool for self-expression, self-care, movement, energy, and inspiration. She's begging you to stop guzzling the toxic kool-aid of self-doubt and self-hate. She's not broken; she's your vessel for Main Character Energy. Your mission is to forge a deeper connection with her—her emotions, her sensations, her skin, her texture. She's desperate to be seen and embraced by you.

If the thought of self-love seems like a mountain, start with neutrality. Quit wasting your time hating yourself and feeding the beast of societal norms. Your body is sacred, a goddess in her own right. She wants to be moved, adorned in the best, and showered with love. She'll always communicate when she's exhausted, starving, pissed off, or ecstatic. Your job? Listen and act.

Feeling ignored or dismissed? Time to look in the mirror. Where are you neglecting your own needs? Building a trust bond with your body is crucial. Honour her, respect her. Believe me, battling with your body gets you nowhere. I've been down that road of self-destruction—addiction, alcoholism, eating disorders, mental breakdowns. It's a dead end.

Your body is constantly speaking to you, waiting for you to drench her in love, adoration, and respect. This is the ultimate relationship you'll ever have—the one with yourself, starting with your body. You're not a bystander. Step up as an iconic older woman. Cherish your body, raise your standards, and stop the negative self-talk. You're either building yourself up or tearing yourself down.

I took my private client (she was on retreat with me in Turkey) to Gocek and I spied a gorgeous jewellery shop where I spied 3 gold rings.

Yes, I bought them and put them on my ring finger.

Can't make a decision?

One of the things I talk about A LOT is the fact that our culture has brainwashed us into believing we have to approach all our problems from our thinking minds.

But what if I told you there was another way?

Yes, we can solve a lot of our problems from thinking BUT we have so much untapped wisdom in our bodies.

When I studied to be a Body Psychotherapist I was both astounded and in absolute awe of the wisdom, our bodies hold.

You see there are seven wisdom centres of the body. Here are four of them....

Head - rational, logical (where most of you reside)

Heart - emotional

Gut - feeling, intuition

Pelvis - instinctive

I like to think of these wisdom centres as the board directors of my life. Each one (when we tune in them) will give us information that we can use.

So when I feel confused or stuck with something in my life I know I don't have to rely just on my logical brain but can pull in what my heart, gut and pelvis think about a particular issue.

This gives me SO much more information and wisdom and stops me feeling stuck and spinning my wheels.

How cool is that!

And if you want to try it out yourself all you need to do is be willing to listen to what these wisdom centres have to say to you.

Yes, I understand it will be a bit weird to start off with, but stay with it. If you want to stop the endless cycle of self-doubt, frustration and overwhelm it's essential you strengthen the connection between your mind and body (pssst this is what we do in my world).

The daily habits of a high-value woman can make or break your day. It's time to delve into the power of morning rituals that can transform your life from ordinary to extraordinary.

Over the years, I've experimented with various morning rituals, and the results have been nothing short of transformative. Committing to these rituals has brought me clarity, focus, and a surge of self-assurance.

Here's the secret sauce to my morning routine:

Greeting Myself: The moment I wake up, I take a breath and greet myself with a simple "Hello, how are you?" This small act of self-recognition is crucial for building a deeper relationship with myself, the driving force behind my life.

Morning Pages: Fuelled by coffee and a fresh mindset, I dive into my morning pages, a concept inspired by Julia Cameron's "The Artist's Way." This involves writing three pages of unfiltered thoughts, a practice that's essential for navigating life with more clarity.

Weeding Out Doubts: As I write, I unearth the 'weeds' of doubts and fears lurking beneath the surface. I also consult the I Ching, my personal oracle, to address any simmering self-doubt. Remember, embracing the first doubt is like the first sip for an alcoholic – it's a slippery slope.

Crafting the Day: After this stream of consciousness exercise, I map out my day, focusing on how I want to feel and setting affirmations. I seek support, protection, and guidance from my angels, sages, ancestors, and my version of God.

Gratitude and Love Ritual: I wrap up my morning ritual with a gratitude practice, expressing thanks to the greater intelligence for its support and reaffirming my commitment to self-love and serving my needs.

Here's your invitation: Reflect on how you start your day. If it's with your phone, it's time for a change (and fast!). Start by greeting yourself in bed and commit to this practice for 21 days. Patience and commitment are the hallmarks of a high-value woman – it's all about devotion to oneself. Are you ready to elevate your morning routine and embrace your high-value self?

Stay fucking fabulous!

Let’s dive into the evening edition of romancing the heck out of your life.

Firstly, in your house, I bet there are things you’re saving for ‘best’. Well, guess what? Best is now. That cutlery, dress, china, those fancy tablecloths, the plush duvet covers – use them now. When I embraced this in my life, everything changed. A side note: since moving from the UK to Turkey last year, everything in my home is the best, and I use it every single day. It makes me feel like an empress, a queen. You should do it too.

Secondly, you don’t have to splurge a fortune, unless you want to. Light those candles, especially that fancy one your aunt gave you years ago. Let its aroma – or ‘throw’ as they call it – envelop your room.

And here's a good one: every meal you prepare for yourself, do it with love and intention. Pour your heart into your cooking because it infuses the food with energy, which then nourishes your body. By treating yourself like an empress, like a queen, you take ownership of your life in the most empowering way.

So, give it a go and let me know how it works out for you. I'm here to support you in romancing the life out of your life because I know, once you do, everything shifts in your favour.

So, let's get real here. If you want to reclaim your sexy at midlife, you need to be aware of the brainwashing that has infiltrated your system. It's time to disrupt and agitate it, break free, and choose how you claim your sexy in midlife. What does sexy mean to me? Freedom, embodiment, emotional awareness, and conscious communication. Taking care of my body, embracing my age, and living life on my terms.

The male gaze has conditioned us to see sex as a goal-oriented, fast, and loud act focused on penetration and orgasm. But as we age, this approach may not work anymore. It's time to reject the male gaze and embrace the female gaze. The female gaze is about slowing down, embracing softness, and connecting with our bodies. It's all about the internal sensations, not just the external appearance.

So many women have been brainwashed into believing that sex is all about pleasing men and conforming to unrealistic beauty standards. It's time to reclaim our bodies and desires. Let's stop seeking external validation and focus on pleasing ourselves. Our bodies are beautiful, and there's nothing wrong with them. We need to celebrate and cherish ourselves.

Reclaiming your sexy at midlife is a revolutionary act of empowerment and self-liberation. It's time to break free from age-related stereotypes and demand the freedom to embrace our desires and sexual expression on our own terms. No more conforming to outdated expectations.

The female gaze invites us to tease our senses and prioritize our pleasure. Slow down and connect with your body. Cultivate gourmet sensual experiences with yourself. This journey may challenge you, but there are no rules. Each woman's path is unique. Embrace the female gaze and liberate yourself from the male gaze.

Your libido is your force, your radiance, and magnetism. It's not something that creams or Botox can enhance. Cultivating your libido through the female gaze means embracing your body, accepting and celebrating yourself, and connecting with your desires. This is your birthright, not something to seek external approval for.

It's time to stop living by the old rulebook and embrace your power. Reject the male gaze and celebrate yourself. The most important relationship you'll ever have is the one with yourself. Be your own aphrodisiac, be racy, stimulating, and suggestive with yourself. You don't need anyone else to bring pleasure and joy into your life.

You live in a world that trivializes and dismisses the sexuality of mature women. But it's time to break free from age-related stereotypes and claim your sexy. You are not defined by your youth or appearance. Celebrate your body, your desires, and your power. Reclaim your sexy at midlife, and it's a bold declaration of self-liberation and empowerment.

So let's flip the script and embrace the female gaze. Slow down, connect with your body, and prioritize your pleasure. You don't need to please others or fit into unrealistic standards. This is your journey, your sensuality, and your sexuality. Embrace it and celebrate yourself every step of the way.

If you're intrigued and want to take the next step in your journey, I invite you to join me on my 30-day program. THE LOVE AFFAIR. Let's have a love affair with ourselves and explore our desires. It's time to make some noise and break free from the male gaze.

Reclaim your sexy, my friend, and liberate yourself from the suffocating embrace of societal norms. You deserve to embrace your desires and celebrate yourself fully. Join me on this journey, and together, we'll ignite a wildfire of empowerment and self-liberation. It's time to step into your power and reclaim your...

I fess up.

For years I was totally addicted to all the drama and allllllll the chaos.

But as I have slowly unhooked myself from this way of living (my pseudo-identity) I am discovering that there is another way to live that aligns with who I really am.

And this way of living is seeped in simplicity. And boy, is it challenging.

Because this way of living is asking me to really question everything I've been taught about living.

And I'm so here for it. Because this is what sovereignty looks like to me.

To break free of generational curses and live a life that suits me.

"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication—it may feel paradoxical, but it takes some complex questions to reach it."

The Love Affair. A 30-day experiment where you become the priority in your life by dating yourself every darn day and cultivate the skills to amplify your pleasure by reconnecting to your body. We start 9/9. Come join us.

Welcome to part four of Reclaim Your Sexy At Midlife, where I dive headfirst into the realm of libido and midlife from a distinctly female perspective. If you've missed out on the earlier episodes, no worries, you can always catch up later. In those episodes, I've been exploring how your libido can be a superpower, what might be hindering your journey to reclaim your sexual vitality in midlife, and how to break free from the constraints of the male gaze.

I'm Star Monroe, and this is the Star Monroe Show. Each week, we venture into the world of reinvention, confidence, relationships, and the fascinating topic of sex in midlife. Today, we're delving into what it means to be a formidable woman who fully embraces her sexuality during midlife. Plus, I'll be sharing some tips and tricks on how you can start cultivating this power right away. Stick around because I've got an exclusive invitation coming up for you to join me on a journey of rediscovering your libido and reigniting your midlife passion.

So, who exactly is this dangerous woman in midlife? Well, she's a woman who has nothing left to prove to anyone. How does she reach this level of self-assuredness? By committing herself to knowing who she is and why she does what she does. She's determined to align her choices with her higher self and to communicate consciously with others. She's aware of her desires and unapologetically claims them. There's something profoundly empowering about an older woman who embraces her desires, especially when society suggests that it's time to fade into the background. But let me remind you, you are not invisible, and it's your duty to take up space, reconnect with your deepest desires, and follow your soul's yearnings.

In real life, a dangerous woman is one who takes control of her own joy and pleasure. She prioritizes herself and understands that life isn't about mere survival; it's about thriving. She doesn't wait for permission or validation; she grants those to herself through her daily choices and actions. This isn't just a sporadic practice; it's a lifestyle, a way of celebrating your core essence.

Embracing your desires is a potent act, especially as an older woman. It defies societal norms and liberates you. This kind of freedom allows you to pursue what truly lights you up, take up space, and refuse to become invisible.

But there's more to it. A dangerous woman is authentic. She continually works on herself, which is what makes her so iconic. She shines like a supernova, catching the eye of anyone lucky enough to witness her presence. Don't you want to be that woman?

In life, a dangerous woman isn't afraid to ask for what she wants, whether in business, life, or the bedroom. This self-assuredness makes her magnetic. But here's the kicker: she owns herself in every aspect of life, taking risks, pursuing her dreams, and continuously working on her self-worth.

To become this iconic, self-assured woman, you must start by embracing awakened awareness. Dedicate yourself to knowing who you are and why you make the choices you do. Dive deep into your core wounds and be prepared to course-correct when needed. Self-worth isn't just about affirmations; it's about aligning your actions with your belief in your inherent worth.

Cultivate discipline as a daily practice. Remember, self-worth is an action. Step into your unique rhythm, which will require you to slow down and mindfully find your own path. When you move to the beat of your rhythm, you start choosing your responses to life instead of reacting.

As you connect with your body and find...

Welcome to a world where thriving is your baseline and excellence is your standard. Imagine stepping into a life characterized by sublime confidence, refined elegance, and graceful assertiveness. This isn't just a dream—it's your new reality as The High Standards Woman.

This journey is about profound transformation at your core. As you embrace sovereignty and self-mastery, demand more from yourself, and elevate your emotional energy, you'll witness dramatic changes across all aspects of your life. Envision commanding attention and respect in every room you enter, your presence vibrant and full of life, attracting opportunities as if by magic. This transformation isn't merely about financial improvement; it's about elevating your entire lifestyle where success in health, relationships, and personal fulfillment are natural outcomes.

The ethos of The High Standards Woman goes beyond surface-level changes; it involves a deep, transformative shift in how you see yourself and interact with the world. This transformation paves the way for a life filled with joy, growth, and genuine self-assurance.

I’m Star Monroe, your guide on this journey. I evolved from Main Character Energy to The High Standards Woman because I realized life had more in store than merely surviving. Having embraced my true worth and overcome personal challenges in my 40s, I'm now dedicated to helping you and others flourish.

Are you ready to discover how fulfilling your life can truly become? Join me as we step into the realm of high standards, where your dreams are not just dreams but reflections of your new reality. Stay tuned. This is just the beginning. I can’t wait to embark on this transformative journey with you.

Star Monroe, on demand Psychotherapist, Master Life Coach, and Founder of The High Standards Woman, invites you to step into your High Standards Woman Era. Embrace your transformation into an unapologetically confident woman who knows her worth and always gets what she wants.

Envy is when we want what another person has.

Personally, I love feeling pangs of envy because it is teaching me more about myself.

Rather than focus on what the person other has, I use it as a tool to look deeper within myself and recognise that whatever they have is available for me too.

If you are a midlife woman who wants to feel wildly alive, who wants to create a wild love affair with life then you MUST cultivate the courage, tenacity and confidence to welcome your fears into your world so you can move through them (and not be derailed by them).

Anyone can reinvent themselves on a superficial level. You know the kinda thing; new hairstyle, new body, new clothes. And yes, these will give us an instant injection of happy hormones.

But is this enough to embrace the ever-lasting change/reinvention we crave on a deeper level?

The quick answer is NO.

If you are to break free of your generational curses; people-pleasing, good girl, martyr, self-sabotage as the norm then YOU HAVE TO pierce the top layers of superficiality and get down and dirty with your inner demons and shadows.

From someone on the flip side, this journey ain't easy but it's so worth it.

Oy-ve! I've had a chequered past with booze. In 2015 I taught myself how not to be an alcoholic because I never believed that I was powerless over booze. So, fast forward to today I have a way healthier and conscious relationship with booze. I drink every now and then and occasionally I get super drunk (maybe one day I will stop doing this).

But there are consequences to drinking: my skin looks shit, my bags under my eyes are darker, my body bloats, my anxiety ramps up.

So, I know that drinking all the time doesn't serve my health and wellness.

And my number 1 life elixir is sleep, I have to get 8 - 10 hours of sleep every night. I love to sleep and I have (over the years) created a whole bundle of evening and morning rituals and practices that really support me in my sleep quest AND make me feel much more grounded and calmer during the day.

Dive on in to find out what they are.

Everything you need is right https://stan.store/starmonroe

Hey there, it's Star Monroe from the Star Monroe Show, and I've got a juicy story to share with you about a revelation I had at the gym this morning. It's all about stepping into that main character energy, being confident, unbothered, and exclusive. So let's dive in.

This morning's gym session was a real eye-opener. You see, I've been spicing up my workouts with a hefty dose of stretching and mobility exercises lately. It's absolutely vital, especially after a heavy session of cardio and weights. Why? Because it helps rebalance those ramped-up hormones and brings back a sense of calm and groundedness – something we all need, especially in the whirlwind of midlife.

But today threw me a curveball. Having skipped the gym for five days, my body felt like a stiff board. I faced a crossroads: succumb to frustration or power through. I chose to power through, and slowly but surely, my body began to ease back into its familiar rhythm and flexibility. It was a stark reminder of how important consistency is, not just in the gym, but in life too.

That moment got me thinking about how we approach life, especially in midlife. You see, the key to success in any area – be it fitness, career, or personal growth – is consistent effort and establishing habits that align with the new identity you're forging. Life's a rollercoaster with its ups and downs, but it's how we respond to those dips that define us.

Here's where it gets really interesting. Success, whether you're lifting weights or navigating life's complexities, isn't about viewing setbacks as failures. It's about understanding why things veered off track, adjusting your approach, and then continuing on with renewed vigor and wisdom. Just like my gym routine, life demands adaptability, resilience, and a refusal to give up.

And this brings me to the most crucial point: attitude. It's all about shifting from a mindset of "I can't" to one of "I'm curious." How can you show up as your best self today? This shift in perspective is transformative. It's about taking charge of your narrative, managing your emotions, and being acutely aware of the script you're writing for your own life.

Remember, you're the main character in your story. You hold the pen. You decide the direction and the characters that play a part in it. As we close off 2023 and move into 2024, ask yourself: are you ready to embrace change? Are you prepared to be that woman who radiates confidence, remains unbothered by outside opinions, and lives an exclusive, fulfilling life?

So here's the moral of the story: everything shifts when you change your attitude. Embrace that change, and watch as your life transforms into the story you've always wanted to live.

It's about how you keep the promises you make to yourself

It's about how you take responsibility for your part in this co-creation of your life

It's about owning that fact that YOU AND ONLY YOU can shift and change your life (pssst stop handing things the universe, it doesn't give a shit about you)

It's about how you navigate the pitfalls, the failures, the breakdowns. Oh, and the breakthroughs and ecstatic moments too!

It's about how you go to therapy and heal the wounded parts of your psyche

It's about how you can laugh at yourself and life

It's how you finally understand that your triggers are your teachers

It's about the discipline to stay on course (when everything wants to pulls you off it)

It's about the deep understanding that there are no rules and there is no one path

It's about the connection you have with your body

It's about the connection you have with your wisest self

It's about YOU welcoming all parts of you back home to yourself.

This is what maturity looks like.

I never used to respect money and spent it frivolously and wildly. I used money as a way to show I was worthy. It was something that came into my life but left just as quickly. It was only when declared myself bankrupt 10 years ago, that I deeply transformed my relationship with money.

I have moved through money shame, excessive over-spending, scarcity thinking and trauma and am now out the other side, sharing my wisdom with YOU in my brand new course; Bad Bitch Money School. Create a rock-solid relationship with money in 30 days. Enrolment is now open. School starts 20 March.

If you've been stuck in the good girl or mother energy trap, it's time for a wake-up call. Ambitious midlife women with big dreams can't afford to play small or sacrifice their well-being for others. It's time to kick the good girl and mother energy to the curb and reclaim your power.

Good girls are trained to maintain the status quo, putting everyone else's needs before their own, leading to a life of unfulfilled potential and simmering resentment. Mother energy, while nurturing, can become a drain on your resources when it's all about fixing and saving everyone else but yourself. As iconic older women, we know that our energy is precious, and we must be selective about where we invest it.

Feeling guilty about prioritizing yourself? It's time to challenge that notion. Guilt is often based on outdated societal expectations that don't serve you. It's a mask for deeper emotions like shame and fear. Men don't hesitate to pursue their ambitions, and neither should you. It's time to redefine how you see yourself, shedding the good girl and mother energy and embracing your right to be fabulously selfish.

The journey to realizing your dreams starts with a shift in self-perception. You need to stop seeing yourself as the good girl or the martyr and start embracing your Main Character Energy. You're the star of your show, the A-lister of your life. You need to become obsessed with yourself and recognize that you are indeed the prize.

When you embrace this new identity, you'll notice a shift in how the world responds to you. You'll start to respect your time and energy, and others will follow suit. You'll attract better-caliber friends and partners, command attention without seeking it, and turn heads wherever you go. You'll no longer need external validation because you'll know, deep in your bones, that you are valuable.

You and only YOU can transform your life.

Sometimes in life, you won’t get what you want. Not because there is something better around the corner. Just because life is a tricky mojo and nothing is guaranteed.

Play with this for a moment….

Everything does NOT always happen for a reason

Sometimes life is a shit show for no reason

Life is chaotic, people are unpredictable

Sometimes life is wildly beautiful for no reason

The deeper meaning of Karma

"I show up every day keeping the promises I made to myself

I go to bed at night knowing I've done the best job I can

I release all expectations of what the future may bring (or get better at your relationship with your expectations)

I trust the best people, circumstances and events will come into my life when the time is right."

Join me as I share a fabulously enlightening story about self-worth that centers around one of my favorite activities—shopping! Imagine this: walking into a high-end store and feeling like it might be out of your league. That was me, 18 months ago. But not anymore. Through inner work and shifting beliefs, I transformed that feeling of unease into one of ownership and confidence.

In this tale, I'll take you to a charming town in Turkey, a place where fashion and finesse meet, and where I learned to strut unapologetically through a world that once intimidated me. From uneasy first visits to becoming a queen of the fitting room, my journey is a testament to the power of self-belief. With every espresso and pastry at the adjacent patisserie, I soaked in the ambiance and prepared myself for transformation.

This isn't just about clothes—it's about how we see ourselves in the mirrors of our lives. How shifting from a mindset of lack to one of abundance can change not just how you shop, but how you live. Discover how I went from questioning my worth to knowing deep in my fabulous heart that nothing, absolutely nothing, is out of my league. Because, darling, I am the league.

Tune in and transform how you approach every shop, every opportunity, and every reflection. It’s time to claim your place as the main character in your life story—high value, high worth, and highly fabulous!

When a sudden power outage threw my morning into chaos, I almost let one small slip derail my daily practices and self-discipline. But I quickly realized how easily that one missed routine could snowball into old habits. This is the story of how I stopped myself from sliding back into who I used to be—and recommitted to the High Standards Woman I am today.

Welcome to The Star Monroe Show, with your host, Star Monroe—Psychotherapist, Master Life Coach, and Founder of The High Standards Woman. This is for ambitious women ready to step into their divine sovereignty, own their worth, and attract everything they desire.

For us to reclaim our power in midlife we have to disrupt SO much. In this episode, I dive into body changes, menopause and how to look at these differently so you stay in your power. I also peel the lid back on the anti-ageing, fitness, dieting and fashion industries and how all these industries do not have our best interests at heart. I also talk about pockets! We need more pockets in EVERYTHING.

Gently yet firmly whip your inner critic into submission by whispering sweet nothings into her ear.

Tell her, her words and stories are heard and, that she is welcome here in your world. Invite her to have a seat at your table (with all the other parts of your psyche).

Massage her shoulders, kiss her on her forehead. Tell her you love her and THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART remind her that YOU ARE IN CHARGE here.

Yes, she can share her opinion, yes she will always be heard and yes (you tell her firmly with pure unadulterated love) you will always challenge her words and stories because you both know that underneath everything she says, lies her fears.

And her (your) fears are welcome into your world.

Because YOU, MAIN CHARACTER ENERGY YOU know (DEEP DOWN) that you have the strength, courage and resilience to STRUT through your fears, that your fears are teachers in their own right and you WELCOME them into your world.

Ultimately you know YOU ARE AN EMPRESS OF THE HIGHEST ORDER with Angels, Guardian Spirits and Divine Intelligence on your side and nothing/no one (especially yourself) can get in the way of your BRILLIANCE.

Carry the fuck on EMPRESS.

ALONENESS

It's both a balm for my soul and terribly, terribly painful to endure.

So, rather than fight it (and I can feel parts of me really wanting to fight it).....

I drop into it.

A

L

O

N

E

N

E

S

S

Being alone.

Being on my own.

No one around.

No one to turn to.

No one to banter with.

No one to share my secret jokes with.

No one to judge others with (come on ;) we all judge others)

No one to hold me.

No one to tell me it's ok.

No one to pick up the pieces.

No one to cheer me on.

No one to celebrate me.

NO ONE.

Yet.....

I am here.

Right by my side.

Giving myself everything I desire another to give me.

Life is a tricky mofo.

You never know what's around the corner.

And, here we are.

As we are.

Doing the best we can.

With the resources we have at our disposal.

And when we look within.

It's outstanding to see how much "juice for life" we have bubbling up inside ourselves.

Life is not one way or another way.

Life is presenting itself to you as it is right now.

You can baulk at what you see.

Or you can frolic in the magic, possibilities and opportunities that life is gifting you.

Aloneness it's both a gift and a lesson.

I'm here for it all.

Yours alone <3

® Star Monroe is a midlife psychotherapist and relationship coach helping you create your very own wild love affair with life, love & your libido.

My divorce papers came through from my 2nd husband last April (2022). I was finally free and there was a part of me that was ready to date again. So, in I dived and I quickly discovered dating ain't like it used to be. Dating apps, a lot of people were into hook-ups/situationships, people love to text each other endlessly and never meet up, not to mention the ghosting. Woah! It was rough out there. But I put my best high-heeled foot forward and took one for the team! Let me share my dating and hook-up experiences in my first year and the lessons I've learned along the way.

® Star Monroe is a psychotherapist and midlife dating bestie helping you create your very own wild love affair with life, love & your libido.

If you’re a highly successful, ambitious woman in your 50s and you feel the pull to dive into the depths of who you are, apply to work with me privately. Together, we will rewire you from the inside out, so you become the woman you’ve always wanted to be https://stan.store/starmonroe

If you want to elevate your very existence and stride through life in your Main Character Energy, embrace the mantra: nothing is inconsequential. Everything matters.

How you do anything is how you do everything. On this journey of expansion and growth, every small action builds your life. From making your bed in the morning to greeting yourself, brushing your teeth, making coffee, and journaling—every act matters.

Remember, you are the observer of your mind and thoughts. You are not your thoughts. Your job is to choose the ones that support your growth and let go of those that hold you back. Life isn’t about reaching a final destination; it’s about the journey. Embrace patience, discipline, and the willingness to delve deeper into yourself.

Nothing is inconsequential. Every word and thought shapes your reality. Practice these shifts:

- Instead of saying "I don’t know," say "Let me find out."

- Instead of "I don’t care," say "It doesn’t matter to me."

- Instead of "Tell me," say "I’m listening."

- Instead of "I’m lost," say "I’m exploring."

- Instead of "I’m tired," say "I need to rest."

- Instead of "I think," say "I’m certain."

- Instead of "I’m trying," say "I’m learning."

Nothing is inconsequential. Your thoughts and words matter.

Star Monroe is a Licensed Psychotherapist and Confidence Catalyst, guiding highly successful, ambitious 50+ women who demand more from themselves and life into their Main Character Era. Become an iconic woman who knows her worth and always gets what she wants.

STAY IN YOUR OWN LANE.

What does this mean?

⭐️Keep your focus firmly on yourself.

⭐️Become your main obsession. Channel your energy into your own growth, not fixing or saving others.

⭐️Consistently make yourself a priority.

⭐️Develop the skills to declutter your emotional house.

⭐️Amplify your self-care and wellness rituals. (We are all getting older, and NEED to take better care of ourselves, so get to it)

⭐️Take yourself off the sidelines and stand proudly in the spotlight.

Star Monroe, esteemed Psychotherapist and Confidence Catalyst, guides highly successful women over 50 who demand more from themselves and life, providing the support and guidance they need to uncover insights they can’t see on their own and transform into unapologetically confident women who know their worth and always get what they want.

LET'S TALK MIDLIFE BODY CONFIDENCE.

Throughout my journey back home to me I have played around A LOT with my external appearance.

You see, years ago (when my internal programming of self-hate was running the show) I had many surgeries to change how I looked. These include:

🪞Nose job

🪞Eye surgery

🪞Lip filler

🪞Botox

🪞Boob job, 2 enlargements, first ones were 300 cc, then 600 cc!

🪞Then boob uplift and smaller implants.

🪞Liposuction on my tummy area.

Did any of this make me happy?

YES, for a small brief period. Then, after the initial excitement disappeared, I wanted more.

I was having twice weekly blow-outs (cos I hated my curly hair), fake nails, and eyelash extensions.

And I was hooked on clean eating (dieting) and beasting my body in the gym (even when I was exhausted).

I was chasing perfection.

And perfection is something we will never achieve.

It is always just out of our reach.

Tempting and teasing us to JUST TRY one more thing to get there.

It’s exhausting and left me feeling despondent.

As I car-crashed into my 40’s (after 2 mental breakdowns) I realised what I was doing to myself DID NOT WORK.

There are many layers to my story of transformation and I will not be able to do them justice in this short piece of writing, yet I wanted to share some of the insights I have discovered about my relationship with my body.

Over the last 12 years, I have explored how I can create a softer, more harmonious relationship with this body I have hated for most of my life.

♥️I stopped wearing make-up. Then started wearing it again, yet I’m happy with or without make-up now.

♥️I stopped having blow-outs and embraced my natural curls. I must admit; I adore my curly red hair.

♥️I stopped dying my hair and allowed the greys to come through. Then decided I preferred my hair red, so continue to colour my hair.

♥️I stopped having my nails and eyelashes done and I prefer myself without them.

♥️I considered getting more liposuction and even went to a couple of doctors to talk about the procedure. When a top London plastic surgeon told me I needed a tummy tuck instead, I decided no, that’s not the route I wanted to go.

♥️In the last 12 years my weight has gone up, down, up, down then up, up, up and then down, down, down. At ALL times I have been committed to loving the fuck out of my body as she is. Because I understand that weight is a by-product of my current life circumstances.

At my heaviest I was going through a divorce, working really hard, drinking booze, stressed the fuck out and wasn’t exercising regularly. At my lowest I had completely transformed my life (moved to Turkey), eliminated most of my external stressors, went back to the gym, started weight training again, stopped drinking booze, ate frugally, and slept a lot.

WEIGHT IS NEVER AS SIMPLE AS CALORIES IN/CALORIES OUT. ESPECIALLY IN PERIMENOPAUSE.

👉🏻We live in funny world where we are told (as women) we need to:

‼️ACCEPT OUR BODIES

‼️ALLOW OUR BODIES TO AGE GRACEFULLY

‼️CHANGE OUR BODIES

‼️DO ANYTHING WE CAN TO STOP THE AGEING PROCESS

‼️STOP PUTTING OUR VALUE ON OUR EXTERNAL APPEARANCE

‼️OUR VALUE IS BASED UPON OUR EXTERNAL APPEARANCE

‼️CHANGE OUR APPEARANCE TO BE DESIRABLE AND SEXY

‼️STOP FOCUSING ON OUR APPEARANCE

‼️BE A DIFFERENT SIZE/SHAPE THAN WE ARE

‼️EMBRACE OUR SIZE/SHAPE AS WE ARE

‼️DON’T HAVE PLASTIC SURGERY

‼️HAVE PLASTIC SURGERY

Can you see how confusing this all is?

And can you see that ALL of these are outside influences that (unless you bring awareness to them) weave their insidious way inside your mind and torment you with their mixed messages?

LIFE IS A PARADOX.

YOU ARE A PARADOX.

I AM A PARADOX.

I will openly admit to being still affected by societal conditioning, yet...

So many people ask me "How do I find the energy & motivation to change my life?" And I always reply; "it starts and ends with your attitude". You see most people believe they are stuck in life and therefore, are unable to look at themselves or life differently. Yet, if you want to reinvent yourself in midlife, then you MUST open your mind and be willing to take responsibility for your choices and actions. Let's dive deeper into this powerful topic.

® Star Monroe is a psychotherapist midlife sex, love & relationship coach helping you create your very own wild love affair with life, love & your libido.

I woke up this morning and understood why conflict and boundaries have been so hard for me to handle and uphold. These revelations dropped deeply into my bones and gave me a deeper understanding of why I find conflict so challenging and why boundaries trigger me. This newfound wisdom has opened another door, another pathway for me to walk as I step up and into my most unapologetic powerful self. Tune in to absorb all the wisdom. msstarmonroe.com

The next round of "The Love Affair," starts on September 9th. This 30-day intensive is all about making yourself a priority, dating yourself, and exploring your sensuality and sexuality through the female gaze. Save £100 (use code SEXY) when you join before 13 August.

Welcome to another episode of "The Star Monroe Show," where we dive deep into all things relationships, confidence, reinvention, and of course, sex in midlife. In today's episode, we're going to explore the obstacles that may hinder you from reclaiming your sexy at midlife. And let's get one thing straight from the start – it's not just about blaming menopause or aging. Feeling sexy at midlife is a more nuanced journey.

Join me as we explore six archetypal energies that might be getting in the way of your midlife sexy. But before we delve into them, let's paint a big picture. A woman embracing her sexy at midlife, in touch with her libido, knows how to turn herself on, and feels empowered, connected to her body, and attuned to her desires. On the other hand, the antithesis of sexy at midlife is a woman who feels disempowered, disconnected from her body and desires. She struggles with self-doubt, lacks confidence, and may suppress her sexual needs and desires. She may even rely on external validation for pleasure and feel dependent on others to ignite her passion.

So, let's address these archetypal energies that can stand in your way:

1. **The Good Girl**: Programmed to play it safe and hide her desires, the good girl struggles to prioritize her own joy, seeking approval and validation from others.

2. **The People Pleaser**: Always looking for validation, the people pleaser masks her true desires to fit in, often at the expense of her own needs.

3. **The Mother**: The ultimate nurturer, the mother puts her needs on the back burner and tends to fix everyone's problems, leading to a sense of martyrdom.

4. **The Wounded Inner Child**: Yearning for someone to fix and save her, the wounded inner child seeks external validation and often lacks self-empowerment.

5. **The Performer**: In search of approval, the performer adopts a façade and may even perform in bed, seeking external validation and struggling with intimacy.

6. **The Independent Woman**: Having learned to do it all herself, the independent woman can be hesitant to ask for help and may have built a protective wall around her heart.

Reclaiming your sexy at midlife requires awareness and a willingness to confront these archetypal energies. Remember, you are not these energies; they are parts of your psyche that have been conditioned by experiences throughout your life. The journey to reclamation is about reconnecting to your true essence and shedding societal constraints.

As you integrate all parts of yourself, embrace your shadow and light, and dance with your soul, you'll rise untamed and free, owning your libido like wildfire, unapologetic and raw. Your path to midlife passion is ever-evolving, not linear, and will require perseverance. But as you reclaim your true essence and activate your midlife libido, you'll command your destiny with strength and conviction.

If this wisdom resonates with you, consider joining the next round of "The Love Affair," starting on September 9th. This 30-day intensive is all about making yourself a priority, dating yourself, and exploring your sensuality and sexuality through the female gaze and you can save £100 if you join before 13 August.

Does healthy, conscious love elude you? Are you destined always to attract unemotionally available partners? Do you feel insecure and self-doubt your every move when dating?

Well if you do then your past probably has something to do with it. Let's unpack why this happens (because the most important relationship you are ever going to have is the one with yourself and if you want better relationships, then you've got to have a better and deeper connection with yourself) and then we'll explore ways you can start doing things differently so you can stop attracting the dregs and start attracting more healthy, conscious love into your life.

You have the ability to create something truly beautiful in your life.

But you’re not doing what you would really love to do because of….

FEAR

Fear is a sneaky fucker and always walking alongside fear is it’s good friend. Self-doubt.

When these two energies get together….

WOAH. Watch out.

They will brainwash you into believing your dreams are impossible, you are stuck and that nothing gets to work for you.

Yet, you always have a choice.

Stay and let your fears, excuses and lethargy pull you down with them.

OR….

Choose to break out of this sticky mess and make the courageous move to drop deep into your own fears.

And, if you want to live a life that lights you fuck up, then you have to challenge your excuse of “I don’t have enough time”.

You are not a victim of “time”. You have become a victim of your “mind”.

Time itself is fluid and can be bent, shortened, twisted, lengthened and even stopped.

The moment you take a stand and begin to follow your dreams, time becomes your ally rather than your enemy, automatically adapting itself to fit your needs.

Make no mistake, your dreams will NEVER become your reality unless you do something to make them happen.

It is not enough to daydream and plan how you might change yourself, and your world.

You HAVE TO BEGIN THE WORK.

Ah, I can hear you say “but I’m not ready”

Again, this excuse is based upon a false nothing of time.

The truth is YOU are ALWAYS ready.

You are ready right now.

If you keep postponing your dreams, they will always remain your dreams.

When you courageously step onto the path of your destiny, you will learn as you go along, the next step will always reveal itself to you…

The enthusiasm and passion you are seeking/hoping to fall into your lap ONLY appears when you say YES to yourself and your dreams.

If you are ready to choose yourself, ready to say YES to your dreams and desires…

And you would like someone (me) to support your journey, who believes in you, who sees your true potential and who will help you navigate your way through your fears/excuses, self-doubt.

So you can get out of your own darn way and create something truly beautiful with your life….

Then there are two ways we can work together.

Everything you need is right here: https://stan.store/starmonroe

If you've ever wondered why sticking to healthy habits or steering clear of that narcissistic ex seems impossible, let me tell you, it's not that there's something wrong with you. It's all about how you think about yourself. Changing how you show up in midlife, building healthier relationships, managing your finances, taking care of your body and wellness, it all starts and ends with your self-perception and your daily self-talk.

If you're constantly telling yourself, "I can't help it, this is who I am, I always mess up," then that's exactly what you'll keep getting in life. But hey, Star Monroe here, and I've got just the antidote for you. It's about becoming the main character of your life. Yes, you heard that right. You are the superstar of your life, and you get to call the shots – your life, your rules.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Life is a game. If you don't know how to play it, life will play you. It all begins and ends with you stepping into that main character energy – confident, unbothered, and totally exclusive.

So, how do you do this? Stop dwelling on your faults and past mistakes. Start focusing on who you want to become. Don't get hung up on the 'I don't know how' – I'm handing it to you on a plate. You're stepping into the role of the main character of your life.

It's time to become acutely aware of your inner dialogue and start talking to yourself as if you are that main character, that top-billed superstar. Focus on what you want and how you want to navigate the world. Here are a couple of tips to integrate this into your life:

One mantra I repeat daily is "I am the prize." At first, it might feel superficial, but with patience and consistency, it'll sink in. Say to yourself, "I am my most valuable asset. I am a woman who takes good care of herself. I am a woman who doesn't text toxic people. I am a woman with standards higher than the Burj Khalifa. I am strong, independent, and I know what's best for me."

Here's a game-changer: there's already a part of you that knows what's best for you – your higher self, God, Source Energy, whatever you call it. This voice is guiding you. It's telling you to stop engaging in harmful behaviours. You become this woman by talking her into existence every single day. Focus on what you want, not what went wrong.

This week I was triggered AF around some highly charged areas in my life. Join me for a longer than normal episode where I really unpack what happened and what I've learned from losing my shit. This is what self-mastery looks like, gifting ourselves compassion, the space to process and feel, the honouring of emotions and a deeper understanding of who we are so we can elevate and show up in bigger/bolder and more powerful ways and create a Legacy that breaks generational curses.

For us to reclaim our power in midlife we have to disrupt SO much. In this episode, I dive into our patriarchal society and how this has brainwashed us into believing we have to take care of everyone else and if (and only if) there is any time left we may get a look in. No wonder we are exhausted at midlife. It's time to change, it's time to disrupt all this BS so that we can reclaim ourselves in midlife and beyond.

In today's episode, I share why 'doing it on our own' is the fastest way to drain our power. This a belief I personally believed for many years and it led me to not one but three breakdowns. As I slowly unravelled and awakened in my early 40's I realised this way of thinking had to go and I had to ask for support and guidance to help me uplevel and evolve. We are not meant to do life on our own. We need support and a sisterhood where we are seen, heard, validated and celebrated.

Every time you settle for less than you deserve, you send a message to yourself: I’m not worthy of more. And every time you settle, Desperella grows stronger, feeding off your fear and doubt. But raising your standards? That’s the most radical act of self-love you can commit to, and it’s the key to breaking free from Desperella’s grip.

Raising your standards isn’t just about expecting more from others. It’s about elevating how you treat yourself, the boundaries you set, and the choices you make daily. It’s about declaring that mediocrity has no place in your life and that you are worthy of everything you desire.

Welcome to The Star Monroe Show, hosted by my exceptional self, Star Monroe; Psychotherapist, Master Life Coach, and Founder of The High Standards Woman.

Welcome to The Star Monroe Show, where we dive deep into Main Character Energy. Confident. Unbothered. Exclusive. Today, I have a powerful reminder just for you: You are the prize. That's right, you're not the consolation prize or the runner-up, but the grand, spectacular, show-stopping prize.

It's time to break free from the martyr archetype that's been passed down through generations and claim your rightful place at the top of your list.

I want to share with you how to embrace the belief that you are the prize in your day-to-day routine. Start each morning by looking in the mirror and affirming, "I am the prize."

I was having a conversation with one of my 1:1 clients yesterday and she asked me….

You talk a lot about power, fierceness and boldness.

But where’s the kindness, the softness in all of this?

I replied…

I am always kind to myself. I am fierce because I am soft because I honour and bow down in reverence to my vulnerability.

I have learned through SO many life lessons that when I am fierce but not soft. I am brittle, my defences lead the way, I exhaust myself, I disconnect from my body, I compare myself to other women, I ignore my feelings.

And that way of living nearly destroyed me.

It has taken a long time for me to be the woman I am. I am always learning, I am always evolving. And I am in a place in my life where I no longer hide from my power.

I am here to serve. I am here to wake women up. And my Warrioress/Kali❤️‍🔥spirit is being put to good use now (rather than that power being turned inwardly to destroy myself).

The number one thing you HAVE to STOP doing in midlife & menopause if you want to feel ALIVE is stop being busy, over-committing yourself and putting your needs and desires right at the bottom of your to-do list.

Midlife & menopause are NOT problems to be fixed, they are rites of passage asking you to shed all that no longer serves you so you can finally become the woman you have always wanted to be.

Yet, for you to do this you HAVE TO DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY. You have to stop over-committing yourself, you have to stop being busy for busy sake and you have to stop putting your needs and desires on the backburner.

Your body is changing, your brain is rewiring and requires SPACE, a slower pace of life and your full presence.

® Star Monroe is a psychotherapist and midlife relationship coach helping you create your very own wild love affair with life, love & your libido.

Everything you need to deepen your High Standards Woman journey is here: https://stan.store/starmonroe

Have you ever felt like you’re not enough? Like there’s something inherently wrong with you that needs fixing? Perhaps you’ve found yourself believing that there isn’t enough money, time, energy, opportunities, or love to go around. So, you settle for crumbs. This is the essence of a lack mindset, and it’s not how a High Standards Woman moves through the world.

The High Standards Woman knows better. She recognizes these limiting beliefs for what they are and replaces them with an abundant mindset. She understands her worth and treats herself like the most valued woman on the planet. She is deeply connected to her divinity, trusting herself, and holding herself to the highest standards in every aspect of her life—wealth, health, business, career, creativity, pleasure, and intimacy. She knows there is more than enough love, wealth, happiness, energy, time, connections, and opportunities for everyone.

This mindset shift allows her to move through the world in the highest frequency—the frequency of authenticity. She knows who she is, what she wants, and she knows she will always get it.

I understand this journey intimately. Growing up, I was raised by parents who lived with a lack mentality. Teaching myself to live in abundance was a transformative experience, and now, I guide women (just like you) on this same journey. If you want to shift from lack to abundance, learn from someone who has walked that path and figured it out firsthand. I know the steps you need to take and how to navigate any obstacles because I've been there.

The time has come to make a powerful decision: to live differently. Imagine the transformation that awaits you when you release the scarcity mindset and embrace the abundant life you deserve. Picture yourself, moving through the world with an unshakeable confidence, elegance, and a deep sense of self-worth.

Star Monroe, on demand Psychotherapist, Master Life Coach, and Founder of The High Standards Woman, invites you to step into your High Standards Woman Era. Embrace your transformation into an unapologetically confident woman who knows her worth and always gets what she wants.

Everything you need is right here: https://stan.store/starmonroe

Here's something you've got to remember: You and I are inherently worthy. We've got worth oozing from every cell and bone in our bodies.

But here's the kicker: throughout life, we're going to make a ton of mistakes. I'm no exception. Life's all about evolving and sometimes, we don't learn from these mistakes right away. So, we keep repeating them, in slightly different ways.

Over time, this starts eroding and corroding your self-worth, which is intertwined with your self-belief, esteem, confidence, and self-assurance.

So, what's an ambitious, driven midlife woman like you got to do?

You've got to shift your identity. Step into that main character energy, and embody the traits of a High-Value Woman.

How?

By changing how you show up for yourself in this glorious life.

Take my experience in Bali back in 2018: I did a yoga training, hated yoga, but I took away something priceless – the deeper meaning of the word karma...

I'm gonna break it down...

Part one:

"I show up every single day and keep the promises I make to myself."

Imagine if you did that every single day. I guarantee you're going to cultivate self-trust and belief.

Part two:

"Every night, go to bed knowing I've done my best"

By doing this you are recognising and validating your efforts big AND small. By doing this nightly builds your self-esteem, self-worth, and helps you see your value.

Part three:

"I release all expectations of what the future may bring."

This means cultivating a relationship with your highest self and the divine intelligence around you, showing up for yourself in high regard so that you can...

Part four:

"I trust that the right people, circumstances, and events will come to you when the time is right."

Yes, this is simple (human beings love to complicate life!) Yet, it's not easy. Yet, I guarantee if you take this mantra on board and weave into your life, you keep the promises to yourself, you daily validate your efforts, create a connect to your higher self, and release ego-driven expectations of success, you'll see your brilliance, you'll respect yourself and your efforts.

And that's how you build your self-worth.

If you a looking for support and guidance as you step into your Main Character Energy in midlife and you are ready to UPGRADE and take full responsibility for your part in your MIDLIFE GLOW UP, I'd love to work with you. Everything you need is right here: https://stan.store/starmonroe

Question

“What do you do when you can't get a man out of your head?”I want to message him so much but I know long term he's no good for me....how do you cope with that? What can I do to move past this horrible feeling that I'm never gonna meet anyone else? Sorry if this is not allowed I just feel so fucked up right now …

Hey, I had a great question and it's about dating, and I've got a feeling it's gonna resonate with some of you.

So the question is; What do you do when you can't get a man out of your head? I want to message him so much, but I know long term he's no good for me. How do you cope with that? How can I move past this horrible feeling that I'm never going to meet anyone else? So let's unpack this together.

Hey, my name is Star Monroe psychotherapist, turned your midlife dating bestie and I talk about reinvention, relationships, dating and sex in midlife.

So let's start at the beginning. And if you are to have better relationships, then you have to learn how to date differently. You have to plug back into yourself over and over and again and get clear on what is working for you and what isn't working for you. I call it becoming your very own dating detective. You want to create your very own dating dossier on what's tripping you up in the dating and relationship field. So if I was to look at the foundations you need to date successfully, to attract healthy, conscious love, you have to have a really good sense of who you are and what you want. You've got to know your dating intentions. And you've got to have a real deep understanding of what is the energy that you are dating with what is the energy that's coming out from your pores as you go out into the dating world and it doesn't matter if you're online dating or you're meeting people in real life, your energy speaks louder than you ever will.

So something that I've noticed and there's no shame because I noticed this with myself in the past and I see it with my clients is that a lot of people date because they want to fill a void in themselves. Maybe that void is that they don't feel good, the void is that they feel lonely. Loneliness is a big one. Maybe it's because they're living in this narrative that I'm never going to meet anybody and I've got to grab whoever's coming my way now. Or it could be - and I resonate with this one - the first person that was ever nice to me. I was like, that's great. And it was always like they picked me, they chose me, I never chose them. And this all comes back down to our self-identity, how we look at ourselves.

The journey around dating and relationships is the ultimate journey in self-love. It's the ultimate journey in really understanding and getting to know yourself at a deep level. And also it's going to be a big healing journey for a lot of you as well.

So if I go back to the question, what do you do when you can't get a man out of your head? I want to message him so much but I know long term he's no good for me. So what I want to pull out from this is that this lovely woman knows she knows that this guy is no good for her. And that's the first thing that I want to send her into is because women know you know what is right and what is wrong. You have such a powerful, instinctual capacity within you and yet the way that we live in a society, our patriarchal society, pulls us away from the wisdom of our body. And your job is to plug back into this wisdom over and over again. You are powerful and capable. You have just got to disrupt and agitate the conditioning and the identities and the stories that keep you second-guessing yourself as you choose to do things differently on this dating journey.

You are learning to choose yourself over and over again. The most important relationship you are ever going to have is the one with yourself, not with another it's always going to be with yourself. And that is going to be challenging. I'm not going...

In today's episdoe, I share my personal journey of learning to trust my own opinion, starting from my teenage years when I’d second-guess my choices during shopping trips. It didn’t take long to realize that this hesitation—this need for outside validation—wasn't just about clothes. It was showing up in all areas of my life, from relationships to business decisions. Through years of trial and error, I discovered that my body and intuition always knew what was right for me. The real challenge was learning to listen. In this story, I encourage you to do the same—tune into your gut feelings, trust your inner wisdom, and stop relying on others to tell you what’s best. Once you do, you’ll find more clarity, confidence, and alignment with the life that’s truly meant for you.

Welcome to The Star Monroe Show, with your host, Star Monroe—Psychotherapist, Master Life Coach, and Founder of The High Standards Woman. This is for ambitious women ready to step into their divine sovereignty, own their worth, and attract everything they desire.

In today's episode, I share my "line in the sand" moment that changed the direction of my midlife. I was lost, confused, my confidence had disappeared and I had made my life so small. Yet, there was a voice inside that would not let me settle. Although it has been challenging at times, I am so glad I listened to that voice. I also share more about my destructive past which includes moving through eating disorders, addictions, alcoholism, abusive relationships and bankruptcy.

In a world that constantly tells women how to act, how to be. It is a radical act for an older woman to do ageing HER WAY. 

Be that woman.

Make your own choices and be damned what anyone else says.

Go grey/dye your hair.

Use HRT/dont use HRT.

Flaunt those wrinkles/get plastic surgery.

Cover up/wear that sequinned bikini.

Have more seggsy/become celibate.

Wear shit loads of make-up/go bare-faced.

Leave your partner/commit to your relationship.

NO ONE knows you better than yourself.

Stop listening to the outside noise.

And start listening in.

DO YOU!!!

You want more energy, want to feel more vivacious, radiant and alive in midlife?

Then you need to get super savvy with your sleep routine.

I've learned over the last 15-17 years to cultivate better sleep habits.

Many moons again (when I was a raging cocaine addict) I was hooked on sleeping tablets.

Baby, I've come a l-o-n-g way.

• Why finding out your own rhythm is a midlife life essential
• Problems are never the problems (you gotta go deeper)

Once you recognize Desperella in your life, the next step is to break free from her grip and begin raising your standards. Desperella keeps you stuck by making you believe that accepting “good enough” is safer than asking for what you truly deserve. But the moment you start raising your standards, you reclaim your power and step into the role of the High Standards Woman.

It all starts with choice. Once you recognize Desperella’s influence, you must choose to act differently. What would the High Standards Woman do in these moments? She would demand what she deserves, set clear boundaries, and prioritize herself—not out of selfishness, but out of self-respect.

Welcome to The Star Monroe Show, hosted by my exceptional self, Star Monroe; Psychotherapist, Master Life Coach, and Founder of The High Standards Woman.

Someone asked me a while back, "What does healing look like + can you give me a roadmap?" I will endeavour to unpack this question with care and intention. You see, healing is not linear (oh, I wish it was), it's more cyclical, it kinda never stops. You think you've got over something and then it returns in another way (gotta love those life lessons). Yet over the years, I noticed various patterns emerge when I was working with my clients. And, slowly I pieced together my methodology that (when embodied) and not just ticked off (like a to-do list) guides midlife women to have a deeper relationship with themselves (which is the ultimate transformation journey). Because everything starts and ends with ourselves. If you want better relationships, money habits, sex, confidence, career, and family life, then you are the one who needs to change, you are the one who needs to understand yourself on a deeper level and create a different way of moving through life (so that stop repeating the same mistakes) and start cultivating the confidence, boldness and audaciousness to create your very own wild love affair with life, love & your libido.

Before we dive in, sexy is subjective and is highly influenced by the male gaze (I'll unpack this in today's video). Yet, when you define and reclaim your version of sexy, that's when you come alive and set yourself free. Yes, you can change your external appearance, and that will give you a quick confidence boost but unless you dive deeper into disrupting your inherent conditioning, and learning how to create a safe, secure home within yourself these changes will not stick.

If you’re ready to go deeper into mastering your energy, the art of leaning back, and everything that makes a High Standards Woman magnetic, join me for The High Standards Woman Finishing School, launching early 2025. We’ll dive deep into these practices and so much more. Be the first to know by joining my inner circle at thehighstandardswoman.com

People don’t hear your words—they hear your tone and energy. You could say all the right things, but if your energy doesn’t match, the message won’t land. It’s your energy that people truly connect with, and as a High Standards Woman, this is where your power lies. When your tone, energy, and actions align, you become magnetic, drawing in the right people and opportunities effortlessly.

One of the most powerful ways to activate this magnetism is through the practice of leaning back. Too often, we get caught up in chasing and pushing, which comes from fear or neediness. But when you lean back, you shift from chasing to attracting, creating space for what you want to come to you. This is where the Siren Effect comes into play—an effortless allure that draws people in without you having to try.

In dating, career, or even social settings, the Siren Effect allows you to become magnetic by owning your space. Men, opportunities, and experiences are naturally drawn to you because your energy speaks louder than any words could. And when you’re aligned—when your energy matches your words and actions—you radiate the kind of confidence and presence that others can’t resist.

Welcome to The Star Monroe Show, with your host, Star Monroe—Psychotherapist, Master Life Coach, and Founder of The High Standards Woman. This is for ambitious women ready to live aligned with their Highest Selves, embody their inherent worth, and attract everything they desire.

Join me each week for transformational conversations, insights and strategies to help you rise up, embrace unapologetic confidence, and live a life of excellence. It’s time to become the woman who always gets what she wants.

When we take a step back and look at jealousy through the lens of compassion there is so much wisdom waiting for us on our self-mastery journey.

Throughout my life jealousy has run amok (because I wasn't ready to unpack it).

Welcome to 2024, the year you fully embrace your Main Character Energy. This is the moment you step into your power, unapologetically confident, unbothered, and exclusive. Picture this: You effortlessly manifest your desires, commanding your dreams into reality with the click of your beautifully manicured fingertips.

Main Character Energy is about recognizing your immense power. You're not just a character in your life's story; you're the director, producer, and screenwriter. You have the authority to shape your narrative, make decisions aligned with your values, and steer your life in any direction you choose.

2024 is the year you fully embrace your Main Character Energy, stepping into the spotlight and owning your narrative. It's time to radiate confidence, be unbothered by judgment, and claim your exclusivity. Get ready to manifest abundance, prosperity, and the life you've always dreamed of. You've got the power; now, it's time to command it.

Star Monroe is a Midlife Psychotherapist & Confidence Catalyst guiding you into your Main Character Era. Confident. Unbothered. Exclusive.

"The Love Affair," my transformative 30-day intensive starts 9/9. Together, we'll cultivate a lifestyle where joy, pleasure, and radiance are non-negotiable. Say yes to igniting your midlife radiance and rewriting your narrative.

Amidst a society that rarely addresses midlife sexuality, I'm here to bring you an honest, down-to-earth perspective. If you've missed the earlier episodes, I've already delved into themes like the male and female gaze, as well as the factors that might hinder your midlife journey towards feeling sexy and confident. Today, let's talk about the captivating realm of sex and libido.

Shake up your preconceptions about sex and ditch those old scripts imposed by the patriarchy and male-centric views. Sex is far more than a goal-oriented endeavour, a race to the finish line. It's not just about syncopated climaxes. Instead, we're reimagining libido as a potent hidden superpower.

What we're exploring here isn't just about sex; it's a voyage of self-reconnection. It's an expedition into personal growth and evolution. As I embrace my 50s, I've realized that knowing oneself, embracing desires, and taking ownership of joy and happiness diminishes the need for external validation. This newfound freedom allows you to navigate life as your authentic self, magnetizing fresh opportunities, adventures, and prosperity.

By embracing your libido, you're actually undergoing a metamorphosis from within. You can't genuinely rekindle your connection to your libido without addressing your desires, your yearnings, your dreams—those aspects that may have been suppressed or shelved for years. The lid you've placed on your aspirations can be lifted, and this transformational journey is about honoring and pursuing them.

Perhaps society, self-doubt, or life's setbacks have led you to abandon your dreams. Trust me, I've been there too. After tumultuous experiences, I relinquished my aspirations. But then, I chose a different path, one that's about lighting up what truly excites me. Rumi's quote, "Follow what lights you up. It will not lead you astray," became my guiding principle.

Remember, life isn't just a destination—it's an ongoing journey. Embrace what ignites your passion, move towards it, and when you arrive, be open to new dreams and desires that unveil themselves. This is the essence of living radiantly.

Now, let's delve into some powerful truths. Reclaiming your libido isn't just about reigniting bedroom fireworks, although that's certainly part of it. It's about radiating confidence, infusing your life with joy, and amplifying your self-worth. Your libido, often overlooked and hidden, is an incredible source of energy and radiance.

As you embark on this journey, you're challenging societal norms that define you by age or gender. You're declaring that your dreams and desires are valid, regardless of external judgments. It's about being the curator of your own pleasure, a powerful mistress of your satisfaction.

By embracing your libido, you're not just revolutionizing your relationship with sexuality; you're igniting transformation across all facets of your life. Relationships evolve, confidence skyrockets, and drama dissipates. This isn't about quick fixes or superficial beauty; it's about crafting a lifestyle that nurtures your inner glow.

So, why not let your libido roar? Allow it to illuminate your entire world. This journey isn't just about sexual intimacy, but about reclaiming your personal power and authenticity.

If these words resonate, if you're seeking to thrive in midlife and reshape your relationship with your body, if you're ready to challenge norms and discover your hidden superpower, then consider joining "The Love...

It took me over 10 years of deep, inner transformational work to get me where I am today and the good news is that it doesn't have to take you that long to shift and evolve as I have condensed all my wisdom into a powerful methodology that sits upon FOUR pillars. These FOUR pillars keep me on my path and help to transform not only my life but my client's lives too. In today's episode, we dive into pillar #1; Awareness will change everything.

Your Midlife Glow Up. The Wellness Edition

I've spent over 30 years in the health and wellness industry, and I've gathered some invaluable insights, especially about embodying main character energy and being a high-value woman who prioritizes health and wellness. Here are my top 10 takeaways:

1. Posture is Everything: Owning a Pilates studio for 25 years taught me the transformative power of posture. When you improve how you hold your body, everything else changes too.
2. Muscle Building: As muscle mass naturally decreases with age, it’s crucial to build it. Hit the gym and focus on strength training.
3. Move Daily: Whether it’s walking, stretching, swimming, or yoga, make movement a daily habit.
4. Aches and Pains: They’re normal but get worse if you don’t move. Stay active to manage discomfort.
5. Hydration: Aim for two liters of water a day. Staying hydrated is key for overall health.
6. Post-Workout Wind Down: After a gym session, spend at least 10 minutes cooling down to help balance the chemicals and hormones in your body.
7. Just Do It: Like brushing your teeth or doing the dishes, exercise might not always be enjoyable, but it’s necessary. The stronger your muscles and joints, the better your body will age.
8. Foot Care: Your feet carry you every day and have 26 bones each. Keep them active with stretches, flexes, and circles.
9. Strong muscles: Equals strong joints, perfect to keep your body moving as you age.
10. Consistent Exercise for Energy Flow: Regular exercise helps to move energy through your body, essential for feeling unstuck and vibrant.

Unpacking these two questions on today's episode.

• How do you know when a relationship is breaking down?
• How do you come together when the going gets tough?

These two questions may seem like they require separate answers yet the are both pointing to the same answer.

And it's all about communication.

A healthy, conscious relationship is only ever going to happen when the two of you are able to communicate and really listen and accept each other's point of view.

There are many reasons why you are not communicating in healthy ways with your partner and I unpack these in depth on today's episode.

So, whether you are thinking about leaving or trying to figure out how to move forward you need to talk and find out if you are on the same page with your values, morals, ethics and where you are going in life. Think about each conversation as a playful negotiation. You'll need time, space, and to approach all conversations from your adult ego state.

If you want better relationships, then you have to know who you are, what you want and the ability to communicate this in a way you are heard. Come join us in Midlife Dating School. We start 12 May.

After decades of missed chances to live abroad, I finally took the leap in 2022—this time, on my terms. At 51, newly divorced, an empty nester, and free from past fears, I packed up my life in Kent and moved to Turkey, a place I’d loved for years. This wasn’t just a change of location—it was a journey to rediscover my true self. In Turkey, I found the space to heal, deepen my connection to my faith, and embrace my full potential. Now, in my third year here, I’m healthier, more joyful, and more aligned than ever—living life unapologetically and guiding others to do the same.

Welcome to The Star Monroe Show, with your host, Star Monroe—Psychotherapist, Master Life Coach, and Founder of The High Standards Woman. This is for ambitious women ready to step into their divine sovereignty, own their worth, and attract everything they desire.

Join me each week for transformational conversations, insights and strategies to help you rise up, embrace unapologetic confidence, and live a life of excellence. It’s time to become the woman who always gets what she wants

Ready to create a deeper relationship with yourself in midlife? Apply to work with me privately. I have one space available starting September 2023. 4 months of deep mentorship, body psychotherapy & my undivided attention.

I am committed to myself, let's say I am having a love affair with me and part of this commitment is receiving weekly massages.

Today in my massage.....

Oh, today in my massage...

I experienced a cracking open of yet another deep memory that was lodged inside my body (from sooooo many years ago).

As my masseuse's hands glided over my body...

Memories of me as a little child surfaced.

Memories of my father surfaced.

Memories of broken dreams surfaced.

And a voice.

A voice from my inner child whispering to me......

"You are making all our dreams come true".

I sobbed.

And I sobbed.

The feelings and emotions moved through me, ready to be felt, ready to be dispersed into the ethers.

Healing happens when we are able to fully feel.

When the massage was over, I walked slowly down the steps.

Pausing every now and then.

Checking in.

Breathing.

Soothing myself.

Recognising what just happened.

And this voice appeared again.

My inner child.

She told me "don't leave, you are leaving me, everyone leaves me" (she was falling down a black hole as she was saying this to me)

And as I got on my bicycle and peddled back home I whispered back....

"I'm never leaving you"

And I reached out and grabbed her and held her to me.

She wasn't too sure about that and tried to wriggle away.

I told her "it's me and you kid"

She tutted but stayed with me.

I love my inner child.

I love me.

This is what healing looks like.

The willingness to go deep.

The willingness to bypass your pesky ego mind.

The willingness to take care of yourself.

The willingness to stop trying to figure it all out and JUST be a grounded, safe place to FEEL.

And here’s the thing. If you are constantly living in your head (disconnected from your body), always busy, always over-committing yourself. You will try to analyse the fuck out of everything that bubbles up inside you. You will try to attach meaning onto every emotion you feel (that’s if you are currently capable of feeling right now and not hooked on numbing yourself all the way out of your life)

And what that does is HALT your body’s natural process of feeling and healing.

Sometimes we don’t know why we feel x, y, z.

And that’s ok.

When you learn how to give your body the space to process LIFE, it will find it’s own rhythm.

Your quest. Is to NOT get in the way.

I don't think I've told a lot of people about how I asked my 2nd husband for a divorce. How I did it was not the 'correct' way, in fact, it was wildly messy (much like me!)

Join me on this episode of The Star Monroe Show as I reveal how I cultivated the courage and bravery to end my 2nd marriage.

This time last year I was in Paris CELEBRATING my divorce papers coming through.

NOTHING stops me from living and feeling ALIVE.

You and ONLY you get to determine how your life events affect you.

You ALWAYS HAVE A CHOICE.

Look for the lesson. Learn from it, so you can let it go and GROW.

OR bury your head in the sand, keep repeating the same mistakes, abdicate responsibility and carry this heavy weight around with you (like a noose around your neck).

Get the book: Main Character Energy. Upgrade Your Midlife &/or the mini-course: Amplify Your Confidence here: https://stan.store/starmonroe

We both know no one is coming to save you/rescue you/hand you all the answers on a silver platter.

Right!?

So, if you're feeling unfulfilled, anxious, and riddled with self-doubt in midlife, it's up to you to make the necessary changes.

And guess what...

Today's your lucky day because I'm about to reveal one of my go-to midlife elixirs that will amplify your confidence, happiness and Main Character Energy Vibes.

So, let's do this...

You need to romance the shit out of your life.

That’s right, you – not some mythical knight in shining armour or some mystical romantic unicorn.

It's all up to you.

It's time to seriously romance your life.

So, let’s dive into how you can do this by upgrading and elevating your mornings....

🌅Every morning, as you step out of bed, plant your feet firmly on the ground. Stand tall, take a deep breath, and greet yourself. Acknowledge the day – each day has its unique vibe (go on, Google it!). Then, turn around and make your bed. Fluff those pillows, straighten the duvet, and make it look exquisite, fit for the Empress you are (your surroundings matter!)

🌅Next up, the night before, you would have laid out your supplements, your morning drink (coffee or tea), and your clothes for the day. There is nothing worse than faffing about in the morning thinking about what to wear (what a complete waste of your precious energy).

Everything is set out for you because you're romancing the shit out of life. You just go to the kitchen, take your supplements, and enjoy your coffee without rushing around. Ah.. can you feel the peace and calm.

🌅Lastly, play some elegant music in the background. Sure, I love a good rock tune in the gym to lift me up, but what about the mornings? I've found that elegant music like classical, or opera tunes bring me to a grounded, peaceful state. It soothes my mind and gives me the sense of more space, and space is what you need so that think more clearly and with more clarity.

So, without further ado. Get going with romancing the shit out of your day. Weave these easy steps into your mornings for the next 21 days and see how they transform your day. Let me know how you get on!

Star Monroe is a Midlife Psychotherapist & Confidence Catalyst guiding you into your Main Character Era. Confident. Unbothered. Exclusive.

Gently yet firmly whip your inner critic into submission by whispering sweet nothings into her ear.

Tell her, her words and stories are heard and, that she is welcome here in your world. Invite her to have a seat at your table (with all the other parts of your psyche).

Massage her shoulders, give her a kiss on her forehead. Tell her you love her and THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART remind her that YOU ARE IN CHARGE here.

Yes, she can share her opinion, yes she will always be heard and yes (you tell her firmly with pure unadulterated love) you will always challenge her words and stories, because you both know that underneath everything she says, lies her fears.

And her (your) fears are welcome into your world.

Because you know that you have the strength, courage and resilience to STRUT through your fears, that your fears are teachers in their own right and you WELCOME them into your world.

Because ultimately you know YOU ARE AN EMPRESS OF THE HIGHEST ORDER with Angels, Guardian Spirits and Divine Intelligence on your side and nothing/no one (especially yourself) can get in the way of your BRILLIANCE.

Carry on EMPRESS!

If you're serious about levelling up your life it's time to drop those sneaky habits and patterns that have held you back. What got you here won’t get you there. You must be willing to look at yourself through a magnifying glass and face the truth.

Last year, I noticed some recurring patterns. After my divorce, I decided to start dating again. But I quickly fell into old habits: meeting men, sleeping with them instantly, and wondering why nothing progressed. I had to confront myself and realize I was seeking external validation because I felt unfulfilled.

The first step was to decenter men and focus on my own soul. I decided to be consciously single and validate myself. It’s the small things that count. For example, while on the treadmill at the gym, I caught myself wondering if a guy was looking at me. I stopped and thought, “Bitch, you need to look at yourself.” That moment was a domino effect leading me to appreciate and pour energy into myself.

This shift transformed my business and my life. I'm no longer seeking external validation, and I converse with men confidently without needing anything from them. I’m more self-assured and fulfilled, knowing that what I want will come to me when I’m ready. This transformation wouldn't have happened if I hadn’t been willing to examine myself deeply and change those ingrained patterns.

Another significant change was cutting out alcohol. I realized I was drinking more than I wanted to, so I stopped. Now, I feel liberated, full of energy, and healthier than ever at 53.

Midlife can be a pain in the ass or a portal into us living our deepest desires. Personally I made the choice to walk through the portal that midlife was offering me and made my wildest dreams come true by moving abroad ON MY OWN. I have always known that I would never live in my home town of Maidstone, Kent, UK for the rest of my life and FINALLY, I took a leap of faith in myself and packed up the house that I had lived in for over 20 years, divested myself of all my stuff and moved to Fethiye, in Turkey last year. I've been in Turkey now for just under 10 months and although this move has come with its challenges I absolutely love being here and truly believe that Turkey is a place where I THRIVE.

Everything you need is right here: https://stan.store/starmonroe

Are you constantly finding yourself on the clearance rack, despite knowing you're destined to be a high-value woman? Listen up. High-value women respect their time, energy, and emotional landscapes. This not only safeguards their energy but also naturally repels toxic influences—without lifting a finger. It’s all about the energy you emit.

So, why haven't you embraced this mindset? If you've grown up in an environment where your experiences were dismissed—like those endless "Stop crying" or "Get over it" comments—you've likely learned to ignore your needs. This isn't just about you; I'm a living example. I dragged this toxic baggage into adulthood, stumbling through codependency, poor financial choices, and not one, but three mental breakdowns.

It took me far too long to wake up to the reality that these patterns were not my identity—they were my conditioning. If you haven't worked through these issues in therapy yet, you've got work to do. It's crucial to pay attention to your emotional needs and fulfill them yourself. You're the only one who should dictate your life's quality—no one else.

Why Midlife? Why Now?

Midlife presents a pivotal moment to do this crucial work. It’s a time when many women reassess what they want from the next chapters of their lives. Doing this work now is essential to shed past limitations and attract more of what you truly desire—be it fulfilling relationships, career growth, or personal peace. Midlife is not just a time to look back; it’s a significant opportunity to design your future with intention and clarity.

How do you start changing this? Acknowledge the heavy conditioning you've carried. Understand that seeking external validation is a trap. Turn inwards. Listen to your body, your intuition, your emotions. It's tough, sure, but living in denial is far worse. Choose your hard.

I'll give you a personal example. Recently, I told my mother I was upset, and she dismissed my feelings. Instead of spiraling into self-doubt, I stepped back to recalibrate. I recognized this as an old pattern of dismissing my own feelings, and instead, chose to honor my emotional response.

By acknowledging and respecting my own boundaries, I strengthen my relationship with myself. This isn't a one-time fix; it’s a continuous practice of honoring yourself and refusing to numb or deny your reality. To attract respect, opportunity, and genuine connections, it starts with respecting yourself and viewing your life through a lens of high value.

Every day you wake up with yourself; every night you go to bed with yourself.

👉🏻Make sure it's someone worth waking up and going to bed with.

Be unapologetically you, honor your emotions, and watch how your world changes. Midlife is your chance to reset, recalibrate, and radiate the energy that attracts the life you deserve. Let this be your time to shine.

If you are an ambitious, successful woman over 50 who is ready to raise the roof on her standards and self-worth, because darling, when you know how valuable you are, you always get what you want—then it's time to take action. Hire me as your private coach and therapist. Right now, you can book a 1-hour consultancy session or choose the deeper path with my 3-month Rebirth package. Everything you need is right here.

There are a million and one dating and relationship hacks out there....

You should be more in your feminine,

Never chase,

How you speak to a guy, what tone to use etc etc.

But all of these are missing the point. Because if you aren't willing to know who you are on a deeper level (especially if like me, you have a chequered past with relationships) then you will continue to attract the same type over and over again.

Midlife dating and relationships are the ultimate journey in knowing who you are (when you take the time to reflect and contemplate your actions). And knowing who you are is the touchstone you need to attract healthy, conscious love into your world.

® Star Monroe is a midlife psychotherapist and relationship coach helping you create your very own wild love affair with life, love & your libido.

Ten years ago, I made a bold declaration to live in a house abroad, surrounded by sunshine, mountains, and the sea. Today, I’m living that dream—after countless challenges, lessons, and growth. The journey wasn’t easy, but by raising my standards and staying committed, it became my reality. Now, I’m deeply committed to exploring what’s possible in this one glorious life of mine. If you’re ready to stop pushing, release the hustle, and align with your true desires, let’s talk about what’s possible for you. Never give up on your dreams.

Welcome to The Star Monroe Show, with your host, Star Monroe—Psychotherapist, Master Life Coach, and Founder of The High Standards Woman. This is for ambitious women ready to step into their divine sovereignty, own their worth, and attract everything they desire.

Join me each week for transformational conversations, insights and strategies to help you rise up, embrace unapologetic confidence, and live a life of excellence. It’s time to become the woman who always gets what she wants.

Flipping the switch on midlife means questioning EVERYTHING you have learned about being a woman. Everything we do is heavily influenced by our patriarchal culture; from how we eat, move, rest, have fun, our sexuality and our power. It's time to break free. In this episode, I share exactly how to do this.

Are you too old to return back to the dating world, attracting conscious, healthy love and toe-curling sex into your midlife world?

The short answer is NO.

Yet if you want to better relationships, deeper connection, intimacy and gorgeous sex then you've got to DATE DIFFERENTLY.

And it all starts and ends with you. You have to create a deeper relationship with yourself. I wonder what work you have done on yourself to find out who you are and what you want. How much digging have you done on your past experiences to glean information and wisdom on how you have shown up for yourself in past relationships so you have a road-map for what to do and what not to do in the present?

Questions to ask yourself.

Have you defined who you are or have you let past experiences and relationships define you?

How are you moving through life? Are you moving through life with intention, or are you bumbling through life &/or carrying your past baggage with you?

If you want more for yourself, if you desire better relationships then you have to plug back into yourself. You have to do the work to get to know yourself and what you want and cultivate the courage and tenacity (through your actions) to reemerge as the woman you've always wanted to be.

Show up as a high-value Queen and create your very own wild love affair with life, love & your libido.

THIS DAY 3 YEARS AGO I declared to the world I was going to open an online member's club for women. A place where they could come together, learn from my wisdom and teachings to be their most powerful selves. If you have a dream, IT'S THERE FOR A FUCKING REASON. You may have buried it, you may have ignored it for a while. BUT WHAT IS MEANT FOR YOU WILL NOT BYPASS YOU. Yes, it's scary, yes it will push to your edges (but that is where you will G-R-O-W). You are meant for so much more in this world. I BELIEVE in you, I SEE YOU creating your own LEGACY that sends ripples out into this world of ours. LISTEN TO YOUR SOUL/SPIRIT/HEART. TAKE THAT STEP, WALK THROUGH THAT DOOR AND NEVER LOOK BACK. You've got this! msstarmonroe.com
