Let’s talk about what it really means to lead with purpose—and still take care of yourself in the process.

In this episode of Operation Be, I sit down with the powerhouse that is Monica Adams—a woman who’s spent over 30 years making bold moves in the TV and radio world, and now, she’s flipping the script with a morning show that’s all about positivity, intention, and impact.

We get into so much more than career highlights. We talk about what it takes to hold your own in male-dominated industries without losing your softness. We go deep into why kindness and integrity aren’t weaknesses—they’re your edge. We cover how the real work of staying grounded in a world that’s always pulling you in a hundred directions.

Monica shares how she’s stayed organized, clear, and aligned—even in the messiest seasons. Her take on mental and physical health, and how they’re non-negotiable for true success, is something every high-achiever needs to hear.

If you’ve ever felt like you had to choose between being powerful or peaceful… ambitious or authentic… this conversation will meet you where you are.

This one’s for the women rewriting the rules.
For the ones leading with heart, and refusing to shrink.

🎧 Tune in now. You don’t have to hustle to prove your worth—you just have to BE.
