    My 10 year Acne Journey & How I Healed It Naturally

    I've been putting this episode off for a while. Not because I didn't know what to say (I teach women how to heal this every single day). But because it's the topic that has impacted me more than almost anything else in my life. This is my acne story. And the strategies that actually healed it. What healed my acne wasn't a cream. It wasn't a skincare routine. It was healing my body from the inside out, my gut, my hormones, my detoxification pathways, my liver. And that's what this episode is about. The science of how acne actually forms, why your skin is always the last thing to heal, and the six foundational strategies that changed everything for me and every client I've worked with since. 🤝 CONNECT Follow Monique Took: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@⁠⁠itsmoniquetook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Follow In Her Era: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@inhererapodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🧾 LINKS & RECEIPTS Only Pore Clogging Ingredient Checker I Trust ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to the Wellness Edit⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - the curated wellness newsletter for ambitious women ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Watch FULLY CHARGED ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠- watch the FREE Masterclass of the exact framework I teach my 6 & 7 figure clients to sustain the level of success they want (without burning out) ⭐ SUPPORT THE SHOW Please Subscribe, Rate, and Review over on Apple Podcasts to help support the show!

    $250, A Bag & Nowhere To Go At 17 - To Creating A Global Movement w/ Priscilla Ann

    She was 17, walking in the rain with everything she owned packed into a baby blue Country Road bag. No family. No money. Nowhere to go. What happened next is one of the most remarkable stories I've heard, and it's not just a survival story. It's a blueprint for what happens when you back yourself before anyone else does. This conversation goes everywhere, the highlight reel vs the messy reality, why women wait for permission to start, how to hold a vision that's bigger than your current resources, and what it actually looks like to act as if before you feel ready. You wouldn't have been given the vision if you weren't meant to fulfill it. 🤝 MEET PRISCILLA @inspiredfoundersofficial @iampriscillaannGet tickets to her upcoming tour: https://www.inspiredfounders.com.au/ 🤝 CONNECT Follow Monique Took: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@⁠⁠itsmoniquetook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Follow In Her Era: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@inhererapodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🧾 LINKS & RECEIPTS ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to the Wellness Edit⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - the curated wellness newsletter for ambitious women ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⭐ SUPPORT THE SHOW Please Subscribe, Rate, and Review over on Apple Podcasts to help support the show!

    The Ambitious Girl's Guide To A Sunday Reset (While Still Enjoying Your Weekend)

    A Sunday reset that takes your whole day isn't a reset. It's just unpaid admin with a cute candle on. If you've ever spent an entire Sunday deep cleaning, meal prepping, writing to do lists and planning the week, only to arrive at Monday somehow still exhausted... this episode is for you. This is my ultimate guide and the 3 part framework I use for a Sunday reset that actually works. The one that sets your week up for success AND where you finish Sunday feeling genuinely recharged. 🤝 CONNECT Follow Monique Took: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@⁠⁠itsmoniquetook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Follow In Her Era: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@inhererapodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🧾 LINKS & RECEIPTS ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to the Wellness Edit⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - the curated wellness newsletter for ambitious women ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Watch FULLY CHARGED ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠- watch the FREE Masterclass of the exact framework I teach my 6 & 7 figure clients to sustain the level of success they want (without burning out) ⭐ SUPPORT THE SHOW Please Subscribe, Rate, and Review over on Apple Podcasts to help support the show!

    Health Download: is cortisol face actually real? (and how to reduce it)

    133 million TikTok views on this topic. Transformation videos. Before and after jawlines. And almost nobody explaining it actually knows what they're looking at. Cortisol face is everywhere on the internet. But is accurate? The short version: it has a little bit of substance to it. But the way it's being explained is largely wrong. This Health Download is the real breakdown, what cortisol face actually is, the two physiologically-backed things that can genuinely change your face, why chronic stress and a stressful week are not the same thing, and how to actually support your cortisol. Spoiler: it's not the hormone teas. 🤝 CONNECT Follow Monique Took: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@⁠⁠itsmoniquetook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Follow In Her Era: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@inhererapodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🧾 LINKS & RECEIPTS ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to the Wellness Edit⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - the curated wellness newsletter for ambitious women ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Watch FULLY CHARGED ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠- watch the FREE Masterclass of the exact framework I teach my 6 & 7 figure clients to sustain the level of success they want (without burning out) ⭐ SUPPORT THE SHOW Please Subscribe, Rate, and Review over on Apple Podcasts to help support the show!

    Does getting dressed increase your productivity? (and the low effort guide to feeling put together)

    Do you ever feel that when you get dressed - hair done, a bit of makeup, something I wouldn't be embarrassed to be seen in - you feel more productive at work? you feel more confident when you walk outside? You carry yourself completely different? Turns out getting dressed is a productivity strategy. So I found the receipts and put together a guide for the working from home girls or the girls on the weekend who want to look put together, without the effort. This episode is the biology behind getting dressed, the psychology of what your clothes are actually signalling to your brain, and the low effort strategies to feel more put together every day - without spending an hour getting ready or dressing to the nines. 🤝 CONNECT Follow Monique Took: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@⁠⁠itsmoniquetook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Follow In Her Era: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@inhererapodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🧾 LINKS & RECEIPTS ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to the Wellness Edit⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - the curated wellness newsletter for ambitious women ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Watch FULLY CHARGED ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠- watch the FREE Masterclass of the exact framework I teach my 6 & 7 figure clients to sustain the level of success they want (without burning out) ⭐ SUPPORT THE SHOW Please Subscribe, Rate, and Review over on Apple Podcasts to help support the show!

    The 3 Things Required To Manifest Anything You Want w/ Hayley Lloyd

    Manifestation gets a bad reputation. And honestly? A lot of it deserves it. Because if manifesting was just vision boards and affirmations, more women would actually be living the life they want. Hayley Lloyd went from $20k in debt, alcoholism and severe social anxiety - to building a seven figure business, quitting drinking for six and a half years and founding the INAWE app - that teaches breathwork and manfiestation. And the thing that changed everything wasn't mindset. It was understanding what was actually happening in her nervous system. This conversation is for the women who have done the manifestation work: the journaling, the vision boards, the affirmations: and still feel like they aren't the "lucky girl" or that manifestation just doesn't work for them. Because this episode explains the missing piece you've likely never heard before. 🤝 CONNECT WITH HAYLEY Instagram: @inawemanifestationApp: INAWE Manifestation — inawemanifestation.com 🧾 LINKS & RECEIPTSFree Breathflow: http://inawemanifestation.com/free-breathflow (coupon code INAWE26) Money Block Quiz: https://quiz.inawemanifestation.com/🤝 THE PODCAST Follow Monique Took: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@⁠⁠itsmoniquetook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Follow In Her Era: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@inhererapodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⭐ SUPPORT THE SHOW Please Subscribe, Rate, and Review over on Apple Podcasts to help support the show!

    The Loneliest Feeling No One Talks About in Friendships

    Have ever caught up with a friend you've known for years and thought... you had to only share "parts of you". That maybe that don't know the whole you? That you don't even know how to answer the simple question of "how are you" without giving them the highlight reel. I've been sitting with this for weeks. Because I realised I've been giving different friends different slices of me, my business friends get the business version, my school friends get the older version, and somewhere along the way I lost the room where someone gets ALL of me (other than my boyfriend) Turns out there's actual science behind why we do this. And it's not because we're fake friends. It's because our brains are literally wired for it. This episode is the research, the receipts, and the real strategies for closing the gap: for the women who have a full life, a full circle, and still quietly feel like nobody actually knows them. You don't need everyone to know everything. But you deserve at least one room that holds all of you. 🤝 CONNECT Follow Monique Took: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@itsmoniquetook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Follow In Her Era: ⁠⁠⁠⁠@inhererapodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🧾 LINKS & RECEIPTS ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to the Wellness Edit⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - the curated wellness newsletter for ambitious women ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Watch FULLY CHARGED ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠- watch the FREE Masterclass of the exact framework I teach my 6 & 7 figure clients to sustain the level of success they want (without burning out) ⭐ SUPPORT THE SHOW Please Subscribe, Rate, and Review over on Apple Podcasts to help support the show!

    Health Download: Why You're Bloated Even Though You're Eating Healthy

    Most bloating advice goes straight to food -cut gluten, try low FODMAP, eliminate dairy. But if your gut health isn't right, it's not the food that's the problem. It's your body's ability to break it down. This Health Download breaks down the five real root causes of bloating - from your nervous system to your stomach acid to your hormones - even when you're doing everything "right." Plus five practical, no-supplement-required strategies to start reducing bloating this week. 🤝 CONNECT Follow Monique Took: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@itsmoniquetook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Follow In Her Era: ⁠⁠⁠@inhererapodcast⁠⁠⁠ 🧾 LINKS & RECEIPTS ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to the Wellness Edit⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - the curated wellness newsletter for ambitious women ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Watch FULLY CHARGED ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠- watch the FREE Masterclass of the exact framework I teach my 6 & 7 figure clients to sustain the level of success they want (without burning out) ⭐ SUPPORT THE SHOW Please Subscribe, Rate, and Review over on Apple Podcasts to help support the show!

    One Night Stands: Are Women Too Emotional?

    We've been told for years that women just aren't built for casual sex. That we get too attached. That the oxytocin makes us catch feelings for men we don't even like. And yes, the biology is accurate. But it’s not the full story. This episode breaks down what's actually happening in your body during casual sex/situationships - the oxytocin, the bonding window, the orgasm gap - to answer the question: women too emotional for one night stands… Whether you love casual sex, have done it in the past and are reflecting back with great humour (like me), new into a relationship and just genuinely curious - this one's for you. In this episode we cover: Do women regret casual sex more than men? What's actually happening biologically for men and women after sex and why it feels so different Do men and women experience different amounts of satisfaction during one night stands? The post-sex bonding window - what it is, why it matters, and how to use it intentionally Five practical things you can actually do before, during and after casual sex to feel good about it 🤝 CONNECT Follow Monique Took: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@itsmoniquetook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Follow In Her Era: ⁠⁠⁠@inhererapodcast⁠⁠⁠ Subscribe to the Wellness Edit⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - the curated wellness newsletter for ambitious women 🧾 LINKS & RECEIPTS 1.

    How To Speak Confidently w/ Sarah Ruby Leffley

    There are women who are brilliant at what they do and completely invisible because of how they communicate. And then there are women who walk into a room and own it before they say a single word. The difference isn't talent. It's not qualifications. It's not even confidence. It's your voice. And most of us were never taught how to use it. Sarah Ruby Leffley is a communication educator, law & politics graduate, and one of the most honest people I've had on this show. We talk about why women water themselves down, why being "good at communicating" is probably not what you think it is, and the patterns in your voice that are making you less successful than you think you are. In this episode we cover: Why you can be a 10 out of 10 at what you do but speak at a 3, and that’s how people will perceive you. The patterns in your voice that signal you don't trust yourself and how to identify yours How perfectionism, people pleasing and the fear of being wrong are controlling how you show up in every room. Why saying no is a complete sentence in theory but completely falls apart in practice, and what to do instead How to have hard conversations without erupting or shutting down, Sarah's two step framework that actually works The one question to ask the people closest to you that will give you more self awareness than any personality test ever could You didn't lose your voice in one moment. You lost it in every small moment you abandoned yourself just to be liked. 🤝 CONNECT Sarah Ruby Leffley Instagram: @sarahrubyleffleyFree Masterclass "The Composed Communicator" The Podcast Follow Monique Took: ⁠⁠⁠⁠@itsmoniquetook⁠⁠⁠⁠ Follow In Her Era: ⁠@inhererapodcast⁠ 🧾 OTHER LINKS & RECEIPTS ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to the Wellness Edit⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - the curated wellness newsletter for ambitious women ⭐ SUPPORT THE SHOW Please Subscribe, Rate, and Review over on Apple Podcasts to help support the show!

    Are You In High Functioning Health Decline?

    You're still showing up. Still getting things done. Still performing at a high level. But something feels quietly off. You're tired in a way that sleep doesn't fix. Your brain feels like it's working harder than it should for the same output. You're snapping at people you love over nothing. And every time you think about addressing it you tell yourself, I'll sort it out when things are less busy. This episode is about something I call high functioning health decline, the stage of health that happens before burnout, before the dramatic crash, before your body forces you to stop. It's the stage most high achieving women are living in right now without realising it. I know because this is what I experienced (until my body completely collapsed). In this episode we cover: What high functioning health decline actually is The allostatic load: what's actually happening inside your biology when you keep pushing through The three reasons high achieving women are dangerously good at ignoring their symptoms Why "just regulate your nervous system" is the wellness industry's laziest advice Three strategies to integrate into your life now that work with your ambition, not against it The Podcast Follow Monique Took: ⁠⁠⁠⁠@itsmoniquetook⁠⁠⁠⁠ Follow In Her Era: ⁠@inhererapodcast⁠ 🧾 LINKS & RECEIPTS ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Watch FULLY CHARGED ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠- watch the FREE Masterclass of the exact framework I teach my 6 & 7 figure clients to sustain the level of success they want (without burning out) ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to the Wellness Edit⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - the curated wellness newsletter for ambitious women ⭐ SUPPORT THE SHOW Please Subscribe, Rate, and Review over on Apple Podcasts to help support the show!

    Are Men Infecting Your Vagina? Vaginal Health 101 with Sarah Galloy of Pinc Wellness

    Let's be honest, nobody taught us this stuff. Not in school, not at the doctor, not anywhere. I'm joined by Sarah Galloy, founder of Pinc Wellness, and we are going there. All of it. BV, yeast infections, your vaginal microbiome, why antibiotics keep failing you, why your partner might actually be reinfecting you, and why so many women have been quietly suffering and blaming themselves for something that was never their fault to begin with. I never want any woman to feel embarrased about her body and topics that have been considered “taboo”, so we made this conversational as real, vulnerable and pretty candid as possible- nothig was off the table.

    Sh*t That Stops Mattering After Your 20s (But We Still Hold On To)

    We all walked out of our early 20s carrying a checklist we never agreed to. What your body count should be. Your friend group size. Whether you were hitting the timeline. Whether enough people liked you. Whether you were busy enough, cool enough, on track enough. And we were deciding it all when our brains weren't even finished yet. In this episode I'm getting into the things women are still quietly measuring themselves against that were never worth the weight in the first place. The friendships we're forcing. The timelines we're white-knuckling. The opinions of people who were never going where we're going. This isn't a listicle. It's a conversation about the rules we inherited, and why you're allowed to put them down now. Even if you're already in your 30s.

    Health Download: What is Inflammation (And Why You Probably Have It)

    If you've ever searched "why am I so tired" or "why do I feelinflamed" and found yourself adding turmeric to your cart and moving on — this episode is for you. Because inflammation is real, it's measurable, and forhigh-performing women it is often quietly running in the background for years before it becomes a crisis. Today I'm breaking down exactly what it is, what'sactually driving it (and it goes way deeper than your diet), and what you can do about it at a root-cause level. Key takeaway: Most women are treating the smoke alarm and ignoring the fire. Inflammation has specific, measurable root causes and until you identify *your* driver, you are guessing. The goal isn't to eat more anti-inflammatory foods. The goal is to find out what is activating your immune system and address it directly. 🧾 LINKS & RECEIPTS ⁠Watch FULLY CHARGED⁠ — the FREE Masterclass to start your 2026 at an advantage ⭐ SUPPORT THE SHOW Subscribe, Rate, and Review on Apple Podcasts — it genuinely helps more women find the show.

    From Hosting Oprah to Health Crisis: How to Design the Life You Actually Want w Ameera Virani

    Ameera spent 20 years running global events, hosting Oprah, Tony Robbins, Maya Angelou and Ellen DeGeneres on stages before she'd even hit her 30s. She's now a life and business coach helping high-achieving women stop building a life they don't actually get to live. This one is for the woman who is doing everything - building something big, showing up for everyone - and quietly wondering why it still doesn't feel like enough. We talk about the myth of work-life balance, what it actually means to design your life instead of just survive it, and why the women most likely to burn out are the ones who are best at pushing through. You don't need permission to build a life you actually enjoy. But this episode might be the nudge you didn't know you needed. I can’t wait for you to listen. 🤝 CONNECT WITH AMEERA Instagram: @ameera.viraniPodcast: The Designed LifeWebsite: ameeravirani.com Join Her newsletter: The Designed Life 🧾 LINKS & RECEIPTS Watch FULLY CHARGED — the FREE Masterclass to start your 2026 at an advantage ⭐ SUPPORT THE SHOW Subscribe, Rate, and Review on Apple Podcasts — it genuinely helps more women find the show.
