I Choose To Listen: A Poet’s Reflection of Navigating Anxiety and Depression is a book that is near and dear to my heart. It’s a gentle yet transformative reflection on navigating anxiety, depression, and the quiet moments of becoming. Through poetic insight and honest reflection, this work invites you inward—into the spaces where forgotten pieces of self still live, and where parts once hidden for safekeeping are ready to be reclaimed.
It's more than a book; it is an invitation to radical self-acceptance and harmony. A reminder that you deserve to be seen, heard, and understood without judgment. Within these pages, you are encouraged to slow down, to breathe, and to practice mindfulness, all while remembering the wholeness of who you are.
In a world that often demands productivity over presence, strength over softness, and endurance over care, I Choose To Listen offers another way. It challenges the habits of self-abandonment and calls you back to your own inner wisdom, empowering you to take action and change your relationship with yourself.
Hey Love! I created an e-book for us "e-book gurus" who are all about action and change. Some of us haven't purchased a physical copy of a book in forever! That's okay, no judgement here! The transformative energy of this phenomenal tool is safely maintained in the harmony of these electronic pages, inviting mindfulness as we engage with its content. Keep showing up and doing the work!

Hi Love! I am Mon Cheri of Mon Cheri’s Passions. It feels really good to say that. If you have ever birthed a business or achieved an important goal, you know exactly what I mean.
Now, our story - Mon Cheri’s Passions was birthed through my life experiences, the encouragement of my loved ones, and my innate fiery will to never give up, no matter what. My journey is likely no different than yours. Like many of us, it’s involved profound loss, deep emotional wounds, and relationships that have challenged the very core of my being. It’s involved debilitating grief, adversity, and seasons that tried to break me—some that almost did. And when I felt I was at my end, I made a choice; a choice to keep going. I kept going long enough to find the strength to face myself again. I kept going long enough to begin hearing my own voice again. I kept going long enough to listen to me again. I kept going long enough to believe that I was worthy of my own love and healing again. I kept going long enough to just keep going. And little by little, inch by inch, breath by breath, prayer by prayer, the wounds of my past became the soil from which my healing, purpose, and compassion began to grow, sprouting up new opportunities, new experiences, new connections, new versions of myself, and the type of soul family that I never thought possible. From that same soil came Mon Cheri’s Passions—a loving and safe place for others to do the same. To give themselves the time and space to rediscover who they are in their purest and most loving forms.
As the quote says, “And the day came when the risk to remain tight in the bud became much more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” We are here, and it’s time that we bring what we’ve learned in shadow to the light, allowing it to teach, develop, and transform into something new, much like the journey of the caterpillar to the butterfly. This is generational work. May our families’ legacies be forever changed. May our ancestors be forever honored in our choice for radical self-acceptance and self-love through healing, mindfulness and transformation.

Every day, more people are choosing themselves and that’s something worth celebrating!
Each time someone says “yes” to their healing journey, my heart is filled with joy because I know that one yes often blooms into awareness, deeper self-love, and the courage to embrace the life they deserve. Healing doesn’t happen overnight, but every step forward matters.
Whether you’ve just joined the community or have been walking this journey for a while, welcome. Thank you for choosing yourself! I can’t wait to watch you bloom.
