It's that time of the month again. No, not that one – it's The Juice with Monique Barry! For this very special milestone, we chat ego. What is it? Why do we have one?

Hola! Happy Thursday! You know the whole your vibe attracts your tribe? Well, yeah, it's not just a cliche, it's actually true. The frequency you're vibrating at determines who and what you are attracting into your life. Like attracts like. Energy attracts energy. We're all just magnets, really. So if you want more love, joy, abundance, prosperity and success, you have to embody it. You have to rise to that vibration to call it in. How exactly do I do that!? I hear you ask. Well, wonder no more!...

Happy Thursday! For this week's episode, I discuss patterns, using my own example of something that happened to me recently where I watched my old-programmed patterning play out in front of my eyes. We all have a programmed set of beliefs and responses, shaped by conditioning, traumas, past experiences. The question is whether they are useful or are they holding you back from reaching your potential? Have you outgrown what once served you? Are you ready to be released from their grip hold and us...
