As the founder of The Forest Guide Circle and The Flourishment Collective, she has cultivated a global community of like-minded individuals who share her passion for a more intentional and fulfilling existence.
Lost Intentionally is an invitation to reassess your own life’s trajectory and explore the untapped potential within. Monique’s memoir will inspire you to intentionally lose yourself in the pursuit of a richer, more meaningful life.

An honest and vulnerable telling of one woman’s awakening and coming home to herself in midlife. An easy read and yet deeply moving and transformative. I mostly read it in 2 sittings days apart to give myself time to digest and reflect on it. There’s a lot of wisdom and teachings shared in these pages. Very inspiring.
This story will especially resonate with anyone who’s been deeply entrenched in a day job and craving more out of life.
