I can\u2019t wait to share the exciting news. After 5+ years I am rebranding my podcast. I will no longer be calling my podcast \u201cMornings with Monette.\u201d I have loved each and every week, talking to you about different topics, with my main focus on  personal development and self-improvement from a biblical perspective. I feel my strongest message with my podcast (and, therefore, these posts) was to encourage you to step out of your comfort zone and try new things. I wanted you to experience the same passion and joy I was finding for myself by doing this very thing. For me, creating the podcast from scratch, while I had no idea how to do it, and getting it launched was a new thing. It pushed me outside of my comfort zone. I was terrible, but I appreciate all who showed up and continued to listen as I improved. From doing something that really scared me, not knowing if anyone would listen, and now almost 20,000 downloads later with 285 episodes–and expanding my reach through these blog posts. I can\u2019t tell you how much it has changed me! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the years, I have shared so many personal stories about my own life, good and bad, to help illustrate some point I was making. We got through COVID together. I\u2019ve had the privilege to share my Christian faith and share with you scriptures and how the Bible\u2019s truths and being in the word (which is my main inspiration and the values I live by) that would encourage you to do the same. I\u2019ve shared so many helpful books that I\u2019ve been fortunate enough to read, and inspirational podcasts I\u2019ve listened to, and mentors I\u2019ve had who have been life changing. What drove me to do this was a success principle I learned early in my life, that you are the books you read and the people you associate with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I did so many different series. I did a full series of podcast episodes on \u201cHow I sold books door-to-door as a broke college student to put myself through college. I did a series on creating my own personal life blueprint and how you should use those ideas to create one for yourself. I will tell you, like I shared on a podcast I was interviewed on, when I was asked what podcast series was I most proud of, I was able to say without a doubt it was my series on marriage. I felt I was speaking from the heart, it came very easily for me to talk on a topic I feel very passionate about. Marriage is God\u2019s plan for us and outside of our personal relationship with Jesus Christ our next most important and valued relationship is our marriage. I\u2019m sharing all of this with you to lead up to this moment because my new branded podcast and reveal is \u2026here it is\u2026.drum roll, I\u2019m proud to announce\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rebrand of my podcast is\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201c Miracle Marriage Makeover\u2014 Rebuild Intimacy and Connection with Your Spouse in the Empty Nest\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What you can expect:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Build connection, intimacy, desire, romance, and improve sex drive for the empty nester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who it\u2019s for:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ve raised your kids\u2014now it\u2019s time to rebuild your marriage. Welcome to Miracle Marriage Makeover, my rebranded podcast (and blog posts) is for Christian empty nesters ready to deepen intimacy, spark connection, and bring back joy and desire with their spouse. Through faith, mindset shifts, and practical strategies, I\u2019ll help you reignite romance and rediscover the miracle still waiting for you in your marriage. Roommates to Soulmates!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does it sound? I hope you\u2019re as excited as I am! I have been praying and asking God: \u201cShow me who I can help Lord? What direction do you want me to take my podcast? What have you been preparing me for? Where can I make an impact for you?\u201d God revealed to me the answer. He took me back to a time when I was sitting on my back porch, numb after my sister-in-law, my mother-in-law and my own mom had all died within a few short months of each other. My youngest daughter had just left for college. I felt pretty hopeless. Our house was full of the stuff we had brought to our house after cleaning out my mother-in-law\u2019s and my mom\u2019s home. I felt sadness, grief and overwhelm. My marriage was fine, but nothing great. Have you ever been in this place, or are you in this place?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was when God showed me that he has been preparing me for \u201csuch a time as this.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMonette you are going to rebrand your podcast and help woman create a marriage that is going to be beyond their wildest dreams,\u201d\u2014just like he\u2019s done for me! I\u2019ve experienced a miracle in my own marriage and now he has shown me: \u201cI want you to help other women experience a miracle in their marriage.\u201d My new adventure will start with my podcast, creating a Facebook group, a community where we come together to encourage one another, realizing we are not alone. We can share email addresses so we can communicate with one another, and I will be offering coaching. I\u2019m so excited to be at this place and happy you\u2019re with me!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s my story. God preformed a miracle in my marriage and that is what I want for you, I know it\u2019s possible. Not because I have a perfect marriage, I\u2019m just like you, at times it has been messy and complicated\u2014because that is marriage! I\u2019ll be sharing these stories and many more in future episodes\/posts. As I am working on this topic, my husband and I are in our 35th year of marriage. This renewed focus is for the woman who is right where I was, the kids are on their own, her marriage is fine. But her heart wishes she could go back to when she was first married, when she was so madly in love. But now she has settled to be comfortable with each other, you\u2019re in your routines and habits but there is no spark. You and your husband are basically roommates. You miss the connection, the passion, the fun. Well buckle up, it doesn\u2019t have to be this way. There are miracles you can\u2019t even imagine. I\u2019m so glad you\u2019re here! I\u2019m so excited you\u2019re a part of my rebrand!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My focus again will be on the woman who is heading to be an empty nester or has been in this place for a while. She wants so much more. She believes it\u2019s possible, she\u2019s just not sure how to rekindle the connection and passion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The one thing I want you to do; your call to action is to share my podcast\/posts with that woman that is in this place of wanting more from her marriage. The new name of my podcast is \u201cMiracle Marriage Makeover.\u201d If you are that person, stay tuned. You\u2019re going to love the direction of the new podcast\/posts!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
