Welcome to another episode of MOJO: The Meaning of Life and Business! Today’s conversation is all about finding and harnessing the true power of your voice—whether it’s shaping your career, fueling your mission, or simply fostering authentic connections in an increasingly digital world. Host Jennifer Glass is joined by special guest Monique McDonald, a Grammy-nominated opera singer, international speaker, and sought-after life coach who has dedicated her work to helping entrepreneurs and speakers uncover their unique message and let their voices become a superpower.

In this episode, Jennifer and Monique dive deep into how our voices differentiate us from the rest of the animal kingdom and why using them with intention can drive change, build community, and inspire those around us. You’ll hear thought-provoking stories about how even the subtle energy we radiate can foster remarkable connections (including a memorable “mama deer” encounter), and you'll discover why being heart-centered and authentic is the key to standing out, especially in times defined by digital interactions and distractions.

Monique shares her expertise in guiding people to align their voice with their true passion and power—breaking free from the trap of just “sounding like an expert” and instead embracing what makes you uniquely magnetic. They tackle the importance of genuine communication, the gift of undivided attention, and how building real community leads to greater impact and resilience. Plus, Monique offers actionable tips on preparing to be seen and heard with confidence, and even provides an exclusive visibility kit to help listeners step into their most compelling presence.

Whether you’re an aspiring speaker, an entrepreneur, or simply someone eager to make a deeper impact with your words, this episode is packed with wisdom, warmth, and practical advice to help you tune into your voice and use it to change your world.
