Meet Monica
FOUNDER & CEO OF WANDERWILD FAMILY RETREATS, COMMUNITY GUIDE
With a background in the corporate world of petroleum engineering; fast paced, high stress, masculine authority was how she thrived for a decade. Stepping into motherhood was the most life changing transition Monica had ever experienced, and it was the first time in her life she had felt like a complete failure. After spending months of her maternity leave in nature, creating mental space, and presence, she connected with her truest self and the woman she is meant to be. She is now on a journey of unconditioning from what she was told success should look like, both personally and professionally, to a shift in following her own inner voice and a more pronounced understanding of intuitive guidance. Originally from New Jersey, Monica has experienced moments of surrender from her emergency c-section during COVID-19 in a foreign country, to redemption with an unmedicated VBAC through hypnobirthing, to her daughter’s near death experience in the ICU. These experiences unique to motherhood have created an opening for a profound spiritual awakening where Monica has found herself receiving intuitive messages and guidance all around her.

Meet Carolyn
COMMUNITY GUIDE
Coming from a background as a pediatric nurse, Carolyn thought that she had a head start on motherhood, but she was wrong. She struggled significantly with postpartum anxiety, with most of her anxiety rooting from the pressure to be the ‘perfect’ mother; to live up to unrealistic expectations from society, and make decisions because others told her she ‘should’. Through this experience, she discovered that motherhood had a way of illuminating areas where she could stretch and grow. This landed her on a path of self-healing and self-discovery. By becoming wildly aware, and learning to trust her inner guidance, she is building a life and motherhood that is fueled by intentionality and purpose. She believes in the power of mind-body-soul practices and consciously creating a motherhood that feels good.
