Message from Monique, Retreat Leader!

 Hostess & Organizer: Monique Williams, MA, Certified Life Coach
Monique is the face and inspiration behind the Girlfriends Weekend Retreat! After launching Beginnings Family Enrichment, LLC full time in fall of 2016, Monique experienced the overwhelming feelings of it not being "the right time".  She had her own doubts about her ability to manage a business and support her family when the finances changed, and battled the thoughts of feeling like a failure when numbers didn't add up. She braved the questions about quitting a stable career path, especially when better job offers were beating down the door.  All of this on the foundation of a single mom entrepreneur. However, she was determined to not to let those limiting beliefs prevent her from fulfilling her God-given purpose and lifelong passion. As a result, Monique created the space to help, Girlfriends Chat!, to help women rediscover themselves and unearth what they truly want and deserve​ in life! Monique continues to nurture her thriving business offering not only consulting and community counseling services to human service based agencies, but she also provides women's empowerment and life coaching services.
