From Corporate Career to Mission-Driven Entrepreneurship
After nearly a decade in the corporate world, I transitioned into entrepreneurship with a purpose. I founded Spouse-ly, an online marketplace that empowers military and first responder families to market their products and services—no matter where life takes them. Our team is dedicated to fostering a community that prioritizes learning, connection, and income-generating opportunities for our nation’s heroes.
But my passion for entrepreneurship didn’t stop there. I’ve always believed that with the right support, anyone can shine in business. That’s why I created Build, Launch, and Thrive—an online course designed to help early-stage entrepreneurs turn their ideas into real, revenue-generating businesses with clarity and confidence. And for those craving more personalized support, my 1:1 Business Bestie Consulting
was built to be the kind of resource I wish I had when I was starting out: real-life advice, actionable strategy, and someone truly in your corner.
I’m deeply passionate about helping others build meaningful businesses from the ground up—and showing that with heart, hustle, and a little guidance, anything is possible.
Wearing Many Hats (Sound Familiar?)
Military life often requires wearing many hats, and I know firsthand that the hustle and juggle can seem impossible at times. Balancing family, career ambitions, and frequent moves isn't easy, but it's taught me so much. These experiences fuel my passion for supporting fellow entrepreneurs while piecing the puzzle together as you go!
Multi-Faceted Entrepreneur
My background is a bit of a mixed bag – in the best way possible! I've dabbled in marketing, communications, business development, logistics, customer management, and even broadcasting. Throw in an MBA in Marketing, and you've got a recipe for some serious business enthusiasm. I love using this diverse skill set to help other entrepreneurs find their footing.
Business Cheerleader
If there's one thing that gets me excited, it's talking about business. Whether you're just starting out or looking to scale up, I'm always eager to share insights, swap stories, and help fellow entrepreneurs succeed. There's nothing more rewarding than seeing others in our community achieve their dreams.
My Go-to Motto
Growth begins when comfort ends." This little mantra has been my North Star, guiding me from the familiar corporate world into the exciting (and sometimes scary) realm of entrepreneurship. It's a reminder that amazing things happen when we push our boundaries – and I'm here to help you push yours!

"Monica has been someone I can always turn to for advice as a newer business owner. She has been instrumental in many ways from brainstorming revenue streams, recommending tools & systems, and even introducing me to other incredible people who have helped me get to the next level of growth with their own expertise. She a natural connector, she listens to what you need, and I can always count on her to be there to support and cheer me on when I need it most."

"I was very fortunate to meet Monica not long after my layoff and when I was considering starting a business that would include e-commerce, and I immediately began benefiting from her advice when we got on the phone. Her experience with starting up Spouse-ly on her own and her knowledge of how to start a new business is truly inspiring!"
