In this episode, Monique Doughty a.k.a. “Nurse Mo” shares her tips for self-love, living life to the fullest, earning what you’re worth, and so much more.

Monique truly defines the word ‘Resilient’: able to withstand or recover quickly from difficult conditions. Her life was far from easy, and she’s failed, but her persistence and determination kept her from giving up.

From growing up in a bad neighborhood, to working for $2 per hour plus tips with a very expensive degree, Monique never let obstacles stand in her way. Now, she is paying it forward and helping young women to live their dream life, both professionally and mentally.

Monique is a Critical Care Traveling Registered Nurse. She grew up in South Philadelphia and quickly realized that she didn’t like what was going on around her. She wanted to make a better life for herself and going back was not an option. She attended Hampton University in 2006, and since has been living a nomad lifestyle and traveling the world as a nurse and influencer to young women through her booming brand, The Resilient Nurse.
