The 7 Secrets to Creating a Life You Love: A Practical Guide for Women in Leadership* is a book that distills decades of Monique's experience into actionable frameworks for intentional living. It's the book she wishes she'd had in her 30s and 40s when she was navigating the challenges of leadership, motherhood, career growth, and life design.
The seven secrets cover: being your authentic self, spending time intentionally, making choices one at a time, not letting your job take over your life, speaking to yourself like a best friend, creating the story you tell others, and using intention to set your environment up for success. This is not theory. It's a practical, no-nonsense book filled with tools that work.

You can also order bulk copies for your team or organization through Monique's website at moniquedemaio.com/book, which includes options for signed copies and custom packages for corporate events or book clubs.
