High Vibrations with Monica Hall: Adoptee, Birth Mother, Trauma Survivor, and Author of Practically Still a Virgin
This interview is a wild ride… sometimes hilarious and often serious. I share my poignant journey of faith, adoption, and overcoming childhood Trauma. From the daily novenas to my early experiences that shaped my life. Mine is a story of resilience and hope.
In this, sometimes hilarious and very entertaining interview I discuss my journey from leaving corporate America to starting my own soap company and finding my indigenous roots. Along the way, I’ve had some memorable experiences, like selling peppermint soap to a gay community, which was a big success. I also open up about my personal life, including my relationships and the challenges I faced during my childhood.
My spiritual practices are important to me, and I believe in maintaining a high vibration. Storytelling has been a powerful tool in my healing process, and I reflect on the impact of adoption on individuals and families. I’ve had my share of difficult family dynamics, including the need to distance myself from toxic family members and the realization that I had been enabling their behavior. My upbringing had a profound effect on my relationships and self-worth, and it’s something I continue to work through.
Writing my memoir was a challenging yet rewarding process, especially when it came to condensing my story. Reconnecting with my biological daughter and navigating the complexities of being an indigenous person have been significant parts of my journey. Overall, my story is one of resilience, healing, and the ongoing search for identity and belonging.
