About Me

I'm Monica Flaherty, a risk taking entrepreneur, real estate renovator, fitness enthusiast and aspiring jazz singer. I love animals, I'm passionate about my vegetable gardens, and I care deeply for my friends and family. I've spent my life doing what calls to me instead of what's expected.

We all carry "Invisible Cages," unspoken rules about how we should behave, what we're allowed to want, how much space we can take up.  I'm discovering freedom by naming what I can't see. 

These "Invisible Cages" feel so natural we mistake them for our own choices. I write about recognizing these restrictions and choosing bravely to step away from the outdated scripts. Old social punishments are losing their strength. And they disappear even more quickly when we support each other. 

Let's explore together the art of breaking free - through music that awakens our souls, spaces that nurture our community, bodies that carry us with strength, and the courage to live knowing our desires matter as much as anyone else's, because they do.
