Hi, I’m Monica Castle, Certified Spiritual Life Coach, and my journey has been one of deep transformation. For years, I worked as an emergency room nurse—a profession I felt called to from a very young age. I loved helping people in crisis, being the calming presence amid chaos, and having the ability to make a difference in the moments that truly mattered. But over time, I noticed something shifting within me.
