NICE TO MEET YOU

I'm Monica Packer

After riding the all-or-nothing pendulum swing for most of my life, everything changed when I chose PROGRESS over perfection.

About Progress started as a little challenge to myself to see if I could grow outside of perfectionism.

This challenge became a years-long experiment that changed every area of my life.

Along the way, I uncovered the truest model to sustainable personal development: it's progress made practical.

Through my podcast, courses, programs, and coaching, I am passionate about helping other women similarly change and grow in ways that stick.

" I love that Monica can take a topic that I think I have mastered, like self care, and give me a whole new perspective on it! I learn so much from her. I feel like she is real, someone I can relate to, not just some expert or professional that doesn’t experience the same things I do."

- Chantel, podcast listener

"I love Monica’s podcast and everything she stands for! I’ve always felt a little broken because I’ve always had the “all or nothing” perfectionist mindset where if I can’t do it perfectly I don’t do it at all! Every episode has been helpful and left me feeling more okay with doing an average job at things and not expecting perfection! "

- Rebecca, podcast listener

"About Progress is the perfect marriage of motivating me to make (manageable) changes in my life while also being realistic about what that looks like for a normal human to make changes."
