Free gift: We can do a free month of our Shine Living Community Digital App! And we will share about our just launched bestselling cookbook EAT DRINK SHINE Second Edition by the SHINE Sisters. How?

About the Guests:

@shinelivingcommunity

We were born into this lifetime as triplet sisters. It is this relationship that taught us about what sisterhood means and how to navigate a world that constantly compares us to each other. Being triplets makes for a unique existence and naturally created an early curiosity to discover who we are as individuals and the roles we play as part of the whole.

We have seen in our own family how food, love, and connection heals. Our brother Dennis was diagnosed with a degenerative disease called metachromatic leukodystrophy as a young boy and his doctors gave him 25 years to live. Today he is in his 50s and even his doctors can’t deny that he is a living miracle. This is proof of how love heals and when we nourish our bodies and spirit for optimal vitality, we transform our health and our lives.

We have discovered that when we stand tall in our unique beings and live from a place of community and healing, we have the courage to be our fullest selves and create big impact in the world.

Over the span of 20+ years, we created iconic restaurants and gathering places, each of them about building community and connection to one another, to our bodies, and to our spirit.

Through our epic dance parties, nourishing food, herbal potions, cocktails, classes, workshops, and retreats, we bring deep nourishment and community together ~ while sharing our own unique gifts through all of it.

We created Shine Living Community as a safe space where you are seen, heard, accepted, and respected. This space is a nurturing community where wellness is accessible and fun for the whole family.

About the Guest:

Monica Ion is the Founder of the School of Universal Laws and FTP Methodology. Spending 15,000 hours between 2016 and 2024 working with clients worldwide, she has supported entrepreneurs to achieve exponential growth and assisted women in creating personal, financial, and professional fulfillment.

Earning degrees in Psychology and Sociology combined with a background in math and science, Monica discovered the 7 Universal Laws—a framework that makes client breakthroughs predictable and repeatable. Universal laws are fundamental principles that are thought to govern the structure and behavior of the universe. They are seen as constant, unchanging, and applicable to all things, regardless of time or space. The 7 Universal Laws that Monica uses are found to be the most relevant to understanding how the mind operates and creates lasting transformation.

Monica is the Co-Founder of Inspired Life Circle and was rated as Romania’s #1 coach by the country’s top business leaders. Her expertise has been featured in media outlets such as Forbes, BDTV and The Woman and her forthcoming book, The 7 Universal Laws, will be available on Amazon in May 2025.

She envisions a world where every home and business has someone who knows how to ask the right questions based on the universal laws to create transformation. In her spare time, Monica takes long walks, admires nature and spends time with her family.
