We were lucky to catch up with Monique Ray recently and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Monique, thanks for joining us today. Looking back, what’s an important lesson you learned at a prior job?

During my time as a funeral director, I had the unique privilege of witnessing the end chapters of many lives. It was a humbling experience, one that taught me one of the most profound lessons I’ve ever learned: be present and live your best life.

Day after day, I worked with families who had lost someone they loved dearly. Some shared stories of a life well-lived—full of joy, laughter, courage, and connection. Others were marked with regret, conversations that never happened, dreams left unfulfilled, and moments lost to hesitation. The one common thread? By the time someone reached me, it was final. There were no do-overs, no time to say “I wish I had,” and no way to rewrite their story.

And what struck me most was that they couldn’t take anything with them. Not their possessions, accolades, or achievements. All that remained was the legacy they left behind—the imprint of how they lived, how they loved, and the lives they touched. It was a powerful reminder that life isn’t about material success or chasing perfection; it’s about giving it your all, living fully, and leaving an impact that matters.

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

My brand Pathway to Freedom isn’t just something I created—it’s a reflection of my soul, my journey, and my life. The Sacred Feminine Warrior is me. It’s the hardships I’ve endured, the victories I’ve celebrated, and the life lessons that shaped me into who I am today. Every part of this program is infused with my story—my struggles, my healing, and my ultimate transformation.

I didn’t come to this work by accident. Life threw challenges my way—moments of heartbreak, loss, self-doubt, and soul-searching. But through those experiences, I found my strength. I discovered that within every hardship lies an opportunity for growth, and within every challenge, there is a warrior waiting to rise. I learned how to heal my wounds, reclaim my power, and step fully into my purpose.

I am most proud of the transformations I’ve witnessed in the women I’ve worked with through my Sacred Feminine Warrior and chakra coaching program. Seeing women awaken to their true potential, heal deep emotional wounds, and ascend into their most empowered, authentic selves is my greatest joy. It fills me with pride to know that my work helps women reclaim their power, restore balance to their energy centers, and step boldly into their purpose with courage, grace, and strength. The ripple effect of their healing—on their families, communities, and the world—is a testament to the power of this work.

Whether you’re seeking emotional healing, spiritual growth, or a way to connect more deeply with yourself, my programs are designed to meet you where you are and guide you toward your highest potential. It’s about awakening the warrior within and living the life you deserve.

What’s been the best source of new clients for you?

The best source of new clients for me has undoubtedly been word of mouth and referrals. There’s something deeply powerful about someone sharing their own transformational experience and recommending my work because it genuinely changed their life.

When women come to me through referrals, they arrive with a sense of trust and openness, knowing that someone they care about has experienced profound healing, growth, and empowerment through my programs. It’s the most meaningful way to connect with new clients because it’s rooted in real stories of transformation and impact.

For me, every referral is a testament to the ripple effect of this work. When one woman awakens and heals, she naturally inspires others around her to do the same. It’s a beautiful cycle of empowerment, and I’m honored to be part of it.

How do you keep in touch with clients and foster brand loyalty?

I believe that staying connected with my clients is essential, not just for their continued growth but also for building genuine relationships. After working together, I make it a point to follow up with a call, text, or email to check in and see how they’re doing. Whether it’s celebrating their progress, offering encouragement, or simply letting them know I’m here for them, these touchpoints help maintain a sense of support and connection.

For me, it’s not just about providing a service—it’s about building lasting relationships rooted in trust, care, and mutual growth.
