“There is within us a fundamental dis-ease, an unquenchable fire that renders us incapable, in this life, of ever coming to full peace. This desire lies at the center of our lives, in the marrow of our bones, and in the deep recesses of the soul. At the heart of all great literature, poetry, art, philosophy, psychology, and religion lies the naming and analyzing of this desire. Spirituality is, ultimately, about what we do with that desire. What we do with our longings, both in terms of handling the pain and the hope they bring us, that is our spirituality . . . Augustine says: ‘You have made us for yourself, Lord, and our hearts are restless until they rest in you.’ Spirituality is about what we do with our unrest.”

Hello! My name is Monica, and I’m the Founder & CEO of Berlin Skin. I am also a wife, mom, and love to spend time traveling and adventuring with my family.

I created this platform to share bits of my life journey and use my voice to help and encourage others on theirs. So much of what I have learned over the years has been from other wise people through their struggles/victories, and I hope to do the same for anyone else who lands on a piece of content from me.

I am pursuing a life of digital minimalism, so I don’t do all the social media platforms, but you can find me over on TikTok and Substack where I occasionally post.
