#BADE · Who is she

She knows
there's more —

and she's done
waiting.

More joy. More purpose. More hell yes. No more someday. She’s ready for right now — to claim her dreams, her desires, and the life she was made for.

A quick peek

Monica Inestroza-Curtis — known as Mic — is a speaker, storyteller, emcee, producer, and writer. Wildly obsessed with connecting deeply, uncovering stories, and creating spaces where women feel seen, heard, and valued. Her motto? #BADE — Be Anything, Do Everything.

I held the key to my dreams.
The only thing in my way
was me.

Do you ever feel stuck in a loop — just going through the motions? I've been there. Stuck. Going through the motions. Doing fine and feeling nothing.

Then I realized something. I held the key the whole time. The only thing standing between me and the life I wanted was the story I kept telling myself about why I couldn't have it.

Watching too many women play small — not because they lacked talent, but because they lacked permission — I made a decision. I was going to dedicate myself to championing our journey. To boldly taking up space. To leaving our mark on the world.

No more shrinking to fit a box someone else built. No more "this or that." We are worthy of a life overflowing with purpose, love, and the freedom to pursue what actually lights us up.

To Be Anything, Do Everything we desire.
#BADE

Mic is a speaker, storyteller, and community builder She shows up for women who are done asking for permission.

"I believe the world will shift radically when women take up space and know their currency."

With a background in sales, leadership, and personal development, she has spent years navigating spaces where women are often encouraged to shrink. Through the BADE Method and keynote speaking, she changes the conversation — helping women build confidence, break limiting beliefs, and take action toward the life they actually want.

Whether leading an immersive BADE workshop or standing on a stage, she creates space for women to stop shrinking and start showing up — for real, for good.

✍️
Always in hand

Pen. Journal. A plate of salsa. The holy trinity of any good morning.

✈️
Ready to go

Jet off to new places, tennis racket in tow. Adventure? Always. Strapped in and ready to ride.

Morning ritual

A hearty cup of jo, journaling, and gratitude. In that order. Every single day.

🎧
Fuel for the fire
💃
Non-negotiables

Dancing. Family first. Real talk as a go-to flavor. Heart, style, and soul — always.

🎤
Current obsessions

Tackling headstands, pull-ups, and learning to sing. Oh — and officially a Swiftie. No apologies.

Nothing happened to me.
It all happened for me.

I'm all ears for your perspective. Opinions? They're just that — opinions. I thrive on learning and listening, so don't hold back.

Humanity is my passion. I lead with curiosity, always ready to ask questions and go deeper. And deep down, I truly believe people are inherently good.

I've experienced my fair share of life's challenges — pain, loss, hunger, sadness. But I'm still standing. And those scars? I wear them boldly. On the other side of resilience lies my empathy, waiting to connect with yours.

I'm your go-to empath, human design enthusiast, and truth-teller. With a penchant for plant-based living and a wild dose of optimism — I'm all about lifting spirits.

  • CuriosityI lead with questions, not answers. Every perspective is a door worth opening.
  • EmpathyLived experience isn't a liability. It's the whole point. The scars are the credibility.
  • TruthReal talk is my go-to flavor. No sugarcoating. No performance. Just honest.
  • OptimismNot the naive kind. The kind that's been tested, broken, and chose to come back anyway.
  • PurposeMy daily mission: show up authentically, spark joy, and drive positive change.

“I believe in the power of women, the passion of their dreams, and the magic of possibilities.”
