Monè Campbell on Life, Lessons & Legacy

We’re looking forward to introducing you to Monè Campbell. Check out our conversation below.

Hi Monè, thank you for taking the time to reflect back on your journey with us. I think our readers are in for a real treat. There is so much we can all learn from each other and so thank you again for opening up with us. Let’s get into it: What do you think others are secretly struggling with—but never say?
As a collective, I think we struggle with the art of surrender. Surrendering to the natural flow of life can be regarded as negligent, unrealistic, or even indolent — especially when we’ve been programmed to perform. Society has conditioned us to plan our lives based on external expectations. Depending on the environment, that list might include the spectacular house with the white picket fence, a reputable job offering long-term security, a successful marriage, brilliant children, etc.

But what happens when we aren’t able to check the boxes on these preconceived notions? Do we continue to push for what feels inauthentic — or do we surrender, even when it feels like surrendering to the flow of life will cost us more than continuously shrinking ourselves into someone else’s narrative of how our lives should look?

Of course, I can’t speak for everyone, but I do know that many of us are being pushed by the invisible winds of surrender — in secret. And we’ve been struggling, because no one ever taught us how to fly through life without wings. It’s uncomfortable, but we rarely share our truth, because we’re supposed to have it all together… right?

Social media has even confirmed that we should only share our highlight reels, so why put the masks down now?

Well, think of how refreshing it would be to stand in your authenticity and say: “I don’t have it all together, but I’m gradually surrendering to the ebb and flow of life… and I’ve made peace with it.”

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
My name is Monè Campbell, and I am a multifaceted artist in every sense of the term. Before reaching a deeper level of spiritual awareness, I expressed myself through high fashion modeling, mural painting, and artisan jewelry design — each medium a vessel for beauty and intentionality. Today, I’m honored to channel this same creative energy into avenues that are even more expansive.

I’ve co-founded Anew Mind & Body Wellness LLC, a mobile wellness business dedicated to holistic healing and mindful living. Our company takes pride in creating safe, restorative spaces where clients can recharge and de-stress. One of our signature offerings is halo-therapy, also known as salt therapy — a wellness experience where microscopic particles of pharmaceutical-grade sodium chloride are dispersed into a controlled environment. This therapeutic atmosphere is designed to promote relaxation, support respiratory health, and enhance overall well-being.
Alongside my dedication to wellness initiatives in schools and events, I’ve been granted the privilege to embrace the joy of pursuing a long-held creative passion: filmmaking.

When Love Becomes Life emerged from a series of aligned moments — insight from a seminar, a meaningful connection with my co-producer Cree McIver at a Black Arts Festival, and a shared realization with my mother about the importance of channeling love into our community through the voices of our elders. Our film is a short documentary that casts an ethereal spotlight on the souls of two remarkable centenarians. Mrs. Mary Jo Hutcherson and Mrs. Louise Rashed graciously offer viewers the bread of love through timeless wisdom — a nourishment society is deeply starving for.

This work of art will soon be uploaded to YouTube for all to see!

Thanks for sharing that. Would love to go back in time and hear about how your past might have impacted who you are today. What breaks the bonds between people—and what restores them?
Conditional love, or always having to measure up to someone else’s expectations, is one of the most powerful forces that can erode the bonds between people. It arrives with a list of requirements someone must meet to be deemed “worthy” of our affection. When those conditions go unmet, our perception of a particular person — and the love we feel for them — begins to shift. Disappointment takes the place of connection, and slowly, the bond begins to unravel.
Unconditional love, by contrast, holds the power to restore and rebalance what’s been broken. When we choose to love and accept someone for who they are — not only when they align with our ideals — we create space for authenticity. Both people in the relationship can express themselves freely, without walking on eggshells or bearing the weight of constant judgment.
Unconditional love doesn’t imply a lack of boundaries — rather, it means love is not withheld as punishment. In this way, love transforms into a healing force: one that liberates rather than limits.

What fear has held you back the most in your life?
The fear of failure has become the most monstrous creature in my life. Perhaps that’s a bit of an exaggeration, but the idea of not fully living out my purpose haunts me in unexpected moments.

Over the course of my journey, I’ve had to do some serious soul-searching and stare this fear directly in the face. And eventually, it started to look different. I realized that failure isn’t the end — it’s a stepping stone toward success. Failing, in many ways, is an illusion. Once you heal the bruised ego that comes with it, you begin to see the lesson beneath the stumble — and that lesson often turns out to be a blessing in disguise.

Like breaking any bad habit, redefining my relationship with failure has taken time. Some days, the fear of failure creeps in, settling on my shoulder before I even notice. Other times, I catch it in the moment and remind myself that I’m not defined by outcomes — I’m shaped by the courage to keep going.

It’s all a work in progress.

So a lot of these questions go deep, but if you are open to it, we’ve got a few more questions that we’d love to get your take on. Whom do you admire for their character, not their power?
I was first introduced to the German-born spiritual teacher Eckhart Tolle during the pandemic serendipitously. While checking out at Barnes & Noble, I noticed an ad for one of his most notable works of literature, The Power of Now, placed at the corner of the checkout counter. Curious, I picked it up — and within hours, I had read it cover to cover. Not long after, I began binge-watching his lectures and teachings online. From then on I quickly fell in love with his being, his essence, and the peaceful presence he carries.

Tolle has a rare gift: he unveils esoteric truths in a way that feels effortless — as if his words melt into your ears and travel straight to the heart. It isn’t just what he teaches, but how he embodies it. His stillness, humility, and gentle clarity are what I admire most — not his influence, but his inner alignment.

Okay, so before we go, let’s tackle one more area. What do you think people will most misunderstand about your legacy?
What many may misunderstand is that my legacy is not self-made, but channeled. I am simply a vessel for the Creator’s will.
