Empowering Women, Monica Massey’s Journey from Dairy to Consulting
In the latest episode of The Dairy Hour podcast, host Val Lavigne interviews Monica Massey, a motivational speaker and consultant who has transitioned from the dairy industry to consulting and public speaking. Monica’s inspiring journey highlights not only professional success but also the importance of women’s empowerment and self-advocacy in the workplace.
Monica grew up in the Catskill Mountains, where a traditional upbringing instilled strong values that guided her throughout her career. She began her professional journey in the dairy industry, learning the challenges and rewards of agriculture. However, as her career progressed, she discovered her passion for empowering women and transitioned into consulting in the medical food space. Through her consulting and speaking engagements, Monica focuses on helping women succeed in male-dominated industries and advocates for work-life balance and personal well-being.
One of the key themes of the podcast episode is Monica’s evolving definition of success. Once focused on climbing the corporate ladder, she now emphasizes the importance of mentorship, giving back to the community, and maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Monica highlights how the COVID-19 pandemic has shifted workplace expectations, leading more women to demand better work-life balance and set boundaries with their employers.
Monica Massey encourages women to advocate for themselves, support each other, and fearlessly pursue their dreams. Her motto, “You only live once,” serves as a powerful reminder to embrace new opportunities and live life to the fullest.
