They told you what success was. You went and got it.
Maybe it was the title, the compensation, and the respect that came with both. Maybe it was financial security, the right family, the right life, or simply becoming who everyone expected you to be.
But what if that life doesn’t feel like yours?
New Meridian is six months of one-on-one personal transformation coaching designed to help you define what fulfillment means to you—and build a life that reflects it.

A Different Definition of Success.
Monique Parker is the founding and managing partner of a successful law firm, an ultrarunner, author, wife, mother, and grandmother. By most conventional measures, she had built an extraordinary life. But somewhere along the way, achievement stopped being enough.
That realization took her far outside the life she knew—including three journeys into the Amazon jungle to attempt one of the world’s most demanding ultramarathons. She failed magnificently before finally crossing the finish line.
What changed along the way wasn’t just what she believed she could accomplish. It was how she thought about purpose, fear, failure, fulfillment, and the way we choose to live the limited time we’re given.
New Meridian grew from those lessons—and from the belief that you shouldn’t have to travel into the Amazon Jungle to discover what matters most to you.
This is personal transformation coaching for people who know there is more: more purpose, more challenge, more meaning, more joy, or simply a life that feels more like their own.
You don’t need to blow up your life. You may simply need to redraw the map.

Establish your Point of Beginning.
If you decide to move forward, this is where the real work begins. Before you can chart where you’re going, you need to understand where you are. Together, you’ll establish your Point of Beginning—the foundation for everything that follows.

Find your New Meridian.
Five stages over 28 weeks, one-on-one. You’ll explore what matters to you, what may be holding you back, and what you want the next chapter of your life to look like. Monique walks beside you through every stage, meeting with you personally to explore what you’re discovering and where you want to go next.
Monique coaches only a handful of clients at a time and speaks personally with every one before deciding together whether New Meridian is the right fit.
Off the Map arrives Spring 2027.
Three journeys into the Amazon, and a very different understanding of success on the other side of the Jungle.
In Off the Map, Monique tells the story of what happened before, during and after the Jungle—and how those experiences changed her life. The lessons that shaped the book also helped shape the five stages of New Meridian.
Be the first to know.
No clutter. Just a handful of emails each year when there’s something worth sharing—a book update, a new story, or an opening at New Meridian.
You’re on the list. Monique will write when there’s news worth your time.

Everything you write in the questionnaire goes to Monique alone.
