About Monnii
Hello, I'm Monika
Born in Vietnam, raised in Bris Vegas, and twenty-five years deep in the business of helping people make their biggest money decisions.
My grandad Meo sailed our family across the sea and told me to build the most enchanted life. At four I was making daisy chains on the grass in front of his house, already dreaming of it.
This is the other side of me: the dreamer who still believes in daisy chains, love letters and an enchanted life.
Always & Ever, Monnii

Dear James
Letters I still write
James was my husband, my partner in business and the one who loved me most for being a dreamer. I still write to him, sharing what's new in our life and in the Collective we dreamed up together.
Dear James, the first letter is on its way.
