On this episode of The Purfect Sunday Podcast, Monti is talking about main character energy: what it actually means, the quiet supporting-character patterns we all slip into without noticing, and the small but deliberate moves that hand the lead back to you.

This isn’t about narcissism, or pretending your life is a movie, or becoming a louder kind of woman. It’s about taking up the rightful amount of space in your own life — not more than is yours, not less, just the actual amount.

In this episode of The Purfect Sunday Podcast:

What main character energy actually is — and the three big misreads it isn’t (it’s not narcissism, it’s not delusion, and it’s not a personality — it’s a posture you can choose on a Tuesday morning)
The supporting-character diagnostic — the sneaky patterns that feel like being a good person but are actually shrinking.
The reframe that turns all of this from a project into a homecoming — you are not waiting to become her. You already are her. You’ve just been treating her like she’s a draft
The 9 main character moves — the thirty-second things you can start practicing today.
The one inner question — “What would the main character do?” — and why it bypasses all the noise of who-will-be-mad and goes straight to the truer choice
