Monica Wihongi, Leading with Heart ❤️
Monica Wihongi is president of the Utah-based, papercrafting company, Close To My Heart AND a mother of seven—need I say more?
For reals though, you’re in for a treat today—I adore Monica. We’ve known each other for nearly 30 years and she is the real deal—she is family and future focused and dedicated to doing what’s right in business and life. I love my history with CTMH, so I’m tickled that you have this opportunity to get to know Monica and her work a bit better. You’ll get to hear first-hand what its been like to be at the helm of a direct sales company with thousands of independent contractors in the middle of a pandemic. What has changed? What hasn’t? How is Close To My Heart staying relevant and robust?
Monica will also share some exciting changes at CTMH. You’ll get to learn about at the name change for CTMH independent contractors, from consultants to makers and about a new VIP customer appreciation and incentive program.

Also, here’s the blog post that outlines my Story Starter Covid style. There’s a link about half way down to the class I taught with CTMH on Facebook.
Since recording this episode with Monica, she has welcomed grandson #2 and announced the imminent arrival of grand baby #3. She has a beautiful and growing family!
I think you’ll leave feeling inspired by Monica’s story, her open heart and her commitment to seeing founder, Jeanette Lynton’s vision honored and upheld. I’m truly grateful for the gateway into memory keeping that I experienced because of Jeanette and (now) Close To My Heart. I have LOVED partnering with them on my Story by Stacy line of products.
In fact, I played a SpeakPipe message from Kim, who will be receiving a Story Starter kit!
I opened today’s episode with Rise Up, from Andra Day’s debut album, Cheers to the Fall.
When I Googled Andra to learn more, I found this commercial for Apple TV that beautifully showcases Andra talent and welcomes in the holiday season.
Thanks (as always) for listening.
