Monika Chugh
A resident of Fremont, California, I was born and raised in New Delhi, India, and the Middle East. A doctor by profession and a writer at heart, I carry an undying love for sharing personal stories and exploring life’s profound moments through words.
Married and a proud mother of two, my family remains my greatest treasure. I believe that compassion, tenderness, and gratitude are the cornerstones of meaningful relationships.
As an active Rotarian, Ayurvedic Counselor, nature lover, hiking and yoga enthusiast, and a domestic violence counselor, I find deep solace in reading, writing, and savoring quiet moments with a warm cup of coffee.
I am the author of Quote Café – The Silent Soul: Thoughts in a Cup and A Quiet Zone with Affirmations.
The Silent Soul is a heartfelt collection of musings that give voice to the quiet emotions we often leave unspoken.
A Quiet Zone is a gentle invitation to pause, reflect, and find balance through simple yet powerful affirmations.
In addition to my books, I co-create Canvas and Quotations—a soulful collaboration that weaves together visual art and healing words. Rooted in creativity and compassion, our work celebrates the human spirit, emotional depth, and the quiet beauty found in imperfection.
Together, these projects offer a journey inward—encouraging reflection, self-expression, and the discovery of light within.
My Mission: To heal someone, somewhere on this beautiful planet, through the magic of my words.
My Mantra: Be affectionately detached to all.
My Hashtag: #TheBoldWithinMe
My Tagline: Life is simple—why complicate?
My Happy Pill: Coffee

Mindset Mentor – Simple & Heartfelt Affirmations
As a child, I believed in life’s quiet wonders, and that belief still dances in my heart today. Simple and heartfelt, these books, are a reflection of my journey, and exist because of the love and support of those who have walked beside me.
To my family—my anchor, my compass, the hands that guide me toward harmony: Yogi, my husband, my true north—you complete me. Rishiv and Shivina, my stars—you are my light and confidants. Thank you for the quiet space to grow, your silent strength, and for watching over me with boundless love.
To my parents, my jewels, steadfast as ever: You taught me patience and perseverance; I am forever grateful. You are my roots that keep me grounded.
To my parents-in-law, siblings, and extended family, words fall short of expressing my gratitude, but my heart holds it deeply.
To my friends, the witnesses of my unfolding—you know who you are. I cherish your presence on this path and am thankful for your unwavering support.
To my readers, who have held my hand through the twists and turns—thank you for believing in me. Sharing the rawness of my heart has not always been easy, but your encouragement has carried me through.
The power of positive affirmations shaped my journey, whispered daily like prayers. They have been my compass, helping me reshape my mind, manifest joy, and remain grounded in gratitude. I found resilience, light, and peace through affirmations, even in the stormiest moments.
Above all, I thank God for gifting me the words to express my soul. In surrendering to his will, I connected deeply to my spirit. I am endlessly grateful for His love, mercy, and grace that flow through my life.
I am imperfect, flawed, and still growing. But with all your love, I continue to reflect and evolve, walking forward with faith, purpose, and a heart wide open. My books are a testament to that journey—a promise to keep moving, always facing forward with love as my guide.
