About Mona Lee

Mona Lee is more than an artist — she’s a guide, mentor, and empowerment coach dedicated to helping others step into their strength and creativity. As an author, illustrator, multi-medium artist, and homeschool mother of three, Mona knows firsthand what it means to juggle responsibilities while still making space for personal growth, self-expression, and joy.

Her background in storytelling, art, and intuitive practices gives her a unique approach to coaching: blending practical accountability with creative inspiration. Whether she’s supporting a client through building discipline, rediscovering their voice, or navigating life transitions, Mona brings compassion, clarity, and real-world tools to the process.

Outside of coaching, you’ll often find her crafting imaginative worlds on paper and canvas, wrangling her kids into cosplay for comic conventions, or creating one-of-a-kind magical items that carry intention and care. Her work is fueled by a lifelong belief in joy, resilience, and the power of turning everyday moments into something extraordinary.

At the heart of it all, Mona believes in helping people reconnect to themselves — not just to chase goals, but to build a life rooted in confidence, creativity, and purpose.
