Transcendence: Beyond Survival

In Episode 65 Moniquea explores what it means to move beyond survival and step into the deeper work of integration and expansion. Trauma can shape our biology and our beliefs about who we are. Yet within the body there is an innate blueprint for healing that is always calling us forward.

This episode unpacks the true meaning of transcendence. Not as spiritual bypassing or rising above your story, but as the lived experience of weaving your past into a coherent and empowered present. Through the lens of the autonomic nervous system, somatic experiencing, early attachment, and parts work, Moniquea traces the arc from shock, collapse, and hypervigilance into grounded presence and embodied hope.

She shares personal reflections from her own journey and the life changing moment that shifted her out of chronic survival and into the profound work of reclaiming her life. You will learn how survival states become identities, how the body stores unfinished protective responses, and how your system begins to open when it senses real safety.

This episode offers gentle somatic practices, nervous system orienting skills, and a compassionate reframe that supports you to move from coping toward genuine transformation. It is a reminder that your body holds both the imprint of what happened and the capacity to rise beyond it.

Where science story and soul unite. This is Transcending Trauma.
