Transcending Trauma opens up the conversation around some of life’s toughest challenges, those before and after moments in life, when the world that we are living in changes, and we find ourselves in unknown territory.

To transcend our own trauma, we need to learn how to find a way back to safety and connection, learning can be a process of discovery and mastery of our lived experiences, and making small changes can lead to transformational change.

Join Moniquea Spiteri as she takes you on a journey of discovery through the mind and the body, speaking with the pioneers in the latest mind body research, including people who have lived with and overcome trauma, experienced life on the brink and transformed to tell their story.

Through these shared experiences, their stories will give you hope, direction and inspiration, that just like they have, you can transcend trauma too.

Ep35 - From Prison to Purpose

Thoroughly enjoyed this podcast! Such an inspiring story about owning his mistakes, his brokenness and learning from it. Identifying his time to “man up’” and the profound difference it made in doing so. Anyone who knows someone wanting to work their way through a similar life situation needs to connect them to this guy. Living proof that it’s never too late to turn your life around and make a powerful difference to other peoples’ lives.

Awesome podcast Moniquea thank you. Keep them coming!

Another great topic - Code 9

A real and candid conversation from both sides - someone that has experienced losing a parent to suicide and the perspective of a Police Officer attending a suicide. Powerful!

I feel seen and heard

I struggle with chronic suicidality, and finding your podcast has helped me to feel seen, heard and validated. Your focus on peer support and lived experience is the missing link in most support services. I have a fabulous therapist who doesn’t run from my experiences, so I am extremely lucky. Thank you for bringing this topic out of the shadows, and working to smash the suffocating shame and stigma around suicide.
