  1. Season 2 - Episode 71 The New Story: Embodied Agency

    5D AGO

    Season 2 - Episode 71 The New Story: Embodied Agency

    In this episode of Transcending Trauma, we explore what it really means to reclaim agency over your life, not through mindset alone, but through embodied choice. Trauma shapes the stories we live inside of. It influences our attachment patterns, our nervous system responses, and the internal narratives that quietly guide our relationships. But the story that helped you survive is not necessarily the story that will help you thrive. Drawing on Polyvagal Theory, Somatic Experiencing®, parts work, body psychotherapy, and relational teachings from Terry Real, Moniquea unpacks how the past can become superimposed onto the present, and how we begin to interrupt that pattern. This episode includes three guided somatic practices to help you:• Recognise the old narrative running beneath your reactions • Disrupt automatic survival scripts • Strengthen embodied agency in real-time relationships Embodied agency is not about control or perfection. It is the steady, grounded capacity to pause, regulate, and choose from your wise adult self instead of protective reactivity. Because healing isn’t about rewriting history — it’s about living differently now. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Season 2 - Ep 68 Healing the Relational Wound

    Episode 68 — Healing the Relational Wound. Some wounds are invisible — woven not from a single event, but from the absence of what we needed most: attunement, safety, and connection. In this episode, we turn toward the tender territory of relational trauma — how early disconnection imprints our nervous system, and how the body, through co-regulation and conscious repair, becomes the place where healing can begin. Take a moment to find stillness. Let your body settle. And let this episode be a gentle companion as we explore the wounds that happened in relationship and the medicine that can only be found there too.

    EPISODE 66 — “Co-Regulation: The Art of Healing Together” Healing doesn’t happen in isolation — it happens in connection.

Through gentle teaching, personal reflection, and guided somatic practices, you’ll discover how presence, attunement, and relational safety create the conditions for deep healing. Because when one nervous system meets another in calm awareness, biology becomes belonging — and we remember that we were never meant to heal alone.

    Season 2 - Ep 65 Transcendence: Beyond Survival

    Transcendence: Beyond SurvivalIn 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.
