Season 2 – Episode 1: Wounded in Childhood, Grieving in Adulthood

We’re going there — tender territory, rich reflection, and deep soul work. In this instalment of PASSING THOUGHTS, we’re exploring the Five Soul Wounds by Lise Bourbeau and the intersections with grief, race, gender and identity.

As always, I invite you not just to listen, but to feel, reflect, and root more deeply into your becoming.

About host
Hi, I’m Rebecca-Monique: an ICF accredited (PCC) grief and trauma coach, and coach supervisor. My work is centred around supporting individuals through their healing and growth.

My specialist areas are grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction, sense of Self (identity), boundaries and confidence. My modes of coaching are somatic (i.e. embodied awareness) and transformational (i.e. a focus on attitudes, values, beliefs, behaviours, etc.).

I have particular interests in social sciences and human-centred disciplines, including psychology, psycholinguistics, sociology, spirituality and philosophy.

I live in London, UK with my son (who is also blessed with the awesomeness that is hyphenated first names!).

You can find out more about my personal journey and what led me to becoming a coach here, and here.
