Marina Theron-Monnery is the author of From Survival to Freedom, a powerful and deeply personal story about her journey from trauma, adversity, and survival to healing, purpose, and freedom.
Marina grew up in South Africa and moved to Canada 26 years ago. At the time, she was in a deeply unhealthy and toxic marriage. She had convinced herself that if they could just get away and start over somewhere new, perhaps their relationship could heal. But moving to Canada didn't solve the problems.
Two years later, Marina left her husband, taking her two children with her. Suddenly, she found herself having to rebuild her entire life as a single mother in a new country.
What followed was an incredibly challenging period. Marina had trained as an opera singer, but the professional landscape in Canada was very different from what she had known in South Africa. As a single mother of two, pursuing the unpredictable life of a freelance singer became almost impossible. She struggled financially while trying to create stability and security for herself and her children.
Marina remained single for ten years, and during this period she found herself in situations that were at times extremely dangerous. On one occasion, she even had to call the police to have a man removed from her home.
Eventually, Marina began asking herself some difficult questions. Why did she keep finding herself in these situations? Why was she allowing people and circumstances that were harmful to her to have a place in her life?
One realization became impossible to ignore:
She didn't love herself.
And that realization marked the beginning of a completely different journey.
In this episode, Marina shares her powerful story of breaking free from old survival patterns and how discovering Marisa Peer and Rapid Transformational Therapy® became an important part of her healing journey.
Today, Marina is a Rapid Transformational Therapy® Practitioner, Clinical Hypnotherapist, coach, speaker, singer, and host of the To Freedom podcast, where she explores the many different paths that can lead us towards greater freedom and a more authentic life.
Marina believes that healing is a process of gradually peeling away the layers of conditioning created by our experiences until we feel safe enough to trust ourselves and live as who we truly are.
And this conversation becomes particularly personal.
For the first time, I decide not just to talk about the method – I allow Marina to try it on me, live during the episode.
What happens when I'm the one in the chair and have to explore what might be hiding beneath the surface?
Listen to this honest and powerful conversation about survival, self-worth, destructive patterns, healing, and ultimately, the journey towards freedom.
