True wealth is tested in the moments life falls apart. We sit down with [Monique Petrov](https://www.linkedin.com/in/mnpetrov/), Performance Neuroscience and High Flow Coach at [Soul Bones, LLC](https://www.linkedin.com/company/soul-bones-llc/). Monique shares her path from elite triathlete to trauma survivor to NICU nurse. She recounts how a devastating cycling accident changed her life and opened the path to a new chapter of purpose and meaning.

 

Key Takeaways:

- 00:00 Introduction to Monique and her journey. She grew up swimming from an early age.
- 02:48 A move to San Francisco led Monique from swimming into triathlon, and eventually into Ironman racing.
- 05:05 Three weeks before a major race, a cycling accident left her with multiple spinal fractures and a brain injury.
- 06:42 Monique describes how she woke from a six-day induced coma unsure of what had happened to her body.
- 09:23 How a stranger's simple question, "What do I know right now is true?", carried her through recovery.
- 10:07 How muscular activation techniques helped reawaken muscles that had gone silent after her injuries.
- 12:15 Watching nurses care for her during recovery inspired her to enter nursing school herself.
- 13:24 Her first day in the NICU convinced Monique she had found exactly where she belonged.
- 16:42 Lingering concussion symptoms that took years to diagnose.
- 19:32 Coaching athletes through fascia work and training for her first 50K.

 

> “ In my recovery, they were so focused on the physical, my bones, my spine, but no one really checked my brain.”
