Living Beyond Survival

TRauma

Learning to Live

Cheyenne has done far more than beaten cancer – twice – in her life. She has overcome a traumatic childhood, endured chronic illness, and strived to share what she’s learned with others. Throughout her life, she’s had a single question, “What does it mean to really live after trauma?”

There’s no one right answer. Instead, she has learned little lessons over time that helped her start to answer the question. She’s learned that being present is important. That understanding and connecting with your body helps handle the fear. That there is absolutely nothing certain about life, and we must accept that if we want to be happy.

Her talks often leave individuals with more questions than answers. Not because they haven’t learned, but instead, because they see the deeper meaning behind what “living beyond survival” really is. It’s about being as authentic to yourself as possible, acknowledging that things can change at any moment, and pushing to engage with life to the fullest anyways.
