A Voice and Beyond
#198 When Eastern Wisdom Meets Western Life with Mónica Esgueva
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of A Voice and Beyond, we welcome Mónica Esgueva, spiritual guide, bestselling author, TEDx speaker, and founder of the Ascension Institute.
Mónica’s journey is extraordinary. After successful careers in economics and fashion, she embarked on a decade-long spiritual pilgrimage through India and Nepal, studying closely with Tibetan masters — including the Dalai Lama. Today, she is widely recognised for helping thousands of people deepen self-awareness, overcome emotional blocks, and live consciously aligned lives.
We delve into her transformative new book, The 7 Levels of Wisdom, which offers a practical roadmap to spiritual awakening — grounded not in mysticism, but in neuroscience, mindfulness training, and emotional intelligence.
In this episode you’ll learn:
• What wisdom truly means in modern life
• How to transition from survival mode to conscious living
• Why self-awareness is the foundation of every transformation
• Tools for managing emotional pain without suppressing it
• How meditation helps calm the mind and strengthen intuition
• How to reconnect with purpose — especially during life transitions
Mónica has worked with global organisations, including Accenture, Samsung, and Electronic Arts, guiding more than 2,500 executives through mindfulness and emotional mastery programs. She has authored nine books, created transformational retreats, and co-directed spiritual documentaries viewed by more than 1.8 million people.
This conversation will leave you grounded, inspired, and deeply connected to the wisdom already alive within you.
