About Monique Pearson
Founder of Soaring Beyond The Diagnosis
Living with MS but Choosing to Soar
Author. Speaker. Army veteran. Mindset coach. World traveler.
Living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) since 2024, Monique wanted to do something more that take a back seat to her life. Beyond the Diagnosis is the movement she built for every woman who has ever been handed a diagnosis and told, quietly, to just push through
Monique Pearson's story begins with a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis, a moment that could have redefined her ceiling. Instead, she chose a different word: soaring. From the moment of diagnosis she refused to let the condition become a full stop. She kept speaking, kept building, kept moving forward, and eventually turned that refusal into a mission.
Every program, workshop, and community she has created since carries the same conviction: that a diagnosis is a chapter, not the whole story. The lived weight of navigating a chronic, neurological condition is not theoretical for Monique. It is the source material for everything she teaches.
Soaring Beyond the Diagnosis was founded so that no one facing a medical or life-changing diagnosis has to find their footing alone. The platform exists because Monique found her way through, and she built the road she wished had existed.
Monique turned her own diagnosis into a launchpad

Our Mission
Beyond the Diagnosis exists to educate, empower, and inspire individuals living with autoimmune disorders and chronic illnesses to move beyond survival and embrace a life of purpose, resilience, and possibility.
Through storytelling, community, education, advocacy, and wellness-focused resources, we create safe spaces where people feel seen, supported, and equipped to thrive, not despite their diagnosis, but alongside it. We are committed to transforming isolation into connection, uncertainty into hope, and challenges into opportunities for growth, healing, and impact.
Our Vission
Turning lived experience into lasting impact
"We exist to turn isolation into connection, uncertainty into hope, and lived experience into impact."
Compassion with action:
We hold space for grief and uncertainty, and then we move. Support here is never passive; it pairs empathy with practical next steps.
Lived experience as authority:
Guidance comes from someone who has walked this road. That authenticity is the foundation of everything we build.
Story as medicine:
Telling your story heals you first, then it opens doors for others. We create the platforms and the coaching to make that possible.
Community over isolation:
A diagnosis can make the world feel smaller. We make it larger through events, shared stories, and a community that gets it.
A movement with a clear destination
Monique Pearson knows this road personally. Living with multiple sclerosis, she refuses to let a diagnosis define the ceiling of her life. Soaring is the word that runs through everything she builds, from her speaking and coaching to her travel company, and now to this movement for people and families facing a diagnosis of their own.
She centers her lived experience so guidance feels honest rather than theoretical, and pairs compassion with practical action. Her promise is simple: a path from crisis to renewed purpose, visibility, and real support.
The numbers behind Soaring Beyond the Diagnosis are not projections on a slide, they are a commitment. By 2030, the goal is to reach more than 1,000 women living with or beyond a diagnosis. The longer horizon: 10,000 lives touched through community, storytelling, advocacy, and wellness programs.
That vision is already in motion. Seven courageous co-authors published. Fifty women at the first conference. A growing calendar of wellness walks, virtual summits, and author showcases with each one a step toward the larger destination.
