She Chose a New Life – and Found Peace After Abuse

Summary

A woman in an abusive marriage for about 20 years knew walking out would be a hard choice but didn't expect the divorce process itself to be equally abusive, by which time she'd been doing Joe's work for 2 years and knew what she wanted to create but the external environment was so harsh she struggled to maintain her state constantly. Her PTSD and anxiety became so bad she developed panic attacks at work forcing her to stop working, desperately searching testimonials for someone who survived an abusive marriage and contentious divorce while doing meditations daily. At the 2019 retreat when Joe talked about changing boxes, something clicked - she could change her box, deciding she wanted the box of peace, love, kindness, joy and bliss instead of where she was, with peace being all she sought through her marriage and divorce. Not working and having time, she did 2-3 meditations daily, listened to testimonials constantly, stayed in that state reminding herself "I'm going to create the peace" for 3 years until the divorce finalized. She walked away in complete disbelief getting more than her wildest dreams when she didn't know if she'd survive or walk out alive from such a dark place, now thriving in a beautiful life with daily gratitude, sharing her story so others know "it's possible, I did it, you can too."
