      Introduction

      It is an honor to introduce you to 16 consciousness leaders in the first book of the series, Goddesses Among Us. These women have stepped into their power and are inspiring others by speaking their truth.

      These ladies are friends, sisters, aunts, mothers, daughters, grandmothers and neighbors. Just like you, they are Goddesses Among Us. They have overcome an abundance of trauma, obstacles, negativity, limiting beliefs and adversities. They have graciously stepped into the spotlight to share their powerful stories with us in these inspirational, and at times, heart wrenching conversations.

      Each of these women are a blessing to humanity. May we follow in their light, learn from their experiences, and bring their wisdom into our lives.

      These transformational conversations bring to light that we all go through stuff. We are all on journeys of experience, change, choice, and transformation. Take the profound wisdom and enlightenment found in this book to help you on your journey of life and in your own transformation.

      I am grateful to all of the women in this book. It is a true honor to help share their stories. May the words in this book bless you with wisdom and divine energy, to your higher consciousness and expansion.

      CHAPTER 2

      Trauma to Transformation

      Abbey Sweeny

      Domestic violence is the leading cause of injury to women - more than car accidents, muggings, and rapes combined. In the US, a woman is assaulted every nine seconds. For two years, I was physically, sexually, financially, and emotionally abused. I was left broke, and broken, forced to move back in with my parents and restart my life. All my belongings, heirlooms, and gifts from others were lost. For so long, I thought life as I knew it was over, and that I was just simply waiting for my life to end.

      After a failed attempt on my life, I realized I wasn’t being punished. Instead, I was being given an opportunity. A second chance. It was then that I realized: a complete restart was not a bad thing. Rather, it was a chance to learn from my mistakes and live a different life. It was my time. Now, years after returning home, I have taken my situation and turned it into a business to help others and promote positivity to every individual, no matter what setbacks or misfortunes life has thrown at them.

      Trauma to Transformation…Abbey Sweeny

      Kimberly: I am super excited to introduce Abbey Sweeny. You’ve had quite the life journey so far. But first, please share who you are and what you do.

      Abbey: Well, I’m actually a Marine brat. I grew up in a very regimented home. My brother followed suit and went to the same college as my dad. It’s funny - my entire family became engineers, and then I was this artist who was so full of emotion. I went through two years of very aggressive domestic violence, and when I got out, I had one of those moments where I realized I had two options; I could either continue moving in a positive direction, or I can just stay where I was and take my own life. In my mind, those were my only two options. But I loved my family, so suicide definitely wasn’t the answer.

      I knew I needed to figure myself out. So I started taking steps towards improving myself. I went to therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, I talked through a lot of issues, but I felt like none of these doctors were helping. I ended up hiring a life coach, and I could feel there was a real connection between us. I stayed with her, and we spent twelve weeks together, working on me. That was probably one of the most transformative periods of my life. Working with her made me realize what I wanted to do with my life: I wanted to be a life coach.

      I started my own coaching business, and I followed her 12-week model. I changed some of the steps to fit my particular emphasis, which is working with people who are struggling to overcome trauma. Domestic violence is mostly what I focus on, because that’s where I have a personal connection. I help survivors and victims, as well as abusers. I also help ex-convicts who were arrested on domestic violence charges. A lot of their trauma has nothing to do with domestic violence. The 12-week process works for both. Fast forward to today, and I speak with clients on an international level. I’m honored to be able to spread the good word about recovery.

      Kimberly: What an incredible story. So you help not only the survivors of domestic violence, but the abusers as well.

      Abbey: That’s right. We can continue to treat the symptoms all we want. The symptoms are traumatized survivors, both men and women who have left abusive relationships feeling worthless. And yes, I treat survivors, but I also focus on the people committing that abuse. If they haven’t received some form of treatment, most abusers are more than likely to abuse again. My goal is to give them the proper treatment in order to prevent further abuse from occurring.

      Kimberly: I love that. I totally understand what you’re talking about. When it comes to domestic violence, it doesn’t matter who you are, what you look like, or where you are in the economic world. It is literally a global issue, it’s happening all over the world, and I love that you are stepping forward and speaking about not only the survivors, which is massively important, but the root cause. I think that’s amazing.

      I love what you’re doing and, I’m happy that you’re in this space as well. But what would you say has been one of your biggest obstacles you’ve experienced, and how did you overcome that obstacle?

      Abbey: Well, actually making the decision to leave my abusive relationship definitely wasn’t a big challenge. It was one of those situations where I told him I was leaving, and he literally said, Fine, I’m done with you. I had nowhere else to go, so I moved back in with my parents.

      I would say the largest obstacle I had to overcome was deciding if I should actually kill myself or not. That was a big one. I didn’t think my life was worth living. I only attempted once, and thankfully I wasn’t successful. But I think I needed to make that attempt, you know, because I needed to learn that suicide was not the answer.

      I had gone to a psychiatrist, because at the time, I had really great medical insurance through Tri-Care. I think I only saw him for about three weeks, because it just wasn’t working. The therapist was doing no talking. None whatsoever. So I left him and went to another one who was a female. I hoped she might be different, but I just got the same reaction from her. She, just like the first, wanted me to do all the talking.

      It just didn’t feel like this whole therapy thing was working out. I left those appointments feeling even worse than when I walked in. So I decided, Okay, I’m going to try something else. I just kept trying new things. I tried one psychiatrist, and he wanted to put me on Ambien. I told him there was no way I was going on any medication. I didn’t need drugs - I just needed practices to put in place so I could get over my trauma. I knew I had the motivation to get
