Ep 51 - A Survivor's story of overcoming economic strife with a financially abusive marriage

EPISODE NOTES FOR THE MONICA EARL WASHINGTON INTERVIEW

A survivor's story of overcoming economic strife with a financially abusive marriage.

Today's guest, Monica Earl Washington is a survivor of an abusive relationship who has courageously opened up the door to what went on behind closed doors in her abusive marriage and talks about the impacts this relationship had on her psychologically, emotionally, physically, and economically.

Monica shares openly the trials and challenges she has faced, which have led to enormous sacrifice over recent times to be able to find ways to become more empowered.

Juggling a time of navigating courts, keeping up with her work, being there to help support a disabled son, and managing household finances led to Monica disconnecting for a time from people and social media.

Monica went inward and started practicing stillness and meditation to reconnect with herself and get back on top of her health. 

When Monica wanted to cave in, she would tell herself "Monica make it work".

Her favourite saying is "keep your running shoes around your neck."  This helps her to always be ready to run through the maze of life. 

She shares her willingness to make sacrifices to get resourceful in times where things were looking very dire.

Her faith, was instrumental in helping her through the most challenging times, and the products she has created using essential oils have been born out of the time of getting back to basics, during the toughest times. 

She is a truly inspirational woman and I was honoured to have this opportunity to talk with her.

Here are the top tips of today’s episode:

•  Keep your running shoes on, to be ready to run through the maze of life.
• When you are at the first stage of separation and you are under pressure with financial pressures and other external pressures from abusive behaviors, it is time to get back to basics. This is the time to get resourceful and use what you have wisely. And be ok to make do with what you have. Putting energy into resentment for the things you don't have will only drain your energy more. 
• It's ok to like nice things and desire nice things, but it is not healthy to have a strong attachment to them, or put too much emphasis on them when you are in a cycle of abuse. Your safety is the most important thing. You can replace things and you can acquire things again when you are free from the cycle of abuse. 
• When Monica chose to withdraw during her time of great struggle, she looked at what she could do to look after herself better through this time. She ate healthily and lost weight, making her healthier and more capable of navigating her challenges. And the biggest win for Monica born of this time of going back to basics but allowing herself to still explore ways to take care of herself, she created a line of products using essential oils which has become a new source of income to help her find her way back to financial independence and financial stability.
• Monica has a very proactive attitude. She is constantly asking what she can do and what the underlying message might be in what she is experiencing. When things started going wrong with her house, she saw this as a message that the love had left. This was one of the prompts she followed to show herself love through this time.
• Betrayal recovery does not happen overnight, tap into support to help you work through the challenges you face.
• Remember to take time for self-care, to really nourish yourself and show yourself, love.  

I hope this interview inspires you to rise and shine.
