    The Covenant that Kept Me Prisoner for Years

    The Covenant that Kept Me Prisoner for Years: Have you ever worked incredibly hard, given absolutely everything you had, rebuilt from nothing, and then watched it fall apart again? And told yourself it was bad luck, or difficult people, or just the way things were for you?What if it was none of those things? What if the thing keeping you stuck was something you put there yourself, in the worst moment of your life, and then completely forgot you ever did it?That is what happened to me. For years, I carried a belief so deep and so total that I did not even know it was there. I could not fight it because I could not see it. I could not name it because I had no idea I had made it. All I could see were the consequences, playing out again and again, no matter how hard I tried.I call it a covenant. This is the story of how it nearly cost us everything, and what it finally took to break free. #covenant #traumahealing #sintaebersohn #getupandgrow #trauma #limitingbeliefs ========== ========== ========== Chapters: 0:04 Introduction 2:15 My Story 9:15 The Covenant 11:22 The Science behind it 18:17 The Path Forward 22:18 Conclusion ========== ========== ========== Watch the video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0HMw6PAqX8 ========== ========== ========== Join my Get Up and Grow online community for more resources and support in building resilience and achieving post-traumatic growth at https://getupandgrow.co.za/ ========== ========== ========== Learn more about me and my work at https://sintaebersohn.co.za/ ========== ========== ========== Contact me directly via email at info@getupandgrow.co.za ========== ========== ========== Don't forget to like, subscribe and hit the notification bell for more insightful videos on mental health and wellness. ========== ========== ========== Follow Me: https://www.facebook.com/sinta.ebersohn https://www.instagram.com/sintaebersohn/ https://twitter.com/SintaEbersohn https://za.pinterest.com/sebersohn/ https://www.tiktok.com/@sintaebersohn https://www.linkedin.com/in/sinta-ebersohn-1b01434b/

    When My Deepest Pain became My Greatest Purpose

    When My Deepest Pain became My Greatest Purpose: This week's podcast episode is one of the hardest stories I have ever shared publicly. It is about financial abuse during divorce, four years of vexatious litigation and how I survived when the legal system became a weapon against me.Research shows that financial abuse is increasingly used as a divorce tactic to gain the upper hand in asset division disputes. For four years, him and his attorney proceeded with vexatious litigation. Court applications. Allegations. Counter claims. Delays. Every single step designed to exhaust my finances and force me to my knees.I lost. It ruined me financially and broke my spirit. I walked away with nothing.In that devastating loss, a vision began to form. What if there was a platform where people going through divorce could find everything they needed to know, all in one place? That vision became Fair Divorce.#highconflictdivorce #vexatiouslitigation #divorce #financialabuse #economicabuse #fairdivorce #sintaebersohn #getupandgrow ========== ========== ==========Chapters:0:04 Introduction1:24 My Story4:34 Why my story is not unique6:37 More of my story9:14 Lessons I learned11:52 My Strategic Decision12:33 My Vision13:56 Later this week for members16:22 Conclusion========== ========== ==========Watch the Video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9SGEkk7kHQ ========== ========== ==========Visit www.fairdivorce.co.za for a wealth of free information and resources.========== ========== ==========Join my Get Up and Grow online community for more resources and support in building resilience and achieving post-traumatic growth at https://getupandgrow.co.za/========== ========== ==========Learn more about me and my work at https://sintaebersohn.co.za/========== ========== ==========Contact me directly via email at info@getupandgrow.co.za========== ========== ==========Don't forget to like, subscribe and hit the notification bell for more insightful videos on mental health and wellness.========== ========== ==========Follow Me:https://www.facebook.com/sinta.ebersohnhttps://www.instagram.com/sintaebersohn/https://twitter.com/SintaEbersohnhttps://za.pinterest.com/sebersohn/https://www.tiktok.com/@sintaebersohnhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/sinta-ebersohn-1b01434b/
