Coach Rhonda Sosebee

I’ve always believed in God. I knew God was out there, I knew about the Bible, I grew up going to church...I knew I was supposed to do good and be good. I also believed that life was easy and fun and we could achieve whatever we set our mind to.

While I was a good person with Christian standards in life, there was still something missing that I was aware of. I would judge people who struggled or had less, but often times when we judge others it’s because we are actually judging ourselves.

I literally used to pray to have compassion for others. I wanted so badly to be able to love everyone for who they were...but I didn’t know how.

Then my prayer to have compassion and love for others finally came...God put a man into my life that would change my life as I knew it and no, it’s not the fairy tale I was hoping for.

I was in a relationship with an alcoholic who was physically, mentally, emotional, financial, and spiritual abusive...something I’d never experienced before. A very reckless man that I later discovered was a sociopath (also extreme charmers).

I had to explain to him everything I did, he questioned everything about me, and I was called every ugly name you could imagine.

I begin to question my own thoughts because my brain could not comprehend his compulsive lies and manipulation. I let him (the outside world) take over during all of this turmoil, the self-worth and confidence I had before I met him.

I started judging myself because of the shame I was carrying from my choice to marry such a person and the guilt that I carried because I allowed this type of man into my boy’s lives. This definitely was not the example I wanted set for my children to follow and I felt terrible about myself for that.

We had been married for 3 years when we divorced. After our divorce he came to visit from another state, and little did I know something was going to happen that changed my whole life.

He was staying at a campground and later that day invited me for a burger that he was grilling, and I accepted the offer (why you ask...Only God knew at that time).

After eating dinner we went for what I thought was a harmless walk on a trail, but “harmless” couldn’t have been further from what I was about to experience...Out of nowhere, he attacked me from behind holding his hand over my nose and mouth (while lying on top of me) until I couldn’t breathe. I fought and struggled until I had nothing left. I went limp, thought of my 3 boys, and thought “this is it” I’ll never see them again and they’ll never see their mom again.

Once I went limp he got off of me and he stood up. As soon as he stood up, I was able to sit on a dirt bank behind me. He then paced back and forth telling me he had to kill me. He said he was going to snap my F**king neck and throw me in the lake. This is the time I would have normally been totally terrified, scared to death, crying and shaking.

Despite the fact that he just tried to murder me, instead of being shaken and falling apart, something came over me that I just went CALM.

I didn’t know what happened that day but the words that came out of my mouth were not me. While I thought I was surrendering to him, I later learned otherwise.

I was able to talk him into walking out of the trail with me and back to the campground where people would be. Soon after, I left and went straight to the police department and he eventually went to prison.

I know now that God is no longer just “out there” and that the Holy Spirit is “within me” and that night I surrendered myself to God and allow the functions of the Holy Spirit guide me through.

I discovered how strong my resilience is because I had to rebuild my life completely...financially from having nothing but a prayer, mentally from loss of self, and spiritually from the abuse.

Since I have surrendered and discovered how to activate the Holy Spirit within me, I now have the compassion that I always prayed for. I’ve regained more self-worth and confidence than I’ve ever had. I know who I am and I now have the wisdom to very quickly choose whose is right and is wrong for me to have in my life.

I landed the job of my dreams working in a motorcycle dealership. I saved enough money to buy an old car and I lived with family then with friends. I bought a motorcycle, replaced my old car with a newer reliable one and also moved into my own place. I’m an event official for an annual benefit ride called “Ride Against Domestic Violence” to raise money for the women and children’s shelter.

This is the happiest I’ve ever been in my life. I no longer make decisions that are poor choices, I no longer conform and lose myself for the benefit of others, I now have compassion for others, I love who I’ve become, knowing that I am who God created me to be, in His perfect image, through all the easy and the difficult experiences life has brought me.

Today my life is filled with peace, love, joy, gentleness, kindness, and self-control. I’m able to financially support women and children who have left their abuser and live in a shelter, and I ride my motorcycle in benefit and charity rides whenever I can. I protect my peace, and live a drama free life.

And, I’m on a mission to create a MOVEMENT that helps other women embrace whatever perceived flaws they have in them and to really accept themselves, fully AS THEY ARE, trusting that God created them exactly as He intended them to be.

I’m very passionate about helping women shift out of judgement around whatever perceived failures they’ve experienced, to tap into their self-worthiness, core confidence, and inner peace, and to really own their experiences as gifts that enable them to show up more powerfully in the world and in greater service of others. A true life of abundance!
