Beth Brunk shares her story of surviving over two decades of mental, sexual, financial, and religious abuse within her marriage.

00:00:00 Introduction

00:01:38 Life in abuse felt like survival mode, struggling with presence and trauma

00:02:51 Religious abuse from spouse and faith community pressures

00:06:21 Marriage as an idol in churches, sometimes placed above safety

00:09:05 Beth currently focuses on a healthy relationship with herself

00:10:27 Pivotal moment: oldest son was choked, triggering decisive action

00:12:01 Her former spouse's therapy failed to bring real change or accountability

00:18:00 Beth offers coaching to women betrayed by spouses’ sexual behaviors

00:19:02 Program helps calm intrusive thoughts, set boundaries, and cultivate gratitude

00:26:15 Contact info and encouragement to find strength beyond betrayal

I am a believer in the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. I see His hand in everything around me, and in my life experiences. I give HIM all the glory, praise and honor for the healing, from sexual betrayal trauma, He has brought to me through different modalities. After being in an abusive marriage riddled with pornography addiction, sexual abuse, and blatant lies, I wanted my pain to end. The tightness in my chest to ease so I could take a deep breath. The physical pain in my heart to dissipate and for whirling, swirling thoughts to vanish. I wanted the pain of 23 years of trickle disclosure to go away. I wanted the pain I had been carrying since our wedding night, when he raped me then rolled over and went to sleep, to disappear. I wanted the horror of watching my new husband masturbate on our honeymoon to fade away. I wanted the trauma of being raped by my husband numerous times over the years, to evaporate. I don’t believe that we can be fully healed in this life, we are human, and full healing will come later. However, I am fully convinced that the Bible teaches us to continue to work on healing and breaking generational strongholds, agreements and curses. I do the work daily. I now have the energy to get through my day without a nap. I have freedom in my thoughts, no more swirling thoughts and all that pain is dissipated! Living Beyond Broken is living a life that is thriving and abundant in all the right ways!!

These messages came from what she calls “the Divine Sparks,” the very essence of our souls, offering her a glimpse into the deeper truths of existence.

Through her own struggles with severe childhood emotional wounds, she learned to harness the power of these divine messages to heal herself, emerging as a Spirit-based indigenous healer. Over the years, Radavie has guided thousands of clients on their own paths to release deep-seated traumas, helping them rediscover their true selves.

In more recent years, the messages from the Divine Sparks have awakened Radavie to a higher calling: to fulfill her soul’s agreement in this lifetime by supporting others in breaking free from the chains of human conditioning. Her mission is to guide people back to their natural state of inner peace, even amidst the challenges of everyday life.

The wisdom and guidance channeled through Radavie from the Divine Sparks serve as the inspiration and foundation for this book, offering readers a pathway to their own inner peace and spiritual awakening.
