Overcoming Trauma and Attracting Abundance: Lessons from a Domestic Violence Survivor

Most people don’t realize they are manifesting their pain over and over again. Nikita’s journey shows how to break the cycle and start calling in what you actually want.

Have you ever found yourself attracting the same painful experiences—whether in relationships, career, or life—no matter how much you try to move forward?

You're not alone. For years, I found myself stuck in the same cycles, convinced that a fresh start or a new opportunity would change everything, only to realize I was still carrying the same energy with me.

Trauma has a way of shaping us, but it does not have to define us. Today, I’m honored to share the powerful story of Nikita Richberg, a woman who not only survived domestic violence but has transformed her pain into purpose.

Her journey is one of resilience, self-discovery, and alignment—showing us that no matter what we’ve been through, we have the power to heal, manifest, and create the life we desire.

The Moment That Changed Everything

Nikita’s story is one of survival. She recalls a moment that could have ended her life—five empty shells found in her home, yet she was still standing. Still breathing. Still here.

"I knew I had a greater purpose," she shared. "By anybody else’s standards, I probably shouldn’t be here. But I am. And that means I have work to do."

That moment became a turning point, a wake-up call to do something different. But the path forward wasn’t linear. Healing, like success, is never a straight line. There were moments of progress, moments of setbacks, and cycles that needed to be broken.

The Invisible Patterns That Keep Us Stuck

One of the biggest revelations Nikita had during her healing journey was recognizing the patterns that kept repeating in her life—especially in relationships.

"I kept dating the same person in a different body," she admitted.

Even after consciously deciding to choose differently, the same energy kept showing up in different people. This is something so many of us can relate to—whether it’s in relationships, finances, career choices, or self-worth.

So why does this happen? Because we attract what we are energetically aligned with. If we carry wounds, unprocessed pain, or limiting beliefs, we unintentionally call in experiences that match that frequency.

Breaking The Cycle And Choosing Healing

Nikita didn’t just “move on” from her trauma—she did the inner work to heal it. She spent years peeling back the layers, asking herself hard questions, and finally realizing:

"I didn’t ask for this. This is not something I need to carry. It’s time to fully heal and engage in myself."

It took three years before she even felt ready to begin that work. That’s an important reminder for anyone who feels pressure to “heal fast.” True transformation doesn’t happen overnight. It’s a process, and giving yourself grace is essential.

💡 Key Lesson: Healing isn’t just about moving forward physically—it’s about doing the internal work to shift your energy so you stop attracting the same pain in different forms.

How Trauma Affects Your Manifestation Power

We are always manifesting, whether we realize it or not. Our thoughts, emotions, and beliefs create the reality we experience.

"If you're vibrating in sadness, anger, guilt, or shame, you're only going to attract more of that energy," I shared with Nikita during our conversation.

So how do we shift our energy and start manifesting what we truly want?

Nikita broke it down into three simple steps:

1. Step Away From The Noise

Find stillness. Sit in silence. Reflect. We live in a world filled with distractions, but real healing starts when we disconnect from outside influences and listen to ourselves.

2. Identify What Brings You Joy

What makes you happy when no one else is around? What fills your soul? Pour into yourself first before trying to pour into others.

3. Protect Your Peace

Once you discover what makes you feel fulfilled, hold onto it. Don’t let anyone or anything take away the self-love and joy you’ve built.

💡 Key Lesson: You can only attract what matches your energetic vibration. If you want love, success, and abundance, you must first embody that energy within yourself.

Manifesting Love, Success, And A New Life

Fast forward to today, and Nikita is no longer the woman who settled for less than she deserved. She is now a certified empowerment coach, a business owner, and a woman who is fully aligned with her purpose.

"I’m manifesting a healthy, romantic love," she shared. "I’ve done the self-love work, and now I’m open to receiving that love from someone else."

She has also launched her coaching business, helping others break their own cycles, release limiting beliefs, and manifest the life they are truly meant for.

💡 Key Lesson: When you heal, you don’t just change your life—you change the lives of everyone around you.

The Truth About Starting Over

A fresh start isn’t about relocating or making surface-level changes—it’s about transforming from within.

"I thought moving 17 miles away from home would give me a fresh start," Nikita said. "But I was still carrying the unhealed parts of me."

No matter where you go, your internal state follows you. This is why real change comes from doing the deep work—not just changing your environment.

💡 Key Lesson: Moving away from a painful past won’t help if you don’t heal the pain you’re carrying inside.

Practical Steps To Rebuild After Trauma

If you’re on your own journey of healing and manifestation, here are three powerful steps to take today:

✅ Become Aware of Your Patterns – Look at your relationships, habits, and experiences. What cycles keep repeating? Awareness is the first step to change.

✅ Shift Your Energy – Pay attention to your emotions. If you feel stuck in sadness, anger, or fear, take small steps to raise your vibration—through gratitude, movement, or intentional self-care.

✅ Set Clear Intentions – Be specific about what you want. Instead of saying, “I don’t want to be hurt again,” declare, “I am calling in a loving, healthy relationship.” The universe responds to clarity and conviction.

You Hold The Power To Rewrite Your Story

Nikita’s journey is a reminder that we are not victims of our past. We are co-creators of our future.

No matter what you’ve been through, no matter how many times you’ve felt broken, you can heal. You can manifest the life, love, and success you desire—but it starts with you.

"Trust your intuition. Listen to it," Nikita advised. "It’s your inner compass guiding you toward your highest path."

💡 Key Reminder: The life you dream of isn’t out of reach. You just have to believe in your ability to create it.
