S8 - Ep 1 - Patricia Noelle - Breaking Chains: From Religious Trauma to Spiritual Healing
In this deeply moving episode, Patricia shares her extraordinary journey from childhood abuse survivor to trauma-informed healer. Growing up as one of nine children in a Mormon household, she experienced severe abuse and was forced to give up her son for adoption at 16 through church influence.
After years of traditional therapy with limited results, Patricia found profound healing through psychedelic medicines and shamanic practices. Today, she works as a trauma-informed coach helping others process childhood trauma, while also supporting 150 orphaned children in Africa through her nonprofit.
Patricia discusses her early psychic abilities, the therapeutic potential of psychedelics, and how speaking her truth publicly led to a book deal and upcoming docuseries. Her story demonstrates the incredible resilience of the human spirit and offers hope to anyone healing from religious or family trauma.
