Episode #93 - In this deeply moving episode of The Awakened Heart Podcast, I sit down with Patty Cabot, author of Not That Girl Anymore, to explore the powerful connection between emotional trauma and physical health.

Patty opens up about her personal healing journey—from emotional pain and addiction to resilience, self-discovery, and reclaiming her happiness. We discuss the hidden ways trauma lives in the body and how true healing often requires a holistic approach that includes therapy, support systems, and alternative healing modalities.

This conversation is a heartfelt look at:

• How unresolved emotional trauma can manifest physically

• The role of therapy, awareness, and community in healing

• Breaking cycles of pain, addiction, and emotional suppression

• Reclaiming joy, self-worth, and identity after trauma

• Why open dialogue is essential to long-term well-being

Patty’s story is one of courage, transformation, and coming home to oneself—and a reminder that healing is always possible when we choose to face the truth with compassion.
