In this raw and deeply moving episode, Siobhan sits down with Patrick—a salty, soulful, and beautifully honest storyteller—to explore a life marked by trauma, survival, and healing. Patrick opens up about growing up in an abusive home, enduring sexual assault as a child, and carrying the weight of unspoken pain through a long military career.
Through the lens of therapy, writing, and self-reflection, Patrick shares how he’s finally confronting the darkness, reconnecting with his inner child, and learning—at 73 years old—that he is worthy of love, peace, and joy.
We talk about the power of inner child work, the ripple effects of PTSD, breaking generational cycles, and what it means to finally feel safe in your own skin. With the support of his fiercely loving wife, Christine, and a renewed connection to spirit, Patrick is rewriting his narrative—not just for himself, but for anyone still carrying old wounds.
This is more than a conversation—this is proof that it’s never too late to heal.
📚 Patrick’s debut memoir is in the works and already changing lives.
