About The Book

A raw, fearless memoir about surviving family trauma, religious shame, addiction, and loss—and finding healing on the other side.

Raised as the youngest child in a large, devout Mormon family where appearances often mattered more than truth, Patricia Noelle learned early how to bury pain and protect family secrets. As a teenager, she faced a life-altering situation and was pressured into an impossible decision—one that forced her to live with a truth she could not speak aloud for decades. What followed was a life shaped by silence: fractured identity, addiction, destructive relationships, repeated loss, and the weight of unspoken grief. Behind the surface of a life that looked “perfect” was a story she was never allowed to tell.

But buried truth does not stay buried forever. The Church of All Good Things traces Noelle’s circuitous journey through trauma, faith, and emotional inheritance—and the difficult process of reclaiming her voice, finding her identity, and realizing her self-worth. This is not just a story of trauma; it is a story of awakening. Through deep inner work and healing rituals with psychedelics in the rainforests of Costa Rica, Patricia begins to confront what was lost, what was hidden, and what it takes to break cycles that span generations.

Compelling, courageous, and ultimately redemptive, this is a story for anyone who has ever questioned the narratives they were given—and wondered whether it is possible to begin again.

About The Author

Patricia Noelle is a trauma-informed guide, author, and advocate whose work lives at the intersection of truth-telling, nervous system healing, and radical personal sovereignty. Her path into this work was not academic first, but forged through lived experience—through profound personal loss and the slow, often painful reclamation of her own voice after years of silence. In navigating her own healing, Patricia came to understand trauma not as a story confined to memory, but as something held in the body, the brain, and the nervous system itself. This realization reshaped her life’s work and led her to study spiritual psychology, trauma-informed modalities, and shamanic traditions, including training under the guidance of Dr. Gabor Maté. Her approach is integrative and embodied, blending science, somatic awareness, and spiritual insight with an insistence on honesty over bypassing.

Today, Patricia works with high-functioning individuals—leaders, creatives, and seekers—who appear outwardly successful yet feel fragmented, disconnected, or quietly exhausted within. She is known for her capacity to sit with the most complex forms of trauma without trying to fix or rush them, and for guiding others through terrain she herself has had to navigate. Beyond her private work, she is a vocal advocate for ethical healing practices, informed consent, and patient safety, particularly within emerging wellness spaces. Her writing and public voice are deeply personal yet unsentimental, weaving lived experience with reflection and inquiry. At the heart of her work is a simple but radical belief: healing is not about becoming someone new, but about remembering who you were before the world changed you.
