FWTW S3E09 | Why True Success Requires Soul Healing: Gina Cavalier on Trauma, Art, and Authenticity

In this episode of From Wounds to Wisdom, we explore the deep intersection of creativity, trauma, and spiritual rebirth with author, artist, and former entertainment executive Gina Cavalier. Gina shares her journey from a high-pressure career at Disney, Warner Bros., and Netflix to the moment her unhealed childhood wounds resurfaced and brought her to a breaking point. We talk about sacred exhaustion, nervous system overwhelm, and the healing that happens when you finally stop performing and start listening to your inner self. This conversation is for every woman who’s ever felt soul-tired, creatively blocked, or afraid to let go of who the world told her she had to be.
