From Hidden Pain to Hidden Potential: Cari Rickabaugh’s Journey of Healing and Hope

In the latest episode of The Life on Scripted Podcast with Rosabel, I had the honor of sitting down with a woman whose story left me deeply moved and inspired—Cari Rickabaugh, a licensed massage therapist, master bodyworker, trauma healing life coach, and a living embodiment of resilience.

Cari’s journey is one of profound pain transformed into purpose. For three decades, she endured emotional, verbal, and mental abuse from within her own family. Her life looked “perfect” from the outside, but inside her home and heart was a different reality. That internal turmoil eventually took a toll on her physical and mental health—causing seizures, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, and more.

But everything changed when a miracle arrived in the form of a friend and a life coach who helped her confront and process the trauma she thought she had buried. At the age of 45, after decades of darkness, Cari began her path to healing—not just mentally, but physically and spiritually.

What stood out most in our conversation was Cari’s unique understanding of trauma not just as an emotional experience, but as something that the body holds onto. As she shared, “When you start healing the mind, you can heal the body. And when you heal them at the same time, the changes are incredible.”

Cari’s healing has opened doors she never imagined—speaking at conferences, writing her story in the book A Journey of Riches: Unlock Your Hidden Potential, launching a mini podcast, and helping clients around the world rediscover their wholeness through a powerful combination of coaching, somatic work, and energy healing.

She reminded us that healing is not always linear. Sometimes, it means uncovering layers we didn’t know existed. Sometimes, it means doing it scared. And always, it means knowing that you are not too broken to be helped.

As Cari said so powerfully, “You can create—like I am—whatever life you want.”
