055 Nothin Matters with Cat Greenleaf of Soberness Podcast Manifestation Therapy Podcast

Join me, Judy Hawley; Clinical Social Worker, Trauma Therapist, ADHD Coach, and Manifestation Coach for a candid conversation with broadcaster and creator Cat Greenleaf about addiction, recovery, change, and redefining success.Cat created and hosted NBC’s long-running series Talk Stoop, the celebrity interview show filmed on her Brooklyn front steps. Over nine years, she interviewed hundreds of guests, earned four Emmys, and built a career she loved until she was suddenly fired. That loss led Cat into a profound period of uncertainty and reflection.Through her own recovery journey, Cat was inspired to found the Restorative Housing Organization, which trains formerly incarcerated men and women to renovate undervalued NYC waterfront properties that are then rented to Section 8 tenants. In September 2024, she also launched Soberness, creating space for honest, stigma-free conversations about addiction and recovery.In this episode of the Manifestation Therapy Podcast, Cat and Judy explore addiction and sobriety, manifestation as partnership rather than force, and what it means to let go of urgency and comparison. Cat shares how living by the water became a catalyst for healing and clarity, and how loss ultimately opened the door to deeper purpose and alignment.Together, we discuss nervous system safety, redefining success beyond visibility and productivity, and the quiet realization that sometimes nothing is actually wrong. Healing, as Cat reminds us, is often found through connection not perfection.Key takeaways: • Sobriety and recovery as pathways to self-trust • Manifestation as partnership, not pressure • Redefining success beyond productivity and visibility • Adoption, family, and soul-level connections • Working with incarcerated populations and restorative housing • Letting go of comparison and external validation • The healing power of water, stillness, and integrationTakeaway: Manifestation doesn’t require force or reinvention. Clarity and alignment often emerge when we stop fixing and allow the process to unfold.🎧 Listen wherever you get your podcasts.Spotify • Apple Podcasts • Google Podcasts • YouTube https://manifestationtherapy.com/manifestation-therapy-podcast/Connect with Cat: Website: soberness.com Instagram: @soberness TikTok: @sobernesspodcastConnect with Judy: Website: manifestationtherapy.com Instagram: @manifestationtherapy TikTok: @manifestation_therapyTags / SEO: #ManifestationTherapy #SobrietyAndRecovery #TraumaInformedHealing #NervousSystemRegulation #PurposeAndAlignment #AddictionRecovery #ManifestationPodcast #SomaticHealing #SelfTrust #IntegrationNotForce #CatGreenleaf #Soberness
