PAULA PATTON Manifesting Through Faith

Paula Patton has learned to trust the process. The actress, 49, tells Us that her new Lifetime movie, Finding Faith (out Aug. 9) — about a woman whose life spins out of control after her husband dies — echoes her own path to sobriety. It “mirrored a journey I had been on, having gone through challenging times and addiction, and finding a way out of it,” she says. Here, the star talks more about the film, finding inner peace and traveling with her teenage son, Julian, whose dad is ex-husband Robin Thicke. “It was incredible!” she says of their recent trip together.
