Today on Living Big Mindfully I am so excited to be connecting with Pat Backley.
Pat, has a truly inspirational story, full of twists, turns, joys & challenges. Pat found the love of writing in her early 70’s. In the last 3 years Pat has authored & published 8 books including the popular Abandoned Wives Handbook.
Listen in as Pat shares her beautiful journey through challenge, scarcity & loss to joy, peace, & empowerment.
We start by sharing a bit about our commonalities – which (for me) was a lovely walk down memory lane, then Pat tells us a bit about growing up in England, traveling, and eventually finding her way to New Zealand, where she lives today!
In this warm, honest, heartfelt conversation – my favourite kind😊Pat chats openly about:
Pat goes on to share some practical tips & strategies about traveling solo, staying hopeful (even when things are hard…), and cultivating a never-too-late attitude – (which she models SO well…)
No surprise, Pat wraps it all up with some wise sage advice…
Of course, links to connect with Pat are in the show notes😊
