In this powerful episode, Cat York sits down with Pat Schultz, founder of Ready4Takeoff and contributor to The Rise of Her anthology, to discuss Pat's journey of profound reinvention after 50. Pat courageously traces her path from decades of untreated depression and self-medication with alcohol to finding stability through psychiatric care and sobriety with AA. They delve into the stigma around mental health, the challenges women over 40 face, and how stabilizing one's mental well-being is the essential first step to recovery and transformation.
Pat, a coach, and international speaker, leaves listeners with practical, actionable encouragement: take one small step, ask for help, and keep trying. Links to Pat’s work, where she empowers women to transform fear into courageous action, are available below.
