Today’s episode is one that so many people can feel a passion for - the love of animals. Patty welcomes Peter Knights, a former economist turned wildlife conservationist. Peter's journey from economics to conservation started when he realized he wanted to make a positive impact on the world. He joined a team of undercover investigators working to expose illegal wildlife trafficking, which initially focused on combating the illegal bird trade, successfully reducing the number of wild birds brought into the United States.
He also tackled issues like ivory trade and the trafficking of bear gallbladders, which are highly valued in traditional medicine. Through education and awareness campaigns, Peter and his team managed to change perceptions and significantly reduce the demand for these wildlife products in Asia.
Recognizing the importance of engaging the younger generation, Peter emphasizes the role of education in conservation efforts. He believes that young people can influence their families and communities to make more sustainable choices. Peter also highlights the need to provide alternative livelihoods for poachers and address human-wildlife conflicts, especially in Africa. By supporting tourism and finding innovative ways to coexist with wildlife, Peter aims to protect Africa's diverse and endangered species.

When treating veterans with PTSD, your first thought is probably not farms or cows. But today’s guest is changing lives using just those things. Patty welcomes Marvin Frink, wounded veteran and owner/operator of Briarwood Cattle Farm in North Carolina. Marvin begins the episode by explaining the physical setup of the farm that is uniquely designed to be comfortable for veterans with PTSD. He then explains how it isn’t just working with the animals, but talking with them, leading them, and allowing people to open up in a trusted environment. He strives to be an example to veterans that may be hesitant or too proud for help, to be the one that says its ok to be vulnerable, because it will lead to a more peaceful life.
He talks about how his wife and children are really the heartbeat of the farm and is so grateful and thankful to have them by his side. He gives great insight on the program Wounded Warriors Talk, and how it has helped him tremendously to feel accepted and understood. Because October is Suicide Prevention Month, Marvin has some heartfelt words to those that are struggling, and some advice on how to set boundaries to avoid putting undo stress on yourself and preventing feelings of failure or rejection.

One of our greatest natural treasures are our own people. People we know and love. Some of those people have lived extraordinary lives and done heroic things to ensure the freedoms we and others have now. Today Patty welcomes an amazing young person, Tyler Boland to the show, who started a project called 'Keeping History Alive' aiming to interview World War II veterans to preserve their stories.
His interest was sparked by his great grandfather's WWII memorabilia and has since grown into a mission to capture as many veterans' stories as possible. With the dwindling number of WWII veterans sadly becoming a reality, Tyler's project has gained national attention, leading him to plan more interviews and a YouTube channel to share these important narratives.Your Daily Chocolate is in the top 10% of podcasts worldwide, so let's boost it up even higher.

Today’s episode is one that so many people can feel a passion for - the love of animals. Patty welcomes Peter Knights, a former economist turned wildlife conservationist. Peter's journey from economics to conservation started when he realized he wanted to make a positive impact on the world. He joined a team of undercover investigators working to expose illegal wildlife trafficking, which initially focused on combating the illegal bird trade, successfully reducing the number of wild birds brought into the United States.
He also tackled issues like ivory trade and the trafficking of bear gallbladders, which are highly valued in traditional medicine. Through education and awareness campaigns, Peter and his team managed to change perceptions and significantly reduce the demand for these wildlife products in Asia.
Recognizing the importance of engaging the younger generation, Peter emphasizes the role of education in conservation efforts. He believes that young people can influence their families and communities to make more sustainable choices. Peter also highlights the need to provide alternative livelihoods for poachers and address human-wildlife conflicts, especially in Africa. By supporting tourism and finding innovative ways to coexist with wildlife, Peter aims to protect Africa's diverse and endangered species.

Welcome to "Your Daily Chocolate" podcast! In this episode, Patty welcomes Carisa Montooth, a love coach and energy healer who helps women build successful relationships. While her focus is primarily on women, Cara emphasizes the importance of understanding both men and women's perspectives in relationships.
The conversation kicks off with Carisa highlighting that men can benefit from understanding how women approach dating and love. Likewise, women can gain valuable insights into how men think about these topics. The discussion goes beyond the classic notion of "men are from Mars, women are from Venus" and delves into the deeper understanding required to connect and create meaningful relationships.
She takes a positive approach to dating, avoiding the negativity and pitfalls that can come with it. She shares her perspective on how to invite love into our lives by shifting our mindset, healing past wounds, and practicing self-love. According to Carisa, love is not something we "make happen," but rather something we "make welcome."
Carisa also reveals three ways love can manifest in our lives. Her approach challenges the notion that online dating is the only path to finding love. She believes that healing, self-love, and clarity on what we want in a relationship can open doors to serendipitous connections. By releasing limiting beliefs and embracing positive energy, we can create the conditions for love to enter our lives naturally.
Join us as we delve into Cara's insights and discover the magic of love that awaits us all.

Brian emphasizes the importance of focusing on the process and setting conditions for success rather than solely chasing outcomes, and the interconnectedness of physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual aspects of human well-being. It's guaranteed that parts of this episode will hit home with you, and hopefully get you on a more mindful, purposeful and less self-critical path.

Today’s guest comes to the show fresh off of a feature in People Magazine. Owen O'Neill is here and he runs a non-profit called Clinics Can Help, which really doesn't tell you much about what he does but Owen is a registered nurse for more than 30 years, and along the way he saw an opportunity, and at the same time, he saw a need. He saw individuals who maybe no longer were using their wheelchairs or their medical equipment,
and at the same time, he's working in clinics and seeing people who can't afford that very same equipment. This is where Clinics Can Help was born, and now many years later, he and his team of employees and volunteers have impacted tens of thousands of lives.
Patty and Owen discuss how the organization works, the extraordinary amount of people they help, some of the challenges they face, and how they even provide other life-saving items apart from traditional medical equipment.

You listen to the show each week for positive, uplifting, and inspiring stories. Today's guest exemplifies this in every way. Dr. Christopher Smith is the author of the recently released book called Homeless to Hopkins, and it is a true story of his life. He journeyed from a broken, homeless teenager sleeping in the car to eventually being a medical doctor at world renowned Johns Hopkins. But most importantly, along the way, he actually found joy and he found himself.
Dr. Smith recalls his upbringing in an unhealthy and unstable home, moving from place to place multiple times a year until finally he found himself with no home at all. He talks about his "safe place" at school and inspiration he found from teachers along the way, how he was transported to new worlds and inspired by the stories of great people through his love of reading, and how determination, resilience, and personal accountability are the foundation of growth.

Riches are not about the ‘what,’ but the ‘who.’ That is the philosophy of today's guest Angela Marshall, a motivational speaker, professional writer, columnist, bestselling author, creative consultant, ex-NFL wife and business owner. Angela defines true riches are things that you cannot replace. Family, close friends, and mentors that get you to the best places in your life.
As an ex-NFL wife, she took lessons from what she saw in the sports world. Respecting yourself, self-discipline, cooperation, teamwork. She knows that to love and support those around you, you need to have love and respect for yourself. Her acronym for this is SELF - Shine, Evolve, Love, and Fulfill.
Angela discusses the different stages of her life that brought her to where she is today, and how her perspective on what is important changed over time. As she is now inspiring others, she reflects on those that inspired her and how having trusted mentors in her life make such a difference. But the simple everyday situations we encounter often provide the biggest lessons toward positive growth.
Angela knows that life is hard for everyone no matter who they are or what they do. Her advice is to be a positive energy out there, to listen, understand, and inspire in any way that we can, and to not let ourselves or those around us get stuck in negativity.
Also, listen to Angela’s advice on dating after she realized almost everything she was told before was wrong.

We all face challenges growing up. Some people let it define them, keeping them stuck, others use the experiences to make them stronger. Today’s guest falls in the latter group.
Kevin Cassidy joins Patty today for an inspiring episode. Born with a facial birth defect, he battled a speech impediment and bullying throughout his youth. Throughout that time neither he nor his parents allowed him to be viewed as a victim. Later in life he became a college and pro athlete, a schoolteacher, and highly successful Hollywood stuntman (Yes, you’ve undoubtedly seen him on the big screen.)
Kevin and Patty discuss how he got his start, and how character and persistence play a huge role in being successful in every walk of life. They talk about his book, ‘Falling Down To Find Myself,’ and its main message of how hard work, honesty, and staying true to your values will allow you to be ready for all the different changes that come throughout our lives.
Kevin is now a business owner, author, speaker, father, and husband helping others to live their most fulfilling and happy lives.

It’s a new year and so many people take that opportunity to start fresh. What is better than a fresh, clean, organized home? It’s not easy sometimes, but today’s guest is a professional at doing just that. Julie Coraccio is an award-winning professional organizer, author, speaker, and certified life coach.
The clutter that surrounds us each day may not be as haphazard as you might think. Decluttering is part physical and part psychological. Julie talks about practical, bite-sized strategies to get your surroundings in order no matter what state they are in. She talks about how emotion and sentimental feelings can cause people to hold onto things and in turn remain stuck in their lives, and the importance of knowing what your clutter kryptonite is.
Clutter isn’t just in your home or car or office. It’s also within us. In our brains. Julie talks about looking inward and to become aware of the emotional triggers in our lives and not go through each day on auto-pilot.
So if you have the goal, and want some guidance, practical tips, and common sense advice that isn’t overwhelming, you’ll want to listen to the end.
Julie Coraccio is an award-winning professional declutter’er, life & end of life organizer, author and certified life coach. She's passionate about supporting people in clearing clutter in all areas of their lives; preparing for death to live life more fully; getting organized and becoming more mindful and aware.

So many of us think that we are being kind, good people by helping others with whatever needs they might have. But when does it cross the line of being detrimental to our own wellbeing? Today’s guest, Janice Burt, aka Spanish Janice, is a Spanish interpreter, voiceover artist, yoga instructor, author and inspirational speaker, and is here to give you the knowledge and insight of how to recognize the issue of people-pleasing, and more importantly, how to break away from it, to become the person you are meant to be without blaming others or yourself. Janice also talks about how to break the people-pleasing cycle with our children, and the answer may surprise you.
Patty and Janice talk about the variety of accomplishments that Janice has taken on to push herself out of her comfort zone. From stand up comedy to, marathon running, to a bodybuilding competition, she describes how stretching these boundaries allowed her to overcome her fears, find her true value, experience inner strength and meaning of herself, which then allowed her to free herself from the expectations of others.
This episode is about becoming free by truly caring about yourself, healing, learning to forgive, cultivating personal growth, and showing up for ourselves in the ways that better our own lives. This is an incredibly deep and poignant episode to start off the new year and to help you to make it the best, most transformative year yet.

Welcome to Season 02!!! Thank you for making the show such a success. Today we are kicking off the new year and new season with a guest that is making the rounds on national tv because of the impact that he's making in people's lives. Today Patty welcomes Yuri Williams, Founder of A Future Superhero and Friends.
After losing his mother and suffering years of depression, he created A Future Superhero and Friends, a non-profit organization helping to lift up underserved and under protected individuals and communities. He then took on a 50-state tour and the power and purpose of this endeavor helped to lift him out of the darkness he had felt for so long. The organization is mostly self-funded, but recently Yuri has rightly gained the attention of The Today Show, Dwayne The Rock Johnson, Lester Holt, and Morning Joe. Listen to the uplifting stories of helping the houseless, veterans, elderly, disabled, children and many more through this wonderful non-profit.

Today's guest started a highly successful organization with hard work, agility, and prioritizing the things that matter most. Leah talks about the long hours she would put in to build her profitable business, but saw the time with her husband and family crumble. She knew that she had to make a change, but she didn’t want to make it a choice between a “happy marriage OR a profitable business.” She wanted both. She learned to schedule the most important things in her life first. She arranged her true priorities at the top, but still left room for spontaneity.
Her success didn’t start easily. She was diagnosed with both dyslexia and ADHD. Leah knew that she learned differently. She turned these disadvantages on their head and used them to push herself to both learn and execute in new and unique ways. Fortunately, those skills are exactly what entrepreneurship and running your own business requires.
Leah also explains the importance of time-blocking and scheduling in order to give yourself chunks of time back to your life which is the difference between feeling frazzled and feeling fulfilled. She also discusses the important life lessons she learned while taking a year to travel with her family.

No matter who you are, there is probably some area of your life where you feel you could use a boost of confidence. Today Patty welcomes an extraordinary guest, Tamara Pflug, a fun and confidence coach! She didn’t start with the confidence she has today. She was caught up in people-pleasing and caring too much about what other people would think of her. One of the most important parts of her style is that fun is in the forefront. She reminds us that life is too short not to be more relaxed and light-hearted. Having fun and being more relaxed sounds easy, but there is hard work to do when you are trying to change patterns and your mindset that you’ve held for such a long time.
She gives a glimpse of the 8 thoughts she teaches her clients to integrate into their thinking. Thoughts create feelings, and in turn, actions. Patty discusses the trick of using the strengths you have in one area of your life and adopting those into areas you feel you are not doing as well. They also ask the question, are we raising our kids with false confidence? And Patty and Tamara hatch a questionable plan to get paid to travel and study chocolate.

After years of marriage or being committed to a partner, there can be times when we feel some drifting apart, and not feeling as connected. The usual remedy is better communication and opening up about the changes in our lives - but it can be difficult to initiate. Today's guest Diana Indries, Creator and CEO of Better Topics, has spent years perfecting a fun and effective game to kickstart this process, and achieve real, meaningful results.
Diana began her career as a manager in the one of the UK’s largest hospital trusts. It was… a job. But she was inspired by her husband’s energy and love for his work, and decided to do something different. This is when the Better Topics Card Game for Couples was born. She admits that relationships were something she felt she wasn’t always good at, so she dove into research and learning on what creates strong bonds with couples. She knew what worked for her and her husband, and she saw other “couples games” that were far too simplistic or kind of silly. She discusses the unique aspects of the game, and how it can reignite the spark that was there in the early stages when people were first getting to know each other. It also has a variety of questions to keep it light and fun along with deeper, more insightful questions.
Diana also announces their newest game, Better Topics, The Dating Game. It helps people who are in the dating phase to discover themselves and what they really want from a potential partner. The traits that you can appreciate and grow with, and red flags that might give you some pause. Diana says that it could help to bypass years of bad dating.
She recounts some of the feedback from all over the world of how it has helped people to connect and grow the bond with their partners, and how it gives her the inspiration to keep going and helping others.
Diana has helped thousands of couples in over 170 different countries improve their relationship and communicate more effectively whilst still having fun by playing the Better Topics Game for Couples. A game that encourages couples to have those much-needed deep conversations, but with the fun and light-heartedness of a game. The best part is that Better Topics is a repeatable game, so couples can play this over and over again.

Many of us have had struggles, and followed a much more winding path than we first imagined, and that is true of today’s guest Kimberly Spencer, best-selling author, podcaster, and high performance coach. Her winding path came from her ability to follow her intuition. She credits her parents being entrepreneurs as helping her to have a “go for it” attitude, to go with her gut, and be open to taking risks. She started out wanting to pursue acting and the arts, and instead of going the college route, she jumped into more hands-on acting programs. Through networking and hard work, she even got the chance to write her own feature film which is now on Netflix.
In order to break out on her own, she started teaching Pilates, and her attitude, optimism, and grit led her to become a top instructor. During this time, she was able to gain new perspectives and ways of thinking which she took to heart and began to change the direction of her own life through mindset and values and deeper understanding of herself.
After a short stint in e-commerce, she decided to put all her strengths to use and began her own high performance coaching company - Crown Yourself. She shares the many lessons that she learned along the way and is gracious enough to share some free tips to grow both personally and professionally by creating a winning success strategy, and the number one thing that is the foundation of all success. You don’t want to miss it!!

Patty continues to bring impressive, high-profile guests on the show. Today she welcomes, author Joe LeValley to the show to discuss his amazing journey of becoming a successful crime fiction author late in life. He began as a daily newspaper reporter, covering lots of crime cases including murders, which planted seeds in his mind about trying to write a crime novel. He then switched to working in communications in healthcare, but still writing in his free time, he decided to take a crack at that novel. Then children and job promotions came along, leaving the half-written novel collecting dust. But an idea for an amazing twist ending, and a snarky comment by a co-worker, spurred him on to finish it. The rest is history.
It took Joe 33 years to finish his first book, and just 33 days to write the next one. Both won awards and received glowing reviews, and his humble approach and advice to young authors is down to earth and simple – there is no one way to do it. He describes the origins of the main character of his stories, his night on stage with The Who, his advice on how to get yourself out of a slump, how to approach writing a book, and the night he made Bill Murray laugh.

You may think you had some hard times growing up. You may think you just don’t have enough time during the day to get it all done. Today’s guest will help to bring all those things into perspective. Patty welcomes Dr. Katrina Nguyen to the show to share her incredible story.
As a toddler and the youngest child of eight, Katrina came with her family to America from Vietnam on her father’s fishing boat, coming close to death a couple times along the way. Her parents had little to no formal learning and encouraged her to pursue education in the U.S., and she did just that. Her interest in science bloomed in middle school, culminating in college where she began to study medicine, before becoming a pediatric gastroenterologist.
She is not only a doctor, but has started a nonprofit to help tackle the childhood obesity issue. She helps community organizations to bring nutritional education and experiences to families and encourage healthy lifestyle changes. She’s written one book and is about to publish another on coping with loss and grief, and she is a speaker as well. So you may say she has her plate full.
You will be uplifted and inspired by Katrina’s commitment, compassion, and drive. Enjoy!

Art evokes passion and feeling and transporting you to another place. But artists aren't always born - they are often made. Along they way, they may have find themselves in very unartistic circumstances. Today's guest is artist, Linda Riesenberg Fisler. While working at Proctor and Gamble she had some very... Interesting roles, but after reaching management, she set off on a new direction that changed her life completely. Feeling the pull of her creative side, Linda headed to USC for film, and then visual arts. She moved from Proctor and Gamble to becoming a professional painter. She explains that there are millions of artists all vying for your attention and money, but she knew that to be successful as an artist, it takes more than artistic talent. You need to have a marketing plan. To make a living as an artist, you need to have business skills to go along with your creative skills. Linda even co-founded a non-profit to teach artists how to be more business-centric. She discusses the process of marketing yourself vs. going with an agent, how to treat your art as a product and not one of your children, how anyone can become an artist, and how to avoid scams.

When treating veterans with PTSD, your first thought is probably not farms or cows. But today’s guest is changing lives using just those things. Patty welcomes Marvin Frink, wounded veteran and owner/operator of Briarwood Cattle Farm in North Carolina. Marvin begins the episode by explaining the physical setup of the farm that is uniquely designed to be comfortable for veterans with PTSD. He then explains how it isn’t just working with the animals, but talking with them, leading them, and allowing people to open up in a trusted environment. He strives to be an example to veterans that may be hesitant or too proud for help, to be the one that says its ok to be vulnerable, because it will lead to a more peaceful life.
He talks about how his wife and children are really the heartbeat of the farm and is so grateful and thankful to have them by his side. He gives great insight on the program Wounded Warriors Talk, and how it has helped him tremendously to feel accepted and understood. Because October is Suicide Prevention Month, Marvin has some heartfelt words to those that are struggling, and some advice on how to set boundaries to avoid putting undo stress on yourself and preventing feelings of failure or rejection.

Get ready to have some fun today with today’s guest. Comedian, author, and motivational speaker Marklyn Johnson joins the show. This high energy episode will keep you thinking and laughing the whole way through.
Marklyn begins by talking about his childhood upbringing and the role of his no-nonsense father that helped him to grow and learn through a bit of tough love and building resilience. He gets into his issues with authority, not fitting in to the corporate mold, and not liking being told what to do. He explains his start in stand up and podcasting after realizing the lack of talent on the radio.
The conversation turns to his work with motivating kids, and the issues that technology, coupled with unengaged parents can bring. He talks about the approach that many parents use now to motivate, prepare, and strengthen our children for the future. While some of it is positive, a lot of it is failing them.
They discuss the overwhelming tendency for each generation to continue with the actions and aspirations of the family and surroundings they grew up in, and how wealth usually begets wealth and poor begets poor. This type of generational cycle is also very dependent on race. Marklyn reiterates the importance of teaching our kids personal accountability, financial awareness, and pushing them to aspire to greater things.

So many times in life we can get in a rut, get down, feel angry or upset about our situation. The fact is that everyone feels this way from time to time, but what if there was a way to set your life on a new path simply through gratitude. It's a bit more complex than that, so Patty has brought on a wonderful guest to really dive into the subject and how you can benefit from it.
Deborah Hawkins, author, blogger, and coach isn't your run-of-the-mill, over-the-top, rah rah!!!! type coach. She grew up with trauma, had difficulty in relationships and careers. During one particular low point, she decided to start writing things down that she was grateful for. With that, her outlook lifted and, as a writer, it gave her reason to write again.
Deborah explains the distinction between a listed journal of things you’re grateful for and intentional gratitude journaling. One of those truly lets us discover more of who we are and our view of the world. She talks about some of the main themes that came out over her years of journaling that expose the things that are most important in her life, like belonging, adventure and forgiveness.
Deborah also expresses how she doesn’t use gratitude to cover up or push away bad feelings or grieving. She reminds us that in every low time, it’s ok to both feel those feelings and appreciate something in our life that is good. She also gives some concrete tips of how to start down the road of gratitude, how to be in the moment by boiling down the essence of what you value. The journey can take time but is life changing; it allows you to carry on more confidently and love yourself more fully.

What better way to start the week than with a story of a strong determined woman that helped her husband save tens of millions of lives? Patty delivers with her amazing guest Bee Bloeser. Bee is a speaker and the author of the incredible book, ‘VACCINES & BAYONETS: Fighting Smallpox in Africa amid Tribalism, Terror and the Cold War'.
She recounts her memories and experiences of her family, including her two children, during their time in Western Africa helping to eradicate smallpox. She talks about the desperation, death and disfigurement that the disease brings. But also the absolutely incredible work that her husband did to save so many lives. On one particular day, their organization administered 750,000 vaccines!! Yes you read that right. Before their mission was completed they reached one hundred million doses in just three and a half years! During this time Bee and her family experienced tremendous hardship in an area that was ruled by a brutal authoritarian government. There were many dangers all around them, and they had to do and discuss things that made their kids grow up faster than they would have liked. Through it all, she helped to change the destiny of a continent. Amazingly after all these years, Bee is working to go back to Africa to volunteer and help people again. If you’re feeling down and defeated right now, this story will inoculate you of that, and energize you to keep on fighting!

Our electronic devices help us in many ways every day. They also distract and consume too much of our time many days. When it comes to kids and devices, it’s a much more difficult circumstance. Kids with appropriately set guidelines and rules can go about their day productively, but some children find themselves easily sucked into a device addiction which can wreak havoc on their sleep, diet, behavior, and social growth. Fortunately, Patty knows someone who can help. She welcomes Mike Jacobus, a career Camp Director and youth-development specialist, internationally recognized author, child-development professional, and outdoor education guru. Mike created the Reset Summer Camp, the first of its kind anywhere. It’s a 4-week digital detox program, helping kids and families to break away from the grip of devices and gaming in particular. At the end of camp, it even includes both individual and family therapy to ensure the lessons they have learned continue after going home.
He talks about the feelings the kids have coming into the camp, the change he sees over the four weeks, the process of being accepted into the program, the dynamics with the parents of campers, some of the difficulties and some of the great success stories of kids that are more balanced, happy and successful.
Mike has been spotlighted on both the Today Show and Bloomberg, and is currently planning on expansion of this amazing program.

For those of us that live in cities or the suburbs, it’s always so gratifying to see and be able to visit large, picturesque preserved natural areas. Patty’s guest today is someone that works every day to ensure those spaces are kept safe for communities in California’s East Bay area. Linus Eukel is the Executive Director of the John Muir Land Trust. He oversees a budget of 50 million dollars, and the group has now preserved almost 4000 acres of land in the area.
Linus discusses the mission of the trust, the different ways they acquire land, how they are funded, some of the most surprising donations, the importance of preserving these lands permanently, some of his favorite projects he’s worked on, the opportunities that are opened up to the public, including educational opportunities, and what projects are currently underway with John Muir Land Trust.
It’s a fascinating look into a subject that many of us may not even realize the importance of as we go about our daily lives. But it is key in making the places we live more beautiful, livable and enjoyable.
There is one universal truth we all can agree on. We all grow older. Today Patty welcomes author, humorist, and memoirist, Ruth Yunker to talk about living vivaciously no matter your age. Ruth discusses the importance of staying curious and trying new things. She is taking on new sports and even going back to sports she did as a kid, while also trying her hand at modeling, She continues explaining the benefits of exercise both physically and mentally, and how therapy can keep you in a place of beneficial personal discovery. She also talks about how many people who are getting older can easily take on the role of victim, but it’s up to you to control that self-perception and your mindset towards that, and you're the only one that can make that change.
There are so many more good stories and lessons that she shares that will leave you feeling ready to shake off bad feelings and to get up and begin to change your life, enjoying it to the fullest at any age.
Ruth has published three books. Two are about her long term stays in Paris, traveling solo. "Me, Myself and Paris", and "Paris, I've Grown Accustomed to Your Ways".
Her latest is "Baby, I'm the Boss of Me, My Journey to Ageless". Ruth Yunker has found a way to tackle aging, using humor, personal power, and keeping curiosity alive.
She lives in Los Angeles, CA, and is the mother of two grown children whom she adores.

New parents know that those first couple of months are full of sleepless nights, getting up and down with feeding and changing. But after six months, getting up every hour, today's guest knew she needed something to help her baby sleep through the night. Not finding anything that worked, she created her own solution - a weighted sleep sack. Like a miniature, wearable version of a weighted blanket for adults, she thought it might just work. And work it did. Listen to the incredible difference it made in her baby's sleep, the story of her bringing her idea to market, and how she ended up on Shark Tank and catapulting her success.
It wasn't all easy though. Tara, her husband and children had just moved into a new house, then both lost their jobs, creating mountains of stress and financial unease, all while trying to start a business on her own.

"As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler" - Henry David Thoreau
This is where the origins of National Simplicity Day came from. And what better time to listen to this important advice. During COVID these last few years, homes have gotten more cluttered, our schedules have become more complicated, and our reliance on our devices has grown greater. Today Patty reminds us how vital it is to sometimes slow down and simplify our lives. If even for a week or day throughout the month. She gives advice on some of the best ways to do this, and shares an amazing letter from the late, great Paul Harvey on the hope that our kids and grandkids can still enjoy some of the pleasures of growing up in a simpler time.

Homophobia. Sexism. Racism. These are subjects that we hear a lot about in society, politics, schools, and the workplace. But how often do we hear about ageism? Today Patty welcomes another Patti to the show. Patti Temple Rocks, author and speaker, is here to talk about the subject… that no one talks about. Age has always been a bit taboo in most cultures. When it is spoken about, it’s often to make fun of or belittle those who are “over the hill.” But in companies across the globe, those same people are some of the most highly skilled, knowledgeable, and experienced employees that a company could ever hope to have.
Patty and Patti have a conversation about how ageism effects men and women differently, how companies are actually losing money by not catering to older, more experienced employees, and how honesty in the interview process pays off.

Today Patty welcomes Helen Ryan, author, entrepreneur, and podcaster to the show. Helen had a very difficult and traumatic childhood. But you would never know it today. Through the volatile upbringing and personal and professional struggles in adulthood, she weathered the storms and walked out the other side, stronger, wiser, and more resilient. Helen attributes this to her stubbornness and her genes. Her grandparents lived in German occupied Norway and later came to the US and started a business and flourished. This ingrained toughness got her through unsuccessful business ventures, divorce and out the other side to where she is helping others in physical and mental health, nutrition, and motivation. Helen shares amazing and inspiring stories of her life and health transformation.

For those of you that enjoy wine, and have even delved into the wine world, you're familiar with the verbose snobbery that often comes along with it. What if there was a wine expert that kept it real? Wouldn't that be refreshing? Well Patty has a friend who does just that. Mark Phillips, TV show host, author, and former head of the Wine Tasting Association. He brings a relaxed, fun and, open attitude towards wine that you can imagine is frowned upon by the traditional "wine snobs" but is applauded by the millions of regular wine drinkers that just appreciate some common sense insight.
Patty and Mark talk about how butter can save a bad wine choice, why to avoid the expensive bottles, understanding wine terms, why to ignore the wine critics, how he started his progressive approach to wine which led to his own show on PBS, and his love of pickleball. Sit back, grab a glass of whatever you enjoy, and listen to this amazing episode.

Today's episode is deep, funny and touching. Patty welcomes her friend Sandy Sheesley to the show, and by the end, you will wish she was your friend too. Sandy talks about her beginnings in law enforcement, and her time working in jails and interacting with inmates. She approached her very difficult job differently than many others working at the jail. She led with kindness and understanding, which many of the inmates probably rarely received in their lives. She was fortunate enough to see the outcome of that compassion years later.
Patty's rapid fire questions are excellent and there's an hilarious bonus story near the end of the show where Sandy recalls saving some very cute little lives.
