Pat's business and personal life were thriving; she had a great family and was spending time travelling with her spouse. But Pat started to feel stuck and sensed that there was more. She took a pause and pursued a Masters degree in Continuing Education with a focus on "time starvation".
Pat renamed and relaunched her business to help people, feeling overloaded, underappreciated, exhausted, and disheartened, to take a pause for renewal. She shares how she used curiosity, mindfulness, and awareness to find what sparked her leading to a career and life transition. She did a TED talk on malaise – the experience of rusting out, coasting, and feeling stuck.
Today, Pat is an accomplished watercolour artist - she found her spark. She is in the process of making an important life transition as she shifts her time from her consulting and speaker business to her love and passion for art.
