Learning To Fly: How To Navigate Life's Challenges With Pat Wetzel

Cole Baker-Bagwell/Pat Wetzel Season 2 Episode 35

How many times have you faced a really big life challenge that felt like it would crush you? What helped you navigate to the other side? 

This week, we’re talking about how to turn those big gnarly life challenges into transformational, enriching possibilities from a woman who has been there, done that and is literally flying high!

Our guest this week is the fabulously courageous and wise Pat Wetzel: a speaker, storyteller, fellow podcaster, world traveler, and author of the soulful book Bump In The Road: 15 Stories of Courage, Hope and Resilience.  

Pat’s life  journeys (so far) have taken her from Wall Street to thirty thousand feet, flying her sailplane over the Sierras. Her story and those she helps other humans tell are a tonic for the soul. 

In this episode you'll learn about: 
The series of harrowing, simultaneous challenges Pat experienced that changed everything she knew to be true about herself and the life she was living

How meditation, mindset, and her sheer will to live led her home to herself and to extraordinary possibilities she'd never imagined 

Three of Pat's top tips that will help you take flight and soar in the face of challenge 

Pat and I hope this episode will remind you of three important truths: 
1. We all travel together

2. If you're going through hell, keep going babe. 

3. Brighter skies are waiting for you and you will get there.
