A Journey of Purpose:
Home Economics to Empowerment:
Patti combined her purpose and passion throughout her life, from graduating with a Home Economics diploma to becoming a motivational speaker, author, and Wellness Coach. Life isn’t about where you start; it’s about the work you put in, your choices, and the resilience you need to grow into your true purpose. Every chapter builds the next. Align with your purpose, put in the work, and become more.
Seeking Purpose:
Then and Now
In the 1970s, young adults struggled to grow up and find themselves—a journey of identity, purpose, and responsibility. Decades later, the same struggle remains, with even more distractions, societal pressures, and uncertainty about the future. Success isn’t about waiting for clarity, it’s about putting in the work, making intentional choices, and building the character needed to create a meaningful future.
