Ep 44: Exploring Creativity, Passion & Purpose with Author Pat Backley...

Today on Living Big Mindfully I am so excited to be connecting with Pat Backley.

Pat, has a truly inspirational story, full of twists, turns, joys & challenges. Pat found the love of writing in her early 70’s. In the last 3 years Pat has authored & published 8 books including the popular Abandoned Wives Handbook.

Listen in as Pat shares her beautiful journey through challenge, scarcity & loss to joy, peace, & empowerment. 

We start by sharing a bit about our commonalities – which (for me) was a lovely walk down memory lane, then Pat tells us a bit about growing up in England, traveling, and eventually finding her way to New Zealand, where she lives today!

In this warm, honest, heartfelt conversation – my favourite kind😊Pat chats openly about: 

• Romance 
• Mortality
• And, the importance of staying open to possibilities – even in our later years!

Pat goes on to share some practical tips & strategies about traveling solo, staying hopeful (even when things are hard…), and cultivating a never-too-late attitude – (which she models SO well…) 

No surprise, Pat wraps it all up with some wise sage advice…

Of course, links to connect with Pat are in the show notes😊
