This is my first in-person interview, recorded at Patty Bear’s home in a medieval village in Provence. Her new book, Captain Patty’s Wisdom Hacks, launches September 9 and is available for preorder now.

We bridge the years after her memoir From Plain to Plane—from USAF KC-135 pilot (Desert Shield/Desert Storm) to nearly 30 years at United Airlines, parenting, coaching, and building a life between the U.S. and France.

In this episode:

  • Pay Yourself First (money, health, time, energy)
  • Like It or Love It? (making aligned choices)
  • New Day, New Jet (reset after mistakes)
  • The Ground Doesn’t Care (respect reality)
  • Mentor Yourself (self-leadership > gurus)
  • Anam Kara (soul friends & discussion prompts)
  • Leaving Your Neighborhood (life passages & growth)

Preorder: link in show notes
Launch: September 9

Also by Patty: From Plain to Plane and House of the Sun.
