Practicing the Art of Becoming | A Conversation with Patty Elvey
About this episode
What if the journey to becoming your most authentic self has already begun, but you've been hiding from it?
In this deeply personal conversation with author and coach Patty Elvey, we explore how decades of curiosity, questioning, and risk-taking led to one powerful practice: becoming who you truly are.
Patty shares her evolution from behind-the-scenes support for Silicon Valley visionaries and thought leaders like George Carlin and Arianna Huffington, to stepping fully into her own voice through her debut book, Practicing the Art of Becoming. After 30 years of intending to write it, she finally did, and what poured out was pure, unfiltered honesty.
We talk about:
⚡️ The transformative power of affirmations
⚡️ What it really means to be honest with yourself, even when it's terrifying
⚡️ Why silence can be just as authentic as speaking up
⚡️ How risk and authenticity go hand in hand
⚡️ The surprising chapter on lying that's changing marriages and leadership teams
⚡️Why people lie
If you've ever struggled to claim your own worthiness, hidden your gifts, or felt frozen by the fear of being seen, this episode will meet you exactly where you are … and gently invite you forward.
