Real talk about what just landed in your inbox... and an apology.


Ok! Not gonna lie!

You got an email from me earlier that was... not what I intended.

No formatting. No photo. Just raw text dropping into your inbox like I hit send by accident.

I didn't — but my AI assistant did. And to add insult to injury - my entire e-mail list got the message. Could have been worse... I guess!

Here's the truth: I am in the middle of an experiment.

I've been exploring how to use AI tools to help me reach you more consistently — because the vision is bigger than what I can execute alone, and I want to show up for you regularly, not just when I can carve out the time to do the work needed to get the posts and emails done. (Gurl, my analog roots are showing!)

But I'm learning. And, to keep it real, "ease of use" has a ceiling — especially when you care deeply about how your work lands.

The email you received earlier? The words were mine. The send button was not. The execution did not meet the promise.

I'm pissed but I am not giving up!

I'm still figuring out where AI earns my trust and where it doesn't. Between my LinkedIn post hiccups (yah - that too!) and this email, Richard (I did name my AI) truly missed the mark. For that I truly apologize.

On a side note, when I called him out, he tried to say it wasn't him.

🤣🤣🤣 (So if it wasn't me and it wasn't him, who was it?!?) Damn!

I'm saying this now, because if you are using AI, be careful. It will make mistakes AND it will try to gaslight you, LOL!

As a side note, I am happy to to bring you along for my AI exploration journey if you are interested— because I suspect I am not the only one navigating this.

Send me a note or a DM if you are.

Oh, and for the sticklers who get hung up in occasional typos and grammatical mis-steps...

... you are definitly in the wrong place! At least you'll know it's from me!

For now — thank you for being here. The real conversation is coming.

— Dr. Pat

P.S. If the earlier email made you curious anyway — good. Stay tuned. I'm really excited to share with you what's next. If you want to unsubscribe, just hit the button blow with my blessings.

Early in my career, there was an enounter that I replayed for hours afterward. During a faculty meeting, I started to share a thought. I said “I feel like we should…” And before I could finish, I was interrupted. “Nobody cares what you feel.” A senior faculty member said it. Out loud. You could have heard a pin drop. What just happened? I stayed composed. Finished the meeting. Moved on. But later? I replayed it. Over and over. Not because I didn’t know what to say. But because something...

You are not too much. What you’re experiencing is something more layered. There’s a framework I teach called The Meaning Split™. And once you see it, you cannot unsee it. Here’s the concept: Most of us think we’re reacting to what happened in a room, in a conversation, in a moment. We’re not. We’re actually carrying three separate experiences — collapsed into one emotional response: 1. The INTENTION — what you actually meant. Your purpose in that moment.2. The INTERPRETATION — how someone...

What if I told you… This isn’t a confidence problem? Most women I work with are not lacking confidence. They’re highly aware. Highly capable. But they’re caught in a pattern. A quiet one. You say something. Someone reacts. And instantly, your brain goes to: “What did I do wrong?” But here’s what’s actually happening: You’re not just reacting to the moment. You’re reacting to what you’ve learned that moment means about you. It's conditioning..... and that distinction matters. Because it means...
