Patti Digh – closing out the year - a podcast by Koren Motekaitis
from 2012-12-31T22:06:32
Patti Digh was my first guest and final guest for 2012. Patti and I wrapped up 2012 in this interview. For those of you new to Patti she is writer, a speaker and a mom. Her work opens space for people to say a big YES: to their lives – before its s too late.
You see in 2003 Patti Digh s entire life changed. Her stepfather was diagnosed with lung cancer. He died 37 days later. That experience lead Patti to a renewed commitment to ask herself every morning: what would I be doing today if I only had 37 days to live? Patti is the author of several books including best seller Life is a Verb.
As she mentioned in the previous interview, she asks herself these questions as she shapes her life:
How well did you love?
How fully did you live?
How deeply did you let go?
Did you make a difference?
In this interview we discuss:
- Intention Driven vs Circumstance Driven
- Control – her daughter’s diagnosis with Aspergers and her husband’s unexpected cancer diagnosis
- What we learned
- Accepting help
- From our interview in Jan 2012, Patti mentioned how obstacles move the story forward, we further discussed this.
- Two takeaways – 3 things going through loss/grief
Items mentioned in this interview:
- Patti’s husband (otherwise known as Mr. Brilliant) journey with cancer
- Patti’s daughter and Asperger’s
