At 31, I thought confidence came from having the answers.
At 51, I think it comes from being comfortable not having them.
ย
Iโve learned that:
ย
โข You can do everything right and still face hard seasons.
โข You can be successful and still struggle.
โข You can be scared and move forward anyway.
โข You can change your mind and survive it.
โข You can ask for help and remain strong.
ย
Most of life isnโt about certainty.
ย
Itโs about learning to navigate uncertainty without losing yourself.
(That lesson alone would have saved me a lot of stress...)
ย
Looking back, age has taught me something I wish I had understood much earlier:
ย
Control matters less than I thought.
Connection matters more than I ever imagined.
ย
And perhaps the greatest gift of getting older is realizing that you donโt need to have life figured out to live it well.
ย
P.S. This post is a little late because May was busy, full, and wonderful. Looking back, that feels fitting... some lessons are worth sitting with before sharing.

This is my happy place.
Right between my two favorite humans in the world.
ย
Last week in New York, at Sessions 2026, Esther Perel shared a powerful idea that resonated deeply with me:
ย
We donโt heal first and then connect.
Very often, we heal through connection.
ย
And honestly, a lot of what Iโve learned about relationships didnโt come only from books, research, or years as a psychotherapist. It came from living life with these two.
ย
Through loving and being loved while weโre still learning.
Through being understood while weโre still figuring ourselves out.
Through staying present with each other in the messy moments.
ย
Somewhere along the way, many of us learned we had to become โbetterโ before being worthy of belonging.
ย
But relationships are not the reward at the end of healing.
ย
They are often the path.
ย
And these two humans have taught me that lesson more than they will ever know.

This photo was taken when I wasn`t trying to be anything.
Just breakfast. A friend. No agenda.
That`s when I feel most alive โ and most like myself.
For a long time, I lived in performance mode.
Capable.
Composed.
Curating myself instead of expressing myself.
What I`ve noticed, in my own life, and at work as a therapist, is that the deeper longing is rarely for more success.
๐๐ญโ๐ฌ ๐๐จ๐ซ ๐ฆ๐จ๐ซ๐ ๐๐ซ๐๐๐๐จ๐ฆ.
Freedom from needing to prove.
Freedom from constant self-monitoring.
Freedom to be real.
The moment we stop performing is not the moment we fall apart.
Itโs often the moment we finally come home to ourselves.
Turns out, living is lighter than performing.
And far more sustainable.

Not because learning sharpens my work โ though it does.
But because every new thing I learn changes how I see people, relationships, and the world.
ย
Lifelong learning isnโt really about getting better at your craft.
It shapes how you relate.
ย
Stay a student and you stay curious.
You make room for views that arenโt your own.
You hold the humility to know thereโs always more to understand.
ย
Thatโs what makes someone a better therapist, leader, partner, friend, and parent.
ย
And lately, itโs had me brewing.
I spent this past week with a remarkable cohort at the University of Virginia.
People Iโve been learning alongside, in person and online, since March.
ย
It sparked a new project I canโt wait to share with you soon.
My final project is beautiful.
I hope it will spark change and inspire people.

Esther called it needing "tight knots for our loose threads" โ relationship structures still matter. The work is learning to live inside them: what do we owe each other, what do we owe ourselves?
๐๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ฌ๐๐ฑ ๐ซ๐๐๐๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ง.
Men are still expected to initiate, but many now hesitate, afraid of being seen as creeps. The reframe landed for me: taking the risk isn`t the problem. Ignoring a "no" is. Lean in. Respect the answer.
And the line I keep replaying:

Art has a way of stretching your mind.
Frieze NY starts today, and I never go to art fairs just for the art.
I go for what happens around it.
The exhibitions across the city.
The conversations.
The themes artists are wrestling with.
The way they translate what is happening in the world into color, shape, image, and tension.
Art reminds me that there is never just one way to see something.
And that matters far beyond museums.
In relationships, leadership, and life, we grow when we allow our thinking to be challenged. When we stop treating different perspectives as threats, and start seeing them as invitations.
A different point of view is not always better or worse.
Sometimes, it simply helps us see life in full color. #PatriciaBathory #Art #Leadership

Two years ago, I walked on stage shaking.
Not from nerves. But from years of carrying something I had never said out loud.
My youngest daughter, Sabrina, was diagnosed with a rare syndrome.
And for a long time, four feelings overwhelmed me:
Fear. Resentment. Guilt. Shame.
I waited until the year she turned 18, and until she said yes.
Because it`s her story too.
But the moment I finally spoke?
I stopped being alone.
It took a village (and a lot of therapy) to help me process what I was feeling.
And when I shared it publicly?
People leaned in. Not away.
That`s what we get wrong about vulnerability.
It doesn`t weaken us. It connects us.
And connection is what carries us through.
๐ Here is part of the video from that unforgettable day โ can you hear the emotion in my voice?

Learn how to serve better.

Just people creating space for others to grow.

Want to instantly improve your relationships?
Most people assume stronger relationships require bigger conversations, perfect timing, or dramatic change.
More often, they improve through small shifts in how we relate.
Trade judgment for curiosity. You canโt be truly curious and deeply judgmental at the same time. The moment curiosity enters, tension begins to soften.
Listen to learn. Not to reply quickly. Not to fix. Not to defend your position. Listen to understand what the other person is actually trying to say.
Practice intellectual humility. None of us sees the full picture. There is always context we donโt know, experiences we havenโt lived, and something we may be missing.
Iโve seen these simple shifts change marriages, teams, friendships, and leadership dynamics.
Because healthier relationships are rarely built through grand gestures.
They are built through better habits.
Simple shifts.
Massive impact.
Which one feels most important for you right now?
