Struggling with relationships? You're not alone. The Good Neighbor Podcast welcomes Patty Farinola, founder of The Awareness Studio, who transforms the way we think about connections with others.

Patty's journey from relationship chaos to expertise is both refreshing and inspiring. "I used to say I had a faulty partner picker," she reveals, sharing her history of a failed marriage and broken engagement before finding the knowledge she was missing. After years of therapy, workshops, and dedicated study, she not only found lasting love (celebrating 23 years with her husband) but developed a method to help others succeed where she once failed.

What makes Patty's approach revolutionary is her challenge to conventional wisdom. "Relationships make us stronger if we do them well, and our happiness comes from that strength, not from the relationship." This powerful distinction helps clients stop looking for happiness in others and start building it within themselves. She also dispels the myth that marriage marks the end of relationship work, explaining that real growth happens after saying "I do."

Whether you're single and searching, in a relationship that needs rejuvenation, or struggling with workplace connections, Patty's insight that "how we do one relationship is how we do all of them" offers a transformative perspective.
