Who:   Patty Kogutek - Bestselling Author of A Change of Habit: 7 Secrets to Guilt-Free Living

What We Talked About:  It’s Throwback Thursday!  Listen to this classic interview where I talked to Patty Kogutek about how to live without guilt.  Patty, a former nun, was a self-professed guilt-sponge who one day shed her habit and eventually also shed her habit of feeling guilty.  If you want to learn her secrets to guilt-free living, then this is the episode for you.

Why I Like Patty:  A former nun who transformed herself from Sister Mary Kateri to Sister Mary Vodka?  What’s not to love?  Patty is self-aware and culturally aware and full of observations about how we’re affected by the world around us and more importantly, how we can rise above our cultural training.

Great Line: You have to learn to trust your own intuition and what’s going on inside of you instead of looking for approval and what other people want of you.
