Hailing from a family of Cambodian genocide survivors, Sathya Patterson's parents worked diligently to support their family. Starting with recycling cardboard and cans, they eventually built a small business empire that allowed them to retire in their fifties. This success was achieved through hard work, saving, and making prudent investments in real estate, gold, and diamonds.

Building wealth through hard work, wise investing, and living within one's means, coupled with forgiveness and compassion as integral paths to healing trauma and cultivating self-love, can lead to personal and financial freedom. Sathya Shea Patterson's journey exemplifies this principle. Patterson's experience as a single mother at a young age further reinforced the importance of financial stability. She returned to school when her daughter was three months old, earning a finance degree from Cal State Fullerton.

Patterson's journey to success in the financial world was also largely due to her commitment to showing compassion towards those who have caused harm, recognizing that they may have been acting from a place of confusion or pain. By delving into her inner child and offering love and acceptance, a spiritual journey and practice that began in her 20s, she was able to heal past wounds and nurture a sense of self-worth.

Join Aaron and Sathya for a heartfelt discussion on finding purpose, choosing compassion and forgiveness, and embracing life to the fullest.
