What does it actually mean to Take Heart?

In Episode 52, Pati goes deep on the origin story of TakeHeart, the podcast, the name, the mission God has been quietly writing all along. She traces it to hearts she kept finding on her walks as a widow, to a simple sentence from her pastor that spoke straight to her heart, and to John 16:33, the scripture that gave the podcast it's name.

But this isn't just a behind-the-scenes episode. It's afoundation episode, because understanding the heart behind Take Heart helps you understand what you're stepping into when you listen.

Pati also introduces the five content pillars that willguide Season 2:

 ✦  Mindset & Identity: renewing how youthink and see yourself

✦  Purpose, Gifts, Dreams & Calling:hearing what God has planted in you

✦  Courage & Action: taking the nextfaithful step through the messy middle

✦  Faith & trusting God in every season,especially the hard ones

✦  Intentional Living: designing a life alignedwith your faith and your season

And she closes with this: Take Heart isn't just about dreams and goals. At its deepest, it's God's courage in us, not only to dream, but the promise of His comfort and courage when we mourn...

and the promise that you never have to do either alone.

Friend, welcome to Season 2 of Take Heart with Pati P,

and welcome to the beginning of a whole new chapter.

After Episode 50 aired in September 2023, I stepped away from this microphone for what I thought would be a few months. That short break turned into almost three years — a season I now lovingly call my caterpillar soup season. A sacred pause. A quiet, messy, space where I could rest, reflect, rekindle my heart and life, rediscover what's next and re imagine new dreams and possibilities.

In this Season 2 relaunch episode, I share what those years actually held: the year of farewells, the deep burnout, the day I sold my camera, difficult goodbyes, and the process of just catching my breath, with God gentle leading.

You'll walk away with three truths I hope carry you through your own messy middle: God is not finished with you. There is a reason for every season. And it is never, ever too late to dream again. Whether you're chasing a dream, working toward a goal, or just beginning to find your next steps. 

Take Heart friend, you're in the right place.

A Little Creamer for your coffee:   Courage

"Courage is not the absence of fear. Courage is a choice you get to make every single day, and THAT is what Take Heart is all about."
