Show notes
This time, Patricia Cosulich (your host) is in the guest seat! Jake Mayers is the interviewer. Jake is a fellow coach, Lyme warrior, and performer/ artist, and he brings a fresh and fun perspective to this episode (while also keeping it real, as always). Together, they discuss how Patricia learned to embrace that life is transition (which did not come naturally to her). As a highly inquisitive and curious person, Patricia liked to question and understand everything. She was also a planner. After a number of events in her life, she chose to stop asking why. In learning to let go and embrace change and adaptability, she found the freedom to enjoy her life. In her early adult years, improvisational forms of dance and theatre helped her learn to be in the moment, connect with her body and intuition, and listen and communicate with others more deeply. Her healing process has allowed her to step into the fullest expression of herself yet– one where she can be creative, action-driven, have fun, and do so without burning out or flaring up. She believes you can be the active designer and conscious creator of your own life, and is passionate about developing practical tools and systems to make that a reality, all within a space of gentleness and compassion. Fun Fact: Did you know this is not Patricia & Jake’s first episode together? Check out “Focus on Possibilities,” a conversation on the In It Together podcast by Ride Out Lyme. About Your Guest Host, Jake: Jake Mayers is a Transformational Coach that helps people battling chronic illness regain control of life. Jake turned the pain of his 15-year battle with Chronic Lyme Disease into his mission to help others. But first, he failed Kindergarten- yes, it’s okay to laugh. That was when he began cultivating the ability to respond to challenges in an empowering way. He learned to embrace his unique differences as opportunities, rather than obstacles. That mindset propelled him through Lyme Disease and into launching a coaching business to help people live more fulfilled lives! Jake has a unique ability to connect with and support people through difficult times. He endured years of treatments, during which he was unable to function. He learned the hard way, but eventually turned things around. He went on to develop a 4-Step signature coaching model to help others do the same. Jake’s work surrounding his 4-Step Model has delivered massive, sustainable transformations. He’s an action-oriented empath who can’t wait to empower change in your life!
