What if the journey to becoming your most authentic self has already begun, but you've been hiding from it?

In this deeply personal conversation with author and coach Patty Elvey, we explore how decades of curiosity, questioning, and risk-taking led to one powerful practice: becoming who you truly are.

Patty shares her evolution from behind-the-scenes support for Silicon Valley visionaries and thought leaders like George Carlin and Arianna Huffington, to stepping fully into her own voice through her debut book, Practicing the Art of Becoming. After 30 years of intending to write it, she finally did, and what poured out was pure, unfiltered honesty.

We talk about:

⚡️ The transformative power of affirmations

⚡️ What it really means to be honest with yourself, even when it's terrifying

⚡️ Why silence can be just as authentic as speaking up

⚡️ How risk and authenticity go hand in hand

⚡️ The surprising chapter on lying that's changing marriages and leadership teams

⚡️Why people lie

If you've ever struggled to claim your own worthiness, hidden your gifts, or felt frozen by the fear of being seen, this episode will meet you exactly where you are … and gently invite you forward.

Some conversations are about impact.

About responsibility.

About what happens when someone sees a problem and decides not to look away.

In this episode of Something New Is Possible, I sit down with Joseph Gitler, founder and chairman of Leket Israel, the country’s largest food rescue organization.

What began in 2003 as a small volunteer effort to address hunger and food waste has grown into a national operation supporting over 415,000 people every week, partnering with 300+ nonprofits, powered by 95,000 volunteers, and rescuing tens of millions of kilos of food each year.

This conversation is an invitation to zoom out.

To reflect on impact beyond ourselves.

And to remember that change often starts not with a perfect plan, but with a refusal to accept “this is just how it is.”

If you’ve ever wondered what meaningful leadership looks like in real life, this conversation is for you.
