Your body is the first home you ever live in — and how you treat it shapes your confidence, leadership, and sense of purpose.

In this powerful and personal episode, Patty reconnects with Pejay Lucky, a longtime mentor and foundational figure from his college years. Pejay played a major role in Patty’s development during his time in residence life and student leadership, offering guidance during pivotal moments of growth, heartbreak, and self-discovery.

Together, they reflect on their work with Distinguished Gentlemen, a student organization centered on healthy masculinity through three core pillars: Justice, Unity, and Discipline. From the Annual Women’s Appreciation Dinner to domestic violence awareness initiatives and leadership programming, they discuss how those experiences shaped their values and continue to influence their lives today.

Pejay shares his evolution toward treating the body not as something to punish or “fix,” but as a sanctuary — a place deserving of care, gratitude, and discipline rooted in love rather than shame. The conversation expands into faith, resilience, identity, and what it means to lead with integrity.

Now serving as Assistant Dean for Student Success at Fairfield University’s Bellarmine Campus, Pejay also speaks about his work mentoring students and his growing initiative focused on guiding men toward purpose, accountability, and wholeness. He opens up about fatherhood, marriage, community building in Bridgeport, Connecticut, and the role faith in Christ plays in his life.

Topics include:

• Healthy masculinity and leadership

• Faith, discipline, and self-respect

• Navigating heartbreak and personal growth

• Body gratitude and self-care

• Mentorship, education, and legacy

This episode is a reminder that strength isn’t just physical — it’s emotional, spiritual, and lived out daily through how we care for ourselves and others.

Flexibility isn’t just about stretching your body—it’s about learning how to move through life without breaking.

In this New Year’s episode of The Patty Show, I sit down with a former Division I athlete turned engineer whose life has been shaped by movement, culture, and adaptability. With roots spanning Barcelona and Madagascar, fluency across multiple languages, and experiences that stretch far beyond the court, this conversation explores what it really means to stay flexible—physically, mentally, and emotionally.

We talk about letting go of rigid expectations after competitive sports, rediscovering joy in movement by running without a watch, and how learning to adapt has opened doors in career, travel, and identity. From elite athletics to engineering, from structured training to intuitive living, this episode is about bending with life instead of fighting it.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, burned out, or overly attached to “the plan,” this conversation is a reminder that freedom often lives on the other side of flexibility.

✨ New year. New mindset. More room to breathe.

n this Christmas episode, I sit down with someone who’s been family to me since Fairfield University — Alex Jeffrey. Alex isn’t just strong in the physical sense. He’s the definition of emotional, mental, and spiritual strength… the kind of strength that shows up in how you love, lead, and lift up the people around you.

We talk about everything from his cornerback football days in high school, to becoming the man he is today — a dedicated husband, a real estate professional turned Assistant VP at a private bank in NYC, and one of the most genuine supporters I’ve ever had.

Alex shares the story of getting married in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, where I was lucky enough to celebrate with him, Dani, and their incredible families. And yes… we send a big shoutout to his wife Dani, who’s pure sunshine, and to the Jeffrey crew — especially his dad Doug, who had me crying laughing at the wedding with the legendary Jackie Chan joke.

We talk discipline, resilience, and why strength is something you build long before you build muscle. Alex reflects on the influence of his two older brothers, the role models who shaped him, and why lifting others up is the real flex.

Whether you’re training, healing, rebuilding, or reinventing yourself… this episode reminds you that strength is a journey — and who you become on the way matters most.
