Welcome to the Carousel of Happiness Podcast. On today's episode, you'll meet gift shop manager and social media maven, Pat Hagberg. Pat was the original “girl boss” before that was even a term, and upon retirement, she found her way to the carousel in 2012. Chances are, whether you are young or old, if you’ve walked through the carousel doors, you’ve had the opportunity to experience Pat’s healing presence. Through Pat, we’ll learn about the power of compassionate listening, and how she’s literally been training her whole life for the position she has now.
