This is my first in-person interview, recorded at Patty Bear’s home in a medieval village in Provence. Her new book, Captain Patty’s Wisdom Hacks, launches September 9 and is available for preorder now.
We bridge the years after her memoir From Plain to Plane—from USAF KC-135 pilot (Desert Shield/Desert Storm) to nearly 30 years at United Airlines, parenting, coaching, and building a life between the U.S. and France.
In this episode:
- Pay Yourself First (money, health, time, energy)
- Like It or Love It? (making aligned choices)
- New Day, New Jet (reset after mistakes)
- The Ground Doesn’t Care (respect reality)
- Mentor Yourself (self-leadership > gurus)
- Anam Kara (soul friends & discussion prompts)
- Leaving Your Neighborhood (life passages & growth)
Preorder: link in show notes
Launch: September 9
Also by Patty: From Plain to Plane and House of the Sun.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
