Birthday Hip Replacement!

It’s My Birthday and All I’m Getting is My 2nd Hip Replacement… And I Couldn’t Be Happier

Each year on my birthday, I set a goal for myself.

When I turned 42, I knew it was time for big changes, so I started taking it one year at a time.

Age 42: Quit drinking - my most important step.

Age 43: Commit to daily workouts.

Age 44: Focus on nutrient-dense foods.

Age 45: Learn to manage stress better.

Ages 46, 47, 48: Life imploded: COVID, breast cancer, show canceled, financial ruin. It was the darkest period of my life. For the first time ever, I would just lie in bed and cry, wondering: What happened? My only goal was survival.

Just a month before my 49th birthday, we sold our house and moved from LA to Delaware. It was a massive transition, but I grounded myself with three words I keep on a board in my office: Purpose, Peace, Profit. Every decision I’ve made since has had to check at least one of those boxes.

That’s when I decided to shape the next few years of my life around them. New goals!

Age 49: Purpose

At 49, I focused on Purpose. My dream was to open Hiatus 24: Hot yoga, Pilates, Wellness Café, before I turned 50. And by the time I blew out those candles, Hiatus 24 was already two months old. Purpose: ✔️

Age 50: Peace

When I turned 50, my focus shifted to Peace — specifically tackling the chronic pain that had plagued me for years. On June 24th (Hiatus 24’s one-year anniversary), I had my first hip replacement.

The results were remarkable. Within three weeks, my physical therapist told me I looked like I was six months post-op. For the first time in years, I could see a bright light at the end of a very long, dark tunnel.

Now, on September 26th, I’m back for round two: my second hip replacement. Soon, I’ll be brand new — LIMITLESS!

Age 51: Profit

That brings me to this birthday. The focus now? Profit. :-)

But for me, Profit isn’t just about money. It’s about finally stepping into abundance in every sense — financial stability, yes, but also the freedom to create, to inspire, to lead, and to give back. It’s about reaping the rewards of years of resilience, hard work, and healing.

I’m sure my husband wishes I had started with this one, but I’ve always believed that without Purpose and Peace, Profit can’t truly come. And now, I’m ready.

Look out — 100% PRODUCTIVE Patty is on the way! I’m even a little nervous about what that means… (sorry, honey!).

I’m putting it out into the universe and manifesting my goal for 51: to thrive, to grow, and to turn every lesson into fuel for what’s next.

None of this is easy. None of this is magic. I’m very competitive, so I compete with myself:

CAN I DO IT? Of course I can — stay tuned!

xx,

Patty
