We Are Not the Wind: Learning to Catch Life’s Momentum

with Barbara Patterson

About This Episode

What if momentum, success, and creativity weren’t something you had to force? In this solo episode, Barb shares a transformative insight that changed the way she approaches business, creativity, and life: we are not the wind—we catch it.

Through personal stories, client examples, and reflections from decades of experience, she invites you to stop pushing and start listening. You’ll explore what it means to align with the natural rhythm of life, how to tell the difference between mental momentum and natural momentum, and why “not now” might be one of the most powerful directions you’ll ever receive.

If you’re feeling stuck, forcing something that used to work, or unsure whether to keep pushing or pause, this episode offers a compass to realign with what’s alive, true, and meant for you.
