‘reclaim your space’ client ~ ROSARIO
I don’t know what I would have done without Patty’s help. I had so much work to do before getting my house on the market & Patty simplified this process. Patty is very hard-working and gets things done. I would gladly hire her again & recommend her highly.

We all come to this world alone – tiny pieces of the enormous and powerful Universe. It takes us time and experience to realize how precious and unique our presence here is. We are like wild rivers, give comfort and strength to some creatures and destroy others. We laugh and cry, we fail and fly up to the skies. Every day is a new path in the journey called life. The more we walk, the more we grow, the more important it turns who stand by us. To me every person I meet on the way is a small piece to my own portrait. Patty, thank you very much for being so passionate and kind, thank you for sharing with me a part of your soul and opening the writing side of me. I wish we could talk more as I feel like you are my friend now. But if our paths have to split now, just know that yоu will always be a part of my heart!

I'm so lucky to meet this amazing woman 🌷 during my second year in a new city. Together we've solved so many problems and gained big changes, I've overcome my anxiety in social events and made new friends, I've got the answer of the meaning of life (Patty gave me the answer right away!), I've managed to stay peaceful during stressful work, I've learned to put myself at the first place, I'm much more curious about the world than before... The most important bit is, I start to intentionally understand my deep down passion, and now I'm more and more confident I'll build an amazing life spending time on things I love. She's a woman who has swallowed sunshine. She's a compassionate truth friend who you could feel safe to share. She's an insightful coach who instinctively understands your problem when you don't.

“I would not be where I am today without this rockstar of a woman. Patty has been immeasurable to my journey of healing and self worth. I will be forever grateful to her for all of her wisdom and kindness.”

"Patty's advice and understanding was invaluable. She instinctively knew when to push me to the next level and knew when to pause. She is compassionate and funny and together we helped me break some old patterns (negative ones) and replace them with positive tools to use in the situations that challenge me. One thing I loved about working with Patty was together we really focused on results. If a technique didn't work for me we ditched it and found something that did. Life is good at throwing us curves and since spending time with Patty and putting into practice the advice she gave me and things to do when I hit my personal walls I am much better at handling them!"

"Kudos to Patty for the positive ideas she instilled in me last fall! I no longer spend inordinate amounts of time looking back, feeling guilt or regret, or wallowing in self-pity about the past. I'm learning a lot, especially about myself, getting my confidence back, realizing my self worth, having fun, making new friends, and am in a MUCH better place now! I am truly grateful to Patty."
Elizabeth
What an awesome session. I feel like together we uncovered what is at the root of what is holding me back personally and professionally. It was cool to have someone else's perspective force me to take a step back instead of charging through a to-do list to feel a sense of accomplishment. Patty was super insightful, asked really great questions and I just felt all around supported :)

Thank you. I could not be here in this moment without your patient teaching, guidance and love along the way! Deep gratitude for your work, lady.
Jessica
"We bonded over the heart break every woman feels at the disillusionment of "happily ever after", the ending of a marriage. Her coaching style is warm, reassuring and full of compassion. There was never anything but deep love in every word in every conversation. Through her experiences, Patty knows the pain associated with divorce. And because of that she has come out the other side, full of insights and deep compassion to share with others. I am deeply grateful to Patty for all of her compassionate coaching."
Natalie Stets, Intuitive Guide & Coach, Founder of Soul Gypsy
"Completing the Infinite Possibilities workshop with Patty Blue Hayes was an incredibly valuable experience. My awareness of my negative self-talk increased and I learned how to compassionately question my beliefs in order to clarify their origins. I still use the tools for re-framing my thoughts and communication to be positive and supportive of what I want to create next in my life! Thank you Patty"
Meghan Madsen, Program Manager for Transitions Mental Health Agency Wellness Center

“I was launching a new subscription box and felt that my copy could use some pizzazz and Patty Blue Hayes more than delivered. She took the time to understand who I am and what my brand stands for, and then captured the essence and turned average copy into a compelling story that unfolded over a series of emails. I wholeheartedly recommend Patty to everyone looking to make their copy shine.
JOEL SALOMON, BESTSELLING AUTHOR - MINDFUL MONEY MANAGEMENT
“Patty is such a giving, helpful, thoughtful soul. She gave me amazing insights into my book that made it become an Amazon best-seller. Among her best advice was to focus on who the target market is for the book, who I wanted to help, and to think about the “hero’s journey” in each chapter and the book.
Mindful Money Management: Memoirs of a Hedge Fund Manager would not be the book it is today without Patty’s insights and advice. I would highly recommend her for anyone interested in making their book a bestseller.”
Moti weinberg, owner, punta malibu ocean pads -
“Patty created website copy and listing information for my boutique hotel that brought life to the property. She also contributed conceptually to the property, bringing a cohesive tone to the environment. I found her easy to work with, she understood my overall objectives and she always met deadlines.”

Franz Wisner, NY Times bestselling author of Honeymoon with My Brother and How the World Makes Love
Brava to Patty Blue Hayes for having the strength and courage to pen a heartfelt, riveting, and unflinchingly honest account of her divorce and subsequent downward spiral. Packed with insights and emotional discoveries, Wine, Sex and Suicide – My Near Death Divorce, is a must-read for anyone who has struggled to recover from a life-jolting setback.
MARY JO RAKOWSKI
PERSONAL TRAINER FOR THE MIND
I applaud her bravery in opening up to such a depth that at times it took my breath away! When I finished reading, there was a point when I thought of Elizabeth Gilbert’s book, ‘Eat, Pray, Love’. So many women and some men I am sure, have these life altering events happen and for the most part we still do not ‘speak’ of them. And some struggle much harder, longer to extricate themselves from their own darkness.
alex milaychev - Public speaking coach
Patty takes the reader on a visceral journey through the darkest places of the human soul. This honest, raw, exposed story sheds light on the nature of human suffering, and makes it okay to feel not okay. Reading this true tale made me feel less afraid of my own demons, knowing that human tenacity can carry us through even our darkest hours. I would recommend this book not only to those suffering from heartbreak, but also to those who know someone that is. I would also recommend this book to the happily married woman who has ever said to herself, "I don't know what I'd do if I lost him." It's empowering to know the answer to that question.
Charles J. Orlando, bestselling author of The Problem with Women… is Men® book series
Wine, Sex and Suicide offers a raw look into the ugly emotional challenges of separating after a long-term relationship. Patty Blue Hayes connects with her readers through her sheer willingness to be transparent and vulnerable, and has penned an amazing married-but-headed-through-the-swirling-maelstrom-of-divorce version of Eat. Pray. Love. For those women who are fearful of what things will look like on the other side of separation, Wine, Sex and Suicide serves as a beacon of empathy and hope, showcasing how you never really know how strong you are until the Universe forces your hand.
Dave Congalton, News/Talk 920 KVEC Radio, authorsanonymous-movie.com
Wine, Sex and Suicide - My Near Death Divorce, is an unflinching, uncompromising, look at how the author's life spins out of control in the wake of an unexpected divorce after 17 years of marriage. Patty Blue Hayes drags us across the barren, emotional landscape of abandonment, alcohol, and addiction as she struggles to maintain order in her post-marriage world. Hayes pulls no punches in sharing her uphill battle with sex addiction, her fight to maintain hope and a positive self image. There are sections so raw, the reader will feel like an intruder. But kudos to Hayes for the courage to tell her story and hopefully her journey will inspire others struggling with similar issues. Often a difficult story to read, but ultimately inspiring and heartfelt, beautifully told by one who was once lost, but now is found.
SUSAN RICE - COMEDIAN-'stop me if i've heard this' podcast
“The author painted a great visual picture. It was heartbreaking to read her story and yet it was clear that she would bounce back from the adversity.”
amazon review - great book even if you are not heartbroken!
This genuine and inspirational book is perfect for anyone who has experienced a loss in his or her's life. It will help somebody to get through a divorce, a breakup or the death of someone close. It shows you that even in the darkest time, you are not alone!
I am happily married, but I really enjoyed reading Wine, Sex and Suicide. You don't need to be heartbroken to be touched and inspired by the spiritual path that the author Patty Blue Hayes initiates after her divorce. I absolutely love Los Angeles, so I really loved seeing the city through her eyes. I was very captivated by the way Ms Hayes talks about her relationship with others. She describes beautifully her feelings throughout the entire book; I could not put it down! I also have a lot of admiration for people who are able to show their dark side. Everyone could relate with what Patty Blue Hayes talks about in this diary style book.
amazon review - Anyone who has gone through a painful divorce, or truly any painful time.
Patty's style of writing gripped me immediately. It is a raw, honest, and brave account of a dark time in the author's life. Anyone who has gone through a painful divorce, or truly any painful time, can relate and feel less alone. And for people who haven't experienced a similar experience it is still a wonderful story of a broken spirit who moves towards healing. It is inspiring to witness the positivity that the author maintains throughout. Beautiful story that leaves one wanting to know what happens next.

Amazon review - very inspiring
I couldn't put this book down! Patty is a wonderful author.... I would love to read more. So glad she was able to turn her pain into writing. To help other women not feel so alone. To help women realize they need to create an identity of their own and not allow someone else to make up their self worth. I didn't want this book to end... The story can't stop there! Will the journey be continued? I could honestly read a whole series! Very inspiring... Thanks for sharing something so deep and personal. This book is a great read!
Good Reads Review - It was amazing
The author shares her story of love, marriage, and divorce. The author goes on to describe her life before, during, and after divorce. The loss of a marriage is like any loss. There is a grieving process and she let's us know it's OK to grieve for it truly is a loss. Not only a loss of spouse, but extended family and friends as well. We read of her life, self sabotage and blame, a woman struggling to find herself. It was well written and an honest portrayal. I thank the author for sharing her story. As a woman who went through similar circumstances, it helped validate my feelings. A great read. Highly recommend.
