start taking real steps toward
The one goal
you've been chasing
For the woman who's tired of starting over...
LIFE BY DESIGN
one season · one goal · one step
One Day at a Time
A six-week, faith-inspired live coaching experience
that moves you from feeling stuck to focusing on
one meaningful goal, taking small daily steps, and building steady momentum, with clarity, courage,
and confidence.
Coming 2027
This time, you want to invite God into the journey. You've spent enough years trying harder. You want your dreams, your goals, and your next season to align with your values and His leading, trusting God to multiply it.
You don't want to rely on willpower anymore
Deep down, you want to trust yourself again. You want to begin something, and actually finish it. You're done with the Monday restarts.
You're ready to become the woman who keeps moving forward, one step at a time.
You want to become someone who follows through
Not because everything is perfect,
but because you're moving toward something that matters.
You long to wake up with purpose: a meaningful goal, a simple plan, and the quiet confidence that you're right where God has you.
You want to feel excited about your life again
What You Really Want
(and haven't been getting)
If you're nodding friend,
I want you to hear this.
It's OK to be stuck...
you just don't have to stay there
The season that once fit no longer does, and that's often where God begins His deepest work.
Not at the finish line. But right here, in the beginning of something new.
This isn't where your story ends
You feel stuck, off, restless, like you've lost your spark
You're living on autopilot, going through the motions
There's a dream you've quietly set aside, but it keeps whispering
You're busy taking care of everyone else while quietly putting your own dreams on hold.
I Know Exactly Where You're at Right Now...
just imagine
you could...
What if in just 6 weeks,
Instead of wondering what to do next, you wake up already knowing. You've chosen one meaningful goal that fits this season, and you're making real progress, not because you're doing more, but because you're living more intentionally.
Coffee in hand, a candle softly flickering, your journal open. A simple morning rhythm and routine that keeps bringing you back to God, and quietly moving you forward, toward your goal, one step at a time.
Not because life suddenly became easy, but because something in you steadied. Your mornings feel different. Your thoughts feel different. You feel different. You realize that your are changing from the inside out
And perhaps the greatest change of all: you no longer see yourself as a woman who starts over, again and again. You see yourself as a woman who follows through, who is gaining momentum and enjoying the process while doing so.
Know your next step
Look forward to every morning
Feel differently on the inside
Follow through one day at a time
How it Works
LIFE BY DESIGN
A Simple daily practice, that brings your faith, your dream, and your everyday life into one gentle rhythm.
one season · one goal · one step · one day at a time
It's more than six weeks of coaching. It's a new way of living.
Introducing
Life by Design isn't a planner or a quick fix. It's a new way of living intentionally...
one season, one step, one day at a time. Built around six simple steps, each week builds on the one before it, so nothing feels overwhelming and every step feels doable.
By the end of six weeks, you won't just have a goal. You'll have a way of living that carries you into your next season, and the next.
A practical and sustainable plan built one day at a time, so progress feels possible instead of overwhelming. Momentum is created daily.
momentum
Renewed confidence. Not because you've become someone different, but because you've become someone who keeps showing up, one day at a time.
confidence
A deeper trust in God, knowing you don't have to carry your dreams alone. You'll learn what it looks like to bring your plans to Him and trust Him with the outcome.
trust
Greater clarity to tell the difference between goals driven by pressure and dreams that align with your values, your purpose, and the season God has you in.
clarity
One meaningful ninety-day goal that fits this season of your life, and the confidence to begin pursuing it.
one meaningful goal
A simple morning rhythm that helps you spend time with God, stay grounded in what matters most, and keep moving forward.
rhythm
Designed to support you, and the goal you're finally ready to move toward.
Not because your other dreams don't matter, but because scattering your energy across everything is exactly what's kept you stuck, spinning your wheels and digging a deeper hole. When you concentrate on one meaningful goal for one season, you finally start to move.
That momentum does more than move you forward, it rebuilds your
confidence, one day at a time.
The Secret is One Goal
You stop running on your own strength and start drawing on His. Because He is your source. Surrender your plans and your next season to God. Gather the strength to keep walking, one day at a time
DEPEND
This is where dreaming becomes daring. Not daring to force it, but daring to believe God for something more. Choose one meaningful goal, not ten. Simplify it until your next step feels clear
DARE
Permission to dream again. Not bigger, not louder, just honestly, including the dreams you quietly set down. Listen for what still stirs your heart. Notice where God may be inviting you.
DREAM
Before we decide where we're going, we gently discover where we are. Without shame, without guilt, without feeling behind. Find your “you are here.” Uncover what's working and what isn't.

Some mornings, you'll simply need another voice reminding you to take heart. This is a private, hand-picked collection of Take Heart episodes, chosen to walk beside each step of your journey. Short, encouraging, and easy to listen to on a walk or in the car, they're like another cup of coffee together, right when you need it most.
A Private Podcast Collection
Life happens, and grace is built into everything here. Every lesson and every live call is recorded and yours to keep, for life. Fall behind, revisit a week that spoke to you, or return to the whole journey a year from now in a brand-new season. It's all here, waiting for you, whenever you need it.
Lifetime Access to Every Lesson & Replay
When our six weeks come to a close, your journey doesn't. As you step into your Destiny and your next season, you're welcomed into the Life Designers Community, our ongoing home for women living this out together. Your first month is included, completely free, so you can keep your momentum going alongside women who understand. Because a life well designed is meant to be lived in good company.
your first month in our Life Designer's Community
A gentle gift for the middle of your journey, and for every season after. This beautiful seven-day devotional is your invitation to slow down, get quiet, and simply be with God, no goals, no pressure, just rest. Light a candle, open its pages, and let it remind you that your pause is not your failure. Sometimes your pause is your preparation.
THE 7-DAY SACRED PAUSE DEVOTIONAL
I know what it feels like to hesitate over an investment in yourself, especially when you've tried things before that didn't stick. But think about what staying stuck has already cost you. Another year of the same restlessness. Another planner that gathers dust. Another dream quietly set aside. A generic course you buy and never finish leaves you right where you started, only more discouraged.
And about that price
This is a guided journey with real teaching, real coaching, and real women walking beside you, built for exactly where you are right now. If you're ready for real momentum, not another fresh start, I'd love to walk beside you.
This is not That
I created Life by Design because I needed it myself. Not another planner, not another program that promises the world and leaves you more discouraged. Just a gentle, faith-filled way to begin again, one season, one step, one day at a time.
I'm the founder of Take Heart, a Certified Christian Life Coach, and the host of the Take Heart with Pati P podcast. For over forty years I've walked with God, and for more than thirty of those I led worship. I raised three children, ran a photography business for seventeen years, and walked through more seasons of loss and rebuilding than I ever expected.
Life by Design Mentor
And here's what I know for certain, because I've lived it: God is not done with you yet.
Sounds amazing, right?
You'll leave with clarity, confidence, and a rhythm built to last, not just another thing you started and quietly set aside.
Life by Design is designed to work with you, not against you, meeting you exactly where you are and moving at a pace you can sustain.
This isn't another course you'll start and abandon. You'll actually finish, because it's built around doing the work with support, not just watching lessons alone.
Why You Won't Regret this
You won't fall behind, because there's no behind to fall. Every lesson and every call is recorded and yours for life. Life happens, and this program is built with grace for real life. The Sacred Pause week in the middle is there for exactly this reason: room to breathe and catch up.
what if i fall behined?
That's exactly what the first steps are for. You won't be asked to have it all figured out on day one. We'll gently discover where you are, give you permission to dream again, and then help you choose one meaningful goal that fits this season. Many women arrive not knowing, and leave with beautiful clarity.
what if i don't know my own goal yet?
Less than you might think. There's a short lesson each week to work through at your own pace, and a live coaching call on Thursdays at noon EST, about an hour, always recorded in case you can't make it live. Midway through you'll have a Sacred Pause week, a gentle break to rest and catch up. The daily rhythm is gentle: a few quiet minutes each morning with your journal.
how much time will this take?
Not at all. This is a faith-filled space, and I'll always point you toward God as your source and strength. But you don't need to have it all together spiritually, or use the right words, or be at any particular place in your walk. You just need an open heart. Come as you are.
do i have to be super religious?
Our founding round begins Thursday, September 10, 2026. Lessons are released on Mondays, and our live calls are Thursdays at noon EST. The program runs six weeks, with a Sacred Pause week built into the middle so you never feel rushed, and everything wraps up by the second week of December. You'll have lifetime access to all the replays.
what are the key dates?
Most programs hand you lessons and leave you to watch alone. Life by Design is built around doing the work with support. You'll focus on one meaningful goal, take one step at a time, and have live coaching and a community walking beside you. It's less about information and more about transformation.
how is this different from any other program?
Have Questions? I've got answers.
More clarity. More purpose. More peace.
Friend, it's time to step into your next season.
Not by starting over one more time, but by taking one real step, and then another.
So choose courage. Trust the process. God is not finished with you yet.
Join us as one of the founding members of Life by Design.
Because your next season is just beginning.
