Patricia Sprague is an author, a speaker, and a consultant from Cape Cod. She grew up in a big family. She has been divorced and, as a result, has been a single mother to four children for nearly 20 years. Patricia has been through many obstacles in her life that have challenged her, knocked her down, and left her feeling empty, confused, scared and lonely.

Patricia believes that her journey has brought her to her true passion. Her goal is to help women realize they are not alone and to teach them how to believe in who they are and to be confident that they will be okay and that they are stronger than anything that can happen to them. Patricia believes that the most important relationship that you build is the one you build with yourself. Once you are okay, everything else seems to fall into place.
