About the show
Awakening disguised as a sincere conversation.
Hosted by author, trusted advisor, strategist and truth-teller Patty Elvey, Risk to Become™ explores the defining moments when something within us begins to stir: a restlessness, a disruption, a desire, or the undeniable sense that the life we are living no longer reflects who we are becoming.
What is waiting to awaken within you, and what will you risk to become it?
Every day, you are becoming someone. The question is whether you are choosing who, or letting fear, history, expectations and circumstance choose for you.
Each episode is a call to become more honest about who you are, more discerning about what you want, and more courageous about the choices required to claim it.
These moments are not interruptions.
They are invitations.
Episodes
Each week
The conversations we spend our lives avoiding.
Each week, Patty goes where most conversations won’t. Why do we say we want change while protecting what keeps us stuck? Why do we call ourselves comfortable, when the truth is we are not comfortable with who we are?
What does fear choose for us when we refuse to choose for ourselves?
How do we know when we have outgrown an identity, a relationship, a role or a definition of success?
What happens when the truth we have been avoiding becomes impossible to ignore?
At the center of every conversation
What do you want?
Not what you should want.
Not what keeps everyone else comfortable.
Not what looks acceptable, impressive or safe.
What do you truly want?
Your host
Awakening is not passive.
Drawing on business leadership, philanthropy, degrees in Spiritual Science and Spiritual Psychology, and decades beside people at pivotal crossroads, Patty brings practical wisdom and intuitive insight to every conversation. Awareness may open the door, but choice is what carries us through it.
Patty doesn’t tell anyone who to become. Through revealing conversations, unexpected questions and authentic stories, she helps people hear their own voice beneath the noise, and recognize the choices that have been waiting for them.
On becoming
Becoming is not a performance. It is not a perfect plan, a polished identity or a final destination.
Becoming is a living practice, sacredly and uniquely yours.
It asks for courage, honesty, intention and integrity, and the willingness to renegotiate with life as clarity emerges.
The default risk
Playing it safe is simply a different risk.
Risk to Become™ challenges the belief that safety is found in staying where we are. Playing it safe doesn’t eliminate risk. It trades one risk for another: the default risk of becoming someone you never consciously chose to be.
THISis where “default” ceases to run the show.
THISis where awakening becomes action.
THISis where authenticity becomes authority.
THISis where “someday” becomes a priority.
THISis where the life you believe you want asks whether you are willing to become the person who will live it.
You are already becoming
Will you be the one who chooses?
Risk to Become™ is for anyone standing at the edge of what comes next: leaders navigating profound change, visionaries answering a larger calling, people redefining success, and anyone ready to stop watching their best life from the sidelines.
Awaken to who you are. Decide what you want. Take the risk to become it.
