  • "I tell so many of my friends. Because you know we all bump into struggles, or hard parts, or we are just curious. Get on 1150 because somebody's always touching base to peak your curiosity. You guys are very accessible and very generous with free readings per say. It's your generosity that draws people in and it keeps them close. It's like you're the candle and we are all drawn to your light."

  • "Being on the Dr. Pat show is always a pleasure! Kind of like a free ride on Mr. Toad's wild ride! As a guest, I always feel well considered and Dr. Pat brings out the best of me as well as my books. I highly recommend this show as cutting edge, open to new and different ideas and a whole lot of fun."

  • "I listened to the Kris Steinnes show yesterday. It was really great to hear you speak as a guest. Something you said hit a chord with me (not uncommon when listening to you) you were talking about moving to Seattle and unable to find a job. I moved from PA to the Mystic, CT area in October (I felt strongly I was supposed to come here). I had a job lined up and it fell through. I now clean houses and do some free-lance writing for a local newspaper. Hearing you couldn't find a job right away is giving me hope, so thank you for that! I am grateful that I am working, especially as a writer, which is my true passion. But, I am just a bit stuck at the moment. I left a really good job in PA to come here. I will never forget my first week here. The normally friendly and sunny Long Island Sound had been transformed into a dark and dreary sound and I was questioning my decision to move here. I turned on the radio and was guided to the most amazing station! Transformational Talk Radio was exactly what I needed and I have been listening ever since. I even called in once for a clearing from Deborah Diane. I am still experiencing stumbling blocks, but through meditation and listening to so many light filled hosts on your radio station I am doing okay!!!I just wanted to let you know that you are helping me along my journey!  Peace and Light."  Rose

  • "Dr. Pat's Holistic Makeover is inspiring yet practical. She takes listeners' dreams and turns them into reality through her astute matching of audience members with professional coaches. I had the pleasure of being one of Dr. Pat's coaches for the 2009 Holistic Makeover. I recommend her program to anyone prepared to commit to focused work on themselves so they can live their dreams."
