Lorrine Patterson: Freeing Your Heart for (Self) Love

Content warning: childhood abuse, abusive relationships, suicidal ideations, sexual content
In today's episode I'm excited to bring you this conversation with Lorrine Patterson who shares her story about how she recovered from childhood abuse and a series of marriages and relationships that were not the love-based partnership she desired. We talk about her rock bottom when she was 42 and what steps she took to rebuild her life which ultimately led her to finding the love of her life on Tinder. There is a lovely happy ending to her story and I know this episode may help anyone out there who is struggling with relationships. 
About Lorrine:
Lorrine Patterson was born in Guam but never got to experience that version of island life. Her family moved to Oahu, Hawaii when she was only a few months old and they stayed there until Lorrine turned 12. After watching her parents divorce, she moved to California with her mother. These experiences during her formative years helped create a lasting sense of wonder combined with curiosity for the world around her.
Lorrine earned her BS in Business Management and an MBA from the University of Phoenix. She has worked in the hotel industry, property management, and facilities management and specializes in customer service. Passionate about all she does, Lorrine stewed over the idea of writing a book for the better part of a decade. It wasn’t until the realities of pandemic life in 2020 took hold that she decided it was finally time to put pen to paper. Through the suffering and troubling times Lorrine finally discovered her true passion and purpose in life, bringing some goodness to a world in need.
Her first book, Freeing Your Heart For Love is a memoir. Lorrine is a simple woman who believes everything happens for a reason and, even if we aren’t meant to understand why, we are all guided to the right place at the right time. Armed with this theory, she approaches each new day with a contagious enthusiasm.
