just Two Dads & A Founder/Executive Director | We Are Brave Together
January 13, 2021 | Episode 21
In this episode just Two Dads chat with Founder & Executive Director of WE Are Brave Together, Jessica Patay.
Jessica Patay is a mother, wife, and advocate/cheerleader for Special Needs Mothers. She has been married to her husband, Chris, for 23 years and they reside in the Palos Verdes area of Southern California. They have two sons and a daughter, all teenagers. Their second son, age 17, was born with a rare, medically complex genetic disorder, called Prader-Willi syndrome.
Because Jessica is passionate about serving, mentoring, and inspiring other Special Needs Moms, she launched and leads a non- profit organization called We Are Brave Together. WABT provides resources, respite, support groups, mentoring and inspiration for moms caring for children or adult children, any age, with any diagnosis, disability or challenge. She believes in the power of gathering to empower, strengthen and uplift moms in their unique, diverse and difficult journeys. WABT offers support groups, workshops, retreats and inspirational events. (During this quarantine, WABT is offering Zoom Support Group meetings. Jessica Patay is the host of Brave Together podcast, which can be found iTunes and Spotify. You can find out more about WABT at wearebravetogether.com and see their resourceful and inspirational posts on Instagram @wearebravetogether.
Jessica Patay has always been a lover of words, ever since 2nd grade when she declared she wanted to be a famous “arthur.” She has been blogging (off & on) since 2012 for moms and Special Needs Moms. Her superpower is her honesty in truth- telling from the trenches of Motherhood. She is a three-time alumnus with Expressing Motherhood, a stage show of storytellers and performers all sharing stories about motherhood.
Two of Jessica’s favorite quotes are:
"This is the power of gathering; it inspires us delightfully, to be more hopeful, more joyful, more thoughtful: In a word, more alive" --Alice Waters
"Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around." --Leo Buscaglia
