About this episode

Jade Patronis shares her journey of reinvention and the importance of faith in living a fulfilling life.

What if the secret to a happy life isn't just about the highlight reel, but about the depth you build during the "late bloomer" seasons? This week, I am bringing you a very special Happy Ass Encore episode because y'all loved her so much the first time, and she is just too precious not to share again.

We swap stories about our shared "prissy girl" love for looking adorable (even just for ourselves!), the legacy of the women who came before us, and why we are both choosing to kick aging’s butt every single day. From her days traveling the world with the USO to the spiritual discipline of waking up with a "thank you" on her lips, Jade reminds us that while beauty might only last three days, the way you treat people lasts a lifetime.
