About Patty


Growing up, my mom made these fabulous cookies. The whole house smelled good, the cookies were warm and gooey - I mean these were seriously good cookies - and my entire life, I watched my mom eat the broken cookies.


It wasn't until I was a teenager that I finally thought to ask, “Mom, why do you only eat the broken cookies? Do they taste better?” She just laughed and said, “No, I eat the broken cookies so you can have the whole ones!”


Not too long ago, I came across a shocking statistic: 62% of women rely on their businesses for their primary income, yet 88% of women-owned businesses generate less than $100,000 in annual revenue. That's when the image of my mom eating the broken cookies popped in my head: that's what we, as women, are doing in our businesses! We eat the broken cookies and everyone else - our clients, our staff, our families - gets the whole cookie.


The Broken Cookie Effect® is what I call this damaging dynamic of underpricing your services, over-delivering for your clients, and sacrificing your profit.


Since 2006, I have worked with women business owners who are experts in their fields, empowering them to generate more revenue with less stress, and work smarter, not harder.
