Today we’re excited to be connecting with Patrice May again. If you haven’t already, we suggest you check out our prior conversation with them here.
Patrice, we are so thrilled to be connecting again and can’t wait to hear about all the amazing things you have been up to. Before we jump into all of that, some of our readers might have missed our prior interview, so can you take a moment to reintroduce yourself?
I’m Dr. Patrice, your friendly, fashionable, faith-filled Lifestyle Strategist—your go-to coach and unwavering supporter who truly believes in *you* and the dreams you hold dear. With a passion for empowering others to reach their highest potential, I specialize in guiding individuals to walk confidently in their God-given gifts and talents.
My journey into this fulfilling path began when I created a mentorship program for teens, teaching them to value themselves and embrace their worth. That experience lit a fire within me to help people from all walks of life recognize their potential and live purposefully.
What sets me apart? I bring a unique blend of fun, passion, and boutique-style services to the table. My coaching is both dynamic and faith-driven, offering you a personalized and transformative experience that aligns with your goals. I help others strategize for success but also celebrate every milestone along the way.
as your coach, you’ll find a compassionate partner, a cheerleader for your vision, and a strategist to help you unlock the life you’ve been called to live making your dreams a reality—stylishly, purposefully, and with faith leading the way.
Alright, so our main goal today is to give our audience an update on what you have been up to since our last conversation. We’d love to hear how things are going and what you are most looking forward to or excited about these days.
What a whirlwind the last few years have been! At one point, I had to face a hard truth: while everything on the surface seemed to be going well, deep down, I was moving forward with a broken heart. Shattered dreams, lost relationships, and moments of deep sadness were silently woven into my story—even as I achieved a measure of success.
But here’s the beautiful part. In that brokenness, I found something far greater. I realized that being weak is the best place to be because it opens the door for God’s strength to shine. His promise is clear: *“My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.”* (2 Corinthians 12:9) And let me tell you, that truth brings a smile to my face and warms my heart every single time.
Everything I’ve accomplished is a testament to God’s hand on my life. His grace has allowed me to share heartfelt prayers on YouTube, lead monthly prayer sessions on Facebook, and host uplifting interviews with business owners through *The Be Inspired Lifestyle Show*, a vision God planted in my heart back in 2018.
I’m also thrilled to have released books that speak to the heart of faith and leadership: *Ezra and Uzziah*, a Bible study designed to help us avoid the pitfalls of pride by embracing a humble spirit that influences others for Christ, and *The Prayer Principles for Entrepreneurs*, a collaboration with business leaders who’ve prayed powerfully and effectively to build businesses rooted in Godly principles.
As I step into this new year, my heart is bursting with excitement to launch “The Living Room”—a space where ladies are safe to discover and walk boldly in the purpose God created them for. It’s time to move out of the shadows of darkness and shine so brightly that people see God’s light radiating through us.
I’m living proof that even in brokenness, God’s grace brings beauty, strength, and purpose. And I can’t wait to share this journey with others who are ready to experience His transforming power in their lives. Let’s shine together! 🌟

What do you want people to remember about you and your brand? What are some of things that you feel are most important, unique, special, etc?
When people think of me and my brand, I want them to remember this: faith and fun are not only meant to coexist, but they can ignite a life of purpose and joy. I want to inspire others to embrace a life that’s rooted in faith—where kindness, humility, and love for all people are not just ideals but everyday actions.
At the heart of it all, I want people to remember to serve God fully. And serving God isn’t just about attending church or reading the Bible (though those are vital); it’s about leaning into the unique gifts, talents, and purpose He’s placed inside each of us. When we live the way we were created to, we honor Him in the most authentic way possible.
As for what’s most important to me? It’s simple: fulfilling purpose. I believe life is too precious to live outside of the calling God has placed on our lives. We weren’t created to merely exist but to thrive, to love, to serve, and to make an impact in a way that only *we* can. That means doing what we love and were designed to do—whether it’s building a business, raising a family, creating art, or mentoring others.
For me, fulfilling purpose is a joyful journey. It’s about infusing fun into the process, celebrating every victory, big or small, and remembering that even the challenges are opportunities to grow closer to God and discover more about who He’s created us to be.
When people encounter my brand, I want them to walk away inspired to live with bold faith, radiant joy, and unwavering confidence in who they are in Christ. I hope they see that life doesn’t have to be perfect to be beautiful and that when they trust God’s plan, they can live a life overflowing with purpose, kindness, and light.
