Sole Journey

She crossed oceans looking for somewhere to belong. The hardest journey was learning to trust herself.

A chance move to New York. A home once owned by John Lennon. A return to Sydney with no job waiting. Patricia Lavelle embraced the unexpected, yet beneath the adventure lay a familiar feeling: everyone else was moving forward, and she was still catching up.

When trauma and a diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis changed her course, she left a corporate career and began again. But a new direction meant confronting old patterns and standing by her choices when others didn’t understand.

Retraining in reflexology opened a new chapter, helping others while learning to listen to herself. Through love, loss and unexpected beginnings, she kept following her intuition, without knowing where it would lead.

Sole Journey is a candid memoir of adventure, intuition and reinvention. When love brought her back to her hometown after twenty-six years away, Patricia began to see her life differently.

What if she had never been behind, but had simply taken the road less travelled?
