Your dream life doesn’t have to be perfect.It just has to be in progress.
This week on The Patty Show, Patty sits down with relationship wellness leader Ashida Onrae for a conversation about building a fulfilling life and healthy relationships before making one of the biggest commitments of all—marriage.
Ashida is the Founder and CEO of The Marriage Movement, a platform dedicated to helping couples develop the emotional tools, communication skills, and self-awareness needed for lasting partnerships. Through her speaking, seminars, and her book The Top 8 Questions Every Woman Should Ask Herself Before Saying I Do, she encourages people to look inward first—because strong relationships start with personal accountability.
But Patty and Ashida’s connection actually began somewhere unexpected: the gym. What started as training sessions quickly turned into deeper conversations about dating, travel, personal growth, and building a life filled with intention and joy.
In this episode, they explore:
• Why your “paradise” can be a work in progress• The inner work required before committing to marriage• Embracing trial and error while building your dream life• Finding pleasure in the journey instead of chasing perfection• Daily rituals that help cultivate gratitude and positivity
Ashida brings humor, honesty, and wisdom to the conversation, reminding us that meaningful relationships aren’t built overnight—they’re built through self-awareness, growth, and intentional choices.
Because before you say “I do”…you should know who you’re becoming.

Rest isn’t weakness.It’s strategy.
This week on The Patty Show, Patty sits down with Indonesian filmmaker and cinematographer Joyfiana Venessa Suryakusuma for a thoughtful, culture-rich conversation about reclaiming rest in a world obsessed with hustle.
Joy directed and wrote the short film Patty starred in — portraying a 60+ retired workaholic lawyer delivering heartbreaking news to his equally driven daughter, symbolized through klepon, the beloved Indonesian sweet. The experience was layered, emotional, and deeply personal — blending storytelling, heritage, and healing.
Beyond that project, Joy represents a new generation of filmmakers: intentional, grounded, and unafraid to move at a sustainable pace. Her approach to cinema challenges the myth that burnout equals ambition.
In this episode, we explore:
• How purposeful rest fuels creative growth• Resetting in order to rise• Making rest restorative — not guilt-ridden• Breaking free from hustle culture narratives• The affirmation that reminds you to slow down
From film sets to cultural identity to redefining productivity, this conversation is both insightful and refreshingly human.
Because sometimes the most powerful move you can make…is pausing.
If you’ve been pushing nonstop, this episode is your reminder that sustainability creates longevity — in art, in business, and in life.

Consistency builds confidence.
We dive into:
• The one daily practice that changed everything• How showing up deepens your passion• Making routines something you actually enjoy• Recovering from slip-ups without losing momentum• Why self-trust is the ultimate superpower
From testing AI models to crafting animated stories, Phillip embodies creative discipline in action. And with a stylized, artist-edited version of this episode in the works, this conversation lives at the intersection of technology and imagination.
