Today we’d like to introduce you to Judith Patino-Rodrigue
Hi Judith, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
I’m a storyteller with a purpose. I passionately blend real-life anecdotes with transformative lessons on self-belief and resilience. I was born in the Dominican Republic and draw from my Dominican heritage to inspire my followers and readers to embrace life’s challenges and unlock their full potential.
I am a certified goals success coach, a personal development trainer, and an author. My latest book, “Steer and Maneuver: Navigating Life’s Speed Bumps with a Wink and a Wiggle,” offers a lighthearted yet practical guide to tackling life’s everyday challenges with optimism and humor. I emphasize that attitude is everything and show readers how to steer through life with humor, positivity, and purpose. S “teer and Maneuver” is also available in Spanish under the title “Dirige y Maniobra: Navengado los baches de la vida con un griño y un contoneo.”
My earlier works include Golden Cot (Cuna de Oro in Spanish), a heartfelt exploration of abundance and self-discovery, and my children’s series, Tales of The Estates, which combines real-life experiences with imaginative storytelling to captivate young minds.
My philosophy centers on believing in yourself and accepting who you are, paving the way to inner peace and personal growth. Through my books, teachings, and coaching, I aim to inspire my audience to cultivate resilience, unlock their potential, and navigate life’s twists and turns with grace and determination.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
The road hasn’t always been smooth. The challenges I’ve faced—misfortunes of growing up without parents, mistakes made as a young adult, and challenging experiences from both childhood and adulthood—have played a crucial role in shaping who I am today.
I wasn’t always this strong, determined, and compassionate. It took significant personal growth, attitude shifts, and countless hours of study, reading, and reflection to become the confident, enterprising woman I am now. Each struggle became a stepping stone, guiding me toward resilience, success, and a more profound sense of self.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
I’m a mother, wife, grandmother, business owner, author, motivational speaker, certified professional life and goals instructor, and training and development specialist. I thrive on helping individuals reach their goals through proven processes and practices, whether guiding clients toward solutions or assisting individuals to identify and articulate their dreams to foster personal growth and achieve higher success.
Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of coaching people from all walks of life—those excelling at the top of their game and those navigating through their darkest moments. This journey has deepened my belief that attitude defines who we are. It may seem like a simple truth, but I’ve witnessed firsthand how easy it is for negativity to seep in and dim the brightest of dreams.
My mission is to equip individuals with the tools they need to cultivate and embrace a “winning attitude”—a mindset shift that leads to greater prosperity, joy, and fulfillment. I build confidence in audiences of all ages, empowering them to reflect on their true selves and strengthen their growth, whether financial, spiritual, or professional.
Beyond my passion for personal development, I am also the co-owner of J’s Waterproofing—a reputable, family-owned caulking and waterproofing company founded by my husband, John, and me eight years ago. Alongside our oldest son, Julian, and nephew, Nick, we take pride in delivering quality workmanship and attention to detail from start to finish. Our family business is a testament to the values of dedication, integrity, and hard work that drive everything I do.
I take immense pride in the growth of our family business, my books, and the opportunity to inspire and uplift others through both personal coaching and entrepreneurial endeavors. What sets me apart is my belief that transformation begins with a mindset. By blending personal experiences, professional expertise, and family values, I guide others to build stronger, more fulfilling lives.
We love surprises, fun facts and unexpected stories. Is there something you can share that might surprise us?
Most people know me as a coach, author, and business owner, but what they might not know is that I’m an early riser who does my best brainstorming at 4 AM—usually while meditating. When I’m not working or writing, I find joy in playing golf with my hubby and feeding the squirrels and birds in my backyard. It’s my little way of staying connected to nature and finding peace in the simple things. And when it’s time to clean the house, you’ll find me dancing to the rhythm of salsa or merengue!
