For a Good Time

“Patty Tierney has a gift for sharing her life and the lessons she has learned as a woman, mother, and daughter. For those seeking to practice compassion, forgiveness, and healing of old childhood traumas, Patty shares her very personal journey that takes you to the darkest places, and then returns you to the light. Patty is an inspiration to any parent who wasn’t always good enough and is still striving to be better. She is a testament to the idea that the truth will set you free.”—Jamye Waxman, LMFT, MEd, marriage and family therapist, sex educator, and author

Patty Tierney worked as a prostitute to support her three children for seventeen years. After getting sober at forty-six years old, her life began to change, and she eventually began a career in caregiving. In 2005 she started her first caregiving company, which she successfully ran for ten years before selling it and shifting her focus to being a private caregiver.

Patty and her husband, John, together host retreats called Transform with the Tierneys, through which they provide a safe space for people to share their stories and practice self-love, acceptance, and forgiveness.

Today, Patty’s three adult children are thriving and successful, and she adores her three grandchildren. She and John live happily in Encino, California; they are best friends, and they love being together. When she’s not caregiving, hosting Transform, or spending time with family, Patty keeps herself busy with her passion for writing.
