Barrett All is a hilarious newsletter about trauma.

It’s where we learn to LIVE, LAUGH & LOVE our lives — one unhinged, soul-baring story at a time. If you love humor with heart and the kind of deep talk that would make Brené Brown say “Y’all”, then you’re in the right place.

💌 Subscribe if you:

• Love to laugh and often ask yourself, “wtf am I doing with my life?”

• Want to read something that feels like a voice note from your funny but socially awkward friend

• Believe personal growth is best served with a side of lol jkjkjkjkjk

👋 Who am I?
I’m Patty Barrett—a comedian, writer, facilitator and leadership / well-being coach who is passionate about helping people get their shit together, despite not totally having my own shit together. But I’m really, really trying and hopefully helping others along the way.

I grew up in an Irish Catholic Bostonian family where I spent a lot of time walking on eggshells and wearing an oversized Gap sweatsuit to hide my body. I was diagnosed with depression in 2004, anxiety in 2014, and ADHD in 2024. (I love to “joke” that I get diagnosed with a new mental illness every year… and I’m not kidding!)

I’m pro-medication, and it has helped, but not nearly as much as putting the work in through therapy, coaching, self-help, performing, writing, habit overhauls, and lifestyle changes. I have been actively studying the science of happiness for seven years, trying new things and sharing my success along the way.

Barrett All is my space for… baring it all, sharing the lessons I’ve learned and the ones I’m still very much learning.
