EP. 70 – Your Body, Your Sanctuary w/ Pejay Lucky | The Patty Show

Your body is the first home you ever live in — and how you treat it shapes your confidence, leadership, and sense of purpose. In this powerful and personal episode, Patty reconnects with Pejay Lucky, a longtime mentor and foundational figure from his college years. Pejay played a major role in Patty’s development during his time in residence life and student leadership, offering guidance during pivotal moments of growth, heartbreak, and self-discovery. Together, they reflect on their work with Distinguished Gentlemen, a student organization centered on healthy masculinity through three core pillars: Justice, Unity, and Discipline. From the Annual Women’s Appreciation Dinner to domestic violence awareness initiatives and leadership programming, they discuss how those experiences shaped their values and continue to influence their lives today. Pejay shares his evolution toward treating the body not as something to punish or “fix,” but as a sanctuary — a place deserving of care, gratitude, and discipline rooted in love rather than shame. The conversation expands into faith, resilience, identity, and what it means to lead with integrity. Now serving as Assistant Dean for Student Success at Fairfield University’s Bellarmine Campus, Pejay also speaks about his work mentoring students and his growing initiative focused on guiding men toward purpose, accountability, and wholeness. He opens up about fatherhood, marriage, community building in Bridgeport, Connecticut, and the role faith in Christ plays in his life. Topics include: Healthy masculinity and leadership Faith, discipline, and self-respect Navigating heartbreak and personal growth Body gratitude and self-care Mentorship, education, and legacy This episode is a reminder that strength isn’t just physical — it’s emotional, spiritual, and lived out daily through how we care for ourselves and others. 👇 Join the Patty Party & connect with me: @pattyshowpodcast | @pattysetiadifitness #YourBodyYourSanctuary #HealthyMasculinity #Mentorship #FaithAndWellness #LeadershipDevelopment #SelfRespect #ThePattyShow
