Woman in the News, Ms. Peggy Kligman

It’s never too early or too late to live your dreams…

I am so pleased to have the opportunity to share Ms. Peggy Kligman’s inspirational story. So often when I ask women, particularly in this economy, if they love their life and what they are doing they say “I don’t like it but what else would I do? I’ve done fill in the blank forever.”  Here’s a beautiful example of Getting Your Year in Gear, (excuse the shameless self promotion). Through her experience of overcoming Ms. Kligman has found a very unique and FUN way to help other women.

Here’s her story from her website:

Grandma Pandoshus aka Peggy Kligman is the creator of the Goat Game.


After three failed marriages and several dysfunctional (and sometimes abusive) relationships, Peggy Kligman aka “Grandma Pandoshus” was desperately in need of dating rehab.  In 2004, after proclaiming … “no more relationships for me”… Peggy took a break from relationships to resolve her past by inventing the Goat Game.  “It’s fun and playful and it worked for me.  Through the goat characters (similar to human behavior) I was able to recognize why I exhibited self-destructive behaviors and made poor choices.   As a result of this awakening, today I am able to enjoy a healthy and loving relationship.”


Once Peggy broke free from her past of heartaches, she soon thereafter embarked on her newly discovered joyful single lifestyle.  She announced, “If this game can help someone like me, then I must share it with others in need of dating rehab.”  Subsequent to test-marketing the game throughout the Texas region while exhibiting her game at counselor’s conventions, Peggy was delighted to discover others were quickly recognizing the benefits of the Goat Game.  Now, Peggy has launched her game online so that everyone can play and it’s free!  (www.thegoatgame.com)


Peggy goes by the moniker Grandma Pandoshus.  When asked why she goes by the name “Pandoshus”, she responds, “My grandmother Doshie was a shining light during my dreadfully dark past!  She was a woman of strength who prevailed from a baaad marriage by leaving her abusive husband and, with her integrity intact, single-handedly reared five happy and well adjusted children.  Imagine her courage especially during the early 1900s!”  She adds, “Pan—the playful half-man half-goat mythology character—along with the derivative of my grandmother Doshie is why I chose Pandoshus as the voice of the Goat Game.”   


Peggy is also a motivational speaker and the author of “Wisdom2Win”, an empowerment handbook which guides the reader on how to stop the whining and be the winner.  She lives in the El Paso, Texas region and speaks to audiences on the subject matter of empowering oneself to live to their fullest potential.  She facilitates Goat Game Gatherings to singles’ groups throughout the nation.  To learn more about Peggy, visit www.wisdom2win.com.  To play the Goat Game online or to purchase your own game, visit: www.thegoatgame.com
