Hello! I am very excited to be in a community of such amazing women 😀 My name is Trish, I just turned 59 yesterday, and I have 4 young adult children ages 19-31. My 19 yr old lives with me. My 50th decade has brought many upheavals and changes: a marriage and divorce to my 2nd husband - my 1st husband and father of my children and I divorced in 2010, and he passed away in 2017. Both marriages were tough and abusive. I realized I needed to take care of me, so I've been on an intense journey of self-discovery for about 6 years. I went back to school and earned a PhD in Psychology - graduated last year. Went to Nepal last summer for a month and earned a yoga teaching certificate, and now just finished my first year teaching college psych courses. My background is in Gerontology, so I teach courses on aging. I've been a chronic sufferer of low self-esteem, so I feel as though I need to constantly add more education or certifications to my cv, but in reality I know what I need to do is take my experience and apply it and share it. That's why I'm here. Starting a business on mindful aging has been burning in my gut for way too long, and I need direction and community. So glad to be here :)
