Trisha Gudka is a Happiness coach….but, she wasn't always happy. No, ladies, when Trisha reached 40, the age where many of us groan feeling that life is half over, Trisha sighed that she was ONLY 40 and couldn't believe how many more years of life she would have to endure. Like many women in midlife, Trisha had suffered her fair share of trauma over the years that included sexual abuse and even assault that sent her into a depression in her late 20’s.  She was 42 when she decided to reclaim her life. The truth is it took many years before she even realized that she needed help. 

You may know what that's like ladies….It's like you're going through the motions of your life and you gradually lose your happiness without even realizing it until one day you can’t find a real smile or a genuine laugh. Trisha came to realize that every day brought with it a growing feeling of emptiness. She was surrounded by people but felt completely alone. She knew she had to find a way out!  Thankfully, Trisha was able to overcome depression one day at a time with guidance from doctors and self-perserverance and now helps women to overcome depression using the system that worked for her. She provides actionable exercises and strategies to fall in love with exactly who you are - mind and body, so that her clients can live happy and fulfilled lives.

In today's episode, Trisha teaches us:

1. Know your "why" healing is a journey and knowing your why will give you the drive to persevere
2. Be responsible for your own happiness. Your significant other, your children and others around you are not.
3. Always look for the other story you can tell about any situation
4. Embrace the small moments…happiness is not a destination. It lives in these small moments accumulated over time.
5. Every day write down one thing you are grateful for about life and one thing you are grateful for about yourself
