Steel Reserve with Trish Steele

from The Measuring Post · host Joe Massa

Trish Steele joins The Measuring Post to share her seven-decade journey from childhood trauma to becoming one of the most recognized advocates for domestic violence survivors in the country. After losing her father as a young girl, losing 70% of her hearing at age five, and enduring years of abuse from her stepfather, Trish built a life defined by resilience, not victimhood. She went on to fulfill her childhood dream of working in the entertainment industry as a beauty consultant before a violent encounter with her fiance became the catalyst for founding Safe Passage Heals, a nonprofit that connects domestic violence survivors with pro bono plastic surgeons, dentists, and doctors to repair the physical scars of abuse. Recognized by Presidents Obama and Trump and featured on CBS, Fox, and The Doctors, Trish later launched Women of Steel alongside her daughters Shawna and Michelle, a mentorship movement built on three pillars: strong, spiritual, and sensational. Now in her seventies, she runs women's retreats across California and coaches women through what she calls "mindset renewal," proving there's no expiration date on reinvention.#mindset #themeasuringpost #domesticviolenceawareness #survivor
