Rebuilding from the Ashes with T.K. Banner  A professor, motivational speaker, and best-selling author, Terri Banner Fitzsimmons (T.K.) has been in the field of education most of her adult life as a teacher of all grades and a Sociology Professor for twenty years.  Knowing first-hand how hard it is to return to school, T.K. has also served as director of an Independent Study Program, helping adults earn their diplomas, just like she did.  However, in 2018, T.K. faced the ultimate catastrophe when a massive wildfire raged through Paradise, California, the town she lived in, and she lost everything she had, including her identity.  Devastated but thankful to have survived, T.K. was inspired to put pen to paper and wrote about her incredible journey of hope and recovery in "Phoenix Rising from the Ashes."  She would write one more book about the ordeal and give countless interviews about her ordeal.    Now residing near Palm Springs, California, Terri is thriving in retirement and continues to write.  Her latest book, "Best Friends," is a compelling story of two friends on opposite sides of the country who fight for justice and is also her first attempt at writing a historical novel.  She also spends her days continuing to counsel women to help them achieve their passion in life.  Her goal is to help women break free of all the doubts they cling to that stop them from recognizing their worth.  Listen in as T.K. and I talk about educating others to pursue their goals and how losing everything helped her find her true purpose and way to FEARLESS HAPPYNESS!
