Trish Kimble - Choose your attitude, change your life

Send us Fan MailWhat if the most complex parts of your story became the strongest parts of your future? We sit down with writer, coach, and mentor Trish Kimble to explore resilience that’s earned, not imagined, from a childhood marked by loss to parenting through addiction, then rebuilding with a clear mindset and a practical plan. Trish shares how she created a “wall of resilience” to contain grief without shutting out life, and how choosing an opportunistic attitude, backed by daily gratitude, set the stage for lasting change.When COVID-19 cancelled her brand-new speaking calendar, Trish pivoted quickly, turning decades of executive administrative and bookkeeping experience into a thriving virtual assistant business. She breaks down why niching beats being a generalist, how to think like a client to win better work, and when to outsource instead of burning hours on DIY. We also delve into her training programs, ranging from a self-paced start-up path to next-level coaching that helps assistants transition into executive roles or scale their freelance services with clarity and confidence.The conversation expands into Ageless Thriving, a program designed for women aged 55+ who feel invisible or stalled after experiencing health changes, grief, or significant life transitions. Trish makes the case for connection and movement as non-negotiables, offering simple ways to reconnect: join a networking group, build a routine, and let community replace isolation. Along the way, we honour the practical wisdom women accumulate over a lifetime, and how to turn it into meaningful work, mentorship, and everyday purpose.If you’re craving a reset, this is your roadmap: choose your attitude, practice gratitude, niche your strengths, and show up where people expect you.
