Trish went back to school to get a real teaching credential and eventually gave workshops to support other teachers in creating super-charged writing programs. After 23 years in the classroom, Trish went home to spend more time with her adolescent daughters—and to launch her writing career.

After being married to the love of her life for 33 years, her husband passed away and she suddenly went from the perfect plus one to just one.

She saw how the world caters to the young while the message of ageism causes so many not to realize their best days are ahead. She personally experienced the journey of being happily married to widowed and suddenly single - and its ups and downs. She had to wrestle with the difficult decision to put herself out there again and quickly realized how dating today has changed. It was then she realized the importance of helping others going through a similar journey - and True Love Knots was born. As a featured speaker, Maria shares her story to inspire those later in life to make the most of their wisdom and experience while looking for the right partner. When she’s not busy connecting with her audiences, Maria loves being home, spending time with her rescue Great Dane, cooking, and making memories with her family and friends.

Amanda's career started with managing a small Elderhostel program in New Hampshire and she never looked back. She has worked in home health, mental health, and as a professional guardian. She has a particular interest in how to age with purpose, health, and meaning and is always seeking articles and research related to those subjects. Amanda is an avid hiker and world traveler, and enjoys spending time with her parents and the rest of her family and friends in the Salt Lake City area. As a child, Leslie Eckford spent many hours with her great-aunt, her great-uncle and her grandmother who lived together in the same house as they aged. With these family role models, aging in place and living at home with care seemed a natural and sensible solution for growing old with dignity. In her 30 year career as a social worker and RN, Leslie gravitated toward geriatrics and mental health. She has worked in geriatric and adult psychiatric inpatient hospitals, home health and in community mental health for those 55 and older. As a sandwich generation daughter and mother, she has managed the home care for her own aging parents in another state while raising her 2 children. Her professional experiences and her role as a family caregiver combine to provide a unique perspective for approaching and solving issues in home care. In Aging with Care, Leslie and her co-author Amanda Lambert are able to guide readers to make informed decisions for an often challenging part of family life. Website: www.mindfulaging.com

The instant you become a parent, responsible for another life, you know you're in over your head. Parenting is a crash course in resilience, and most of us land flat on our backs wondering how – or if – we'll ever get up again. In Seven Secrets of Resilience for Parents: Navigating the Stress of Parenthood, Mental Toughness Coach Andrew Wittman brings his signature insight to redefine what it means to be a successful parent. Within the pages of this book, you'll learn how to: •go from being an emotional reactor to a reasonable responder •guide your child through the stressors of peer pressure, cliques, bullies and backstabbers •steer through the pitfalls of dealing with rivalries: sibling, frenemies and even dueling sets of grandparents •create harmony in the home so that it becomes a sanctuary from stress not a cause of it •maintain your poise and calm, and smoothly sail through even the most heated arguments with your child •stop flying off the handle and keep your composure and dignity while correcting your child's behavior •create and sustain a balance of the job, finances, sleep, nutrition, and parenting When kids see their parents model these behaviors, they follow in their footsteps and become balanced and well-rounded. Both parents and kids discover their authentic selves in the process. We've all heard that kids are resilient. But what about the parents? After reading Seven Secrets of Resilience for Parents, the eyes will be off the kids and on you as you boost your own abilities to handle stress, conflict and the everyday challenges of life with kids.
