It's the Your Kickass Life podcast episode number 22.

This is the Your Kickass Life podcast with Andrea Owen, a no BS guide to self-help and badassery.

Because ladies, let's face it, life's too short for it to not kick ass.

And here's your host, the girl who serves it up straight with a side of crazy, Andrea Owen.

Hey there, Ask Kickers. Here we are, Andrea Owen of your kick-ass life. And excited, excited to have a co-host slash guest slash sidekick, whatever you want to call it.

I, you know, in stalking the internet, I am always looking for people that have really

similar, you know, personalities to mine, similar ideas and even similar backgrounds.

And I think I found my twin separated at birth. So I want to introduce to you, Ms. Trish Blackwell. Say hi, Trish. What's up? That's an awesome interview. Introduction. I love it. Hopefully I can live up to that twin status. But we do have a lot in common. It's scary. It is kind of scary. I know. And I know we've been, you and I've been corresponding via email for a few months now. And, you know, and every time I go back to your website and I'm reading your story and I'm reading your about page and I'm like, oh my gosh. And Trish and I just spent the last 20 minutes or so chatting. And it's one of those like, just can't stop talking. Can't stop talking. Exactly. I'm like, I don't need to read. We don't need to do a podcast. Let's just talk. I know. All day. So in lieu of reading your bio, which is sometimes can sound really stuffy and profesh, why don't you introduce yourself to the ask kickers and tell us a little bit about yourself. Awesome. Yeah, absolutely. As you guys know,

my name is Trish. I am a confidence coach. I am super passionate about helping people

live the life that they're meant to live, live the life of their dreams and live life

worth telling a story about. Actually, much like

Andrea, we've got a similar history. I went through a 10-year-long eating disorder. I've had my

heartbroken. I have been a personal trainer for almost 10 years and just wanted to just, I want

to kick the status quo in its teeth. I want to live a life worth telling a story about

an uncommon life. And I my business is all about my coaching style and my website and my

podcasts are all about how, you know, let's let's take life and go live it. Stop, stop

thinking about it and droning on and and and, and take ownership and just roll.

Like, I don't know, like, life is too short and I really want to make sure I, I, I celebrate it in every way that I can. And also that others learn how to do the same. You know, it's like, it's like, I feel like with my, with my past, I went through some dark phases. and I feel like I know I know, like, you know, you're feeling you look back. You're like, shit, I wasted my life. Like, I wasted. I have 10 years where I did. I can't say I contributed anything. Like, I got, you know, I got my degrees. And on the outside, everything was good. But not internally, I wasn't doing anything significant.

And it's like, so now I'm just trying to make up for time lost.
