I never thought I would be a blogger. I was quiet, shy, and sort of a wallflower. But here I am! The Trish List is a lifestyle blog based in the Finger Lakes of New York. I get asked often for that reason if I like wine. Uhhhmmmm Duh?!
My name is Trish and you have stumbled upon my blog which I fondly refer to as the zen between the chaos. The Zen Between the Chaos is my professional life coaching and virtual assistant business. I offer life coaching to women who are looking to reconnect with themselves and find joy again.. you know, the zen.. between the chaos. 😁
I have consistently struggled with a focus for this space. I love showing up and sharing stories with each of you, but I never really thought about what the purpose of this space is. Recently, after one hot mess after another, I realized something...
The zen between the chaos is my life. I am just a girl trying to navigate life as a mom while trying not to lose herself in the process. This is why I started my business to help other women. We have to stick together, right?
Every day I feel like I am going through a metamorphosis, discovering a new layer of myself as I grow my wings and take flight into the next adventure.
You can expect life posts that may or may not be a little nuts at times, mindfulness practices, wellness topics that include yoga and being healthy in your body, self-development coaching advice, and probably some random fashion and cat posts. You get the full spectrum here!
I started this blog back in 2014 when I was a single 30-year-old living off of anything I could get for free. It was either that or not eating for a week. I applied for every freebie, sample, coupon, party package, etc. out there. This is how the blog was born. I was posting reviews of all of my free stuff once a week on another page that no longer exists. I decided early on while blogging that I wanted to write about more than just products I got free in the mail.
Today I am 39, have been married for 5 years, have 2 fur babies (Grace and Drew. We miss Rick every day), and have an active toddler who will be known here as Baby Bloob. Oh, and he was born 5 weeks early at a cool 6lbs 2oz. My giant preemie. I am the complete lifestyle package, don't ya think?
Today it reminds me that I had big dreams and somehow along the way I got off track. That's the best thing about life. You can get back on track anytime you choose. It took me a few years of being broke, alone, and just plain miserable to realize all I had to do was make different choices.
A lot of those dreams include travel and self-discovery. I am always growing and evolving myself. This is something I want to pass on to my son. I want him to see the world we live in, with an unbiased eye. I want him to discover it for himself and not for what others tell him it should be like.

My Dreams
One of the topics I am writing a lot about lately is my lifelong dreams. When I was in my early 20's I had a kanji symbol for 'dream' tattooed on my right foot. I thought long and hard about this before putting something so permanent there.

Honest and Raw
You may wonder what to expect here on this page, and honestly, I wonder too. I will tell you whatever it is, it is something I believe in. You will see the good, the bad, and maybe the ugly at times. I enjoy having a pretty space to look at, but I also know I can't offer pretty styled photos of myself every day.
So.. Welcome!
If you're still here I applaud you. I can't wait to share this journey with all of you. Whether it be life stories, fashion-type posts, or some kind of weird yoga pose, I will be here for your reading pleasure!
