Mid-Life with Ehlers Danlos featuring Trish

Hi! My name is Trish. I am many things. The things I strive most to be are truthful and kind. I am a mother, teacher, friend, advocate, special educator, goofball, creator, whistler, sister, daughter, and compassionate human. I drive an hour each way to teach at a school whose mission aligns with my heart. Most of my content is recorded during that drive, while my electric car handles the steering. I am a mother to terrific children with a very long list of amazing attributes matched by an equally long list of complicated illnesses. I'm navigating genetics, neurodiversity, and my own health struggles, and trying to live my best life with the challenges and not in spite of them. I want my family, myself, and my students to see that life can be amazing, even when it is awful at the same time, and that's not just a matter of perspective. I have Ehler's Danlos Syndrome, which I feel is a player in all my other diagnoses. I also LOVE science and teach it when I can. I want to help others.
