Today’s Episode—Em Stroud - Comic Coach | Business Creativity, Play and Wellbeing Speaker | Co-Founder of Laugh Think Play | Host of Clowning Around Podcast | 2x TEDx Speaker | Author | Stand-up Comedian and Performer | MC

Em Stroud and I met through a mutual friend (shout-out to Nick Morgan ), and my time with Em was filled with...well...wonder! You will know exactly what I mean when you listen. Our conversations range from the serious (those times when we hide who we truly are), to the mundane (the stress of being late to pick up our child), to the delightful (we're all part of a fruit salad). In short, Em is multi-dimensional, refreshing and an absolute delight. I am so excited to share Em's unique take on life through the eyes of a mom, business woman, wife, friend, and clown (yes, clown!).

Meet Trish Kendall

If you ask her, Trish Kendall will tell you she is the most successful person in the world. She is proud of her career, is a trusting and trusted member of her community, and a loving wife and devoted mother to a 14-year-old girl and 12-year-old boy. All simple measures, but far more than she ever thought she would have. 

Abuse, Addiction, and Hopelessness

As a child, Trish could never have dreamed of the life that she has built today. Her childhood was tortured by relentless sexual abuse, neglect, and ultimately, a drug addiction that nearly took her life. Those that knew her early in life would never have predicted that she would live past 20.

Enduring Success

Trish made five critical choices on her 25-year journey to success. Each choice and each subsequent success brought her closer to creating enduring success: embracing our boundless capacity to give love and to receive love. 

Choose & Become Interview Series

In the Choose & Become Interview series, I delve into these five critical choices, and I unearth the inspirational stories of my guests as they share their journeys to enduring success.

In this episode, Trish and guest, Tim Washer, discuss the following:

• Enduring Success: What does enduring success meant to you?
• First Choice: What is a first choice, practical or profound, that has impacted your journey on the way to enduring success?
• Two-Way Agreement: Share your perspective on a two-way agreement, and by committing to it really elevated your experience and journey?
• Trust: How have you had to build trust in yourself and inspire the trust in others?
• Community and Belonging: What is your experience with belonging, how about times you felt you haven’t belonged?
• Boundless Love: Then you think about giving love or receiving love, the verb, the action, how does that manifest in your life?
