Trish Ahjel Roberts: The ways politics make us angry

The ways politics make us angry just might surprise you! Trish Ahjel Roberts wasn’t always mind-blowingly happy. Her journey started in 2010. She was a divorced mom who had just moved to a new city. She was in the midst of a painful breakup, money was tight, and she was convinced that her boss hated her. This wasn’t how Trish imagined her life. One day when she was at her wits end, she sat down at her kitchen table and googled the word “meditation.” The next day she went to a lunchtime session at a meditation center that completely changed her life. What else didn’t she know? She started studying Buddhist philosophy, got certified as a yoga and meditation instructor, learned reiki healing, and became a certified life coach. Now as the founder and CEO of Mind-Blowing Happiness LLC, she uses her own personal struggle and success to help people just like you find freedom from anger and negative emotions so you can live authentically, walk in purpose, and reach your full potential.

On episode 488 of the Fraternity Foodie Podcast, we find out why Trish decided on Metropolitan College of New York and then Long Island University for her Masters, how she was able to get unstuck in life, why we get so upset over politics, how we can transform anger into positive action this political season, how we can get rid of our guilt and frustration, how we should combat betrayal, how we can get rid of road rage, what is unconscious bias and how that impacts our organization, and why diverse/authentic teams are best in college. Enjoy!
