Trish’s self-help memoir, Thinking Outside the Chrysalis: A Black Woman's Guide to Spreading Her Wings details her personal journey from trauma to redemption and her 12-step approach to ultimate happiness. Her memoir guides women through the steps required to heal and develop spiritually and emotionally while offering a multitude of resources including book, music, and film recommendations.


The book also directs readers to guided meditations and affirmations recorded personally by Trish and an online Facebook community for Black women interested in personal development through her 12-drop approach.

She also hosts an inspirational series called, "The Butterfly Effect: Conversations for Black Women to Soar." A companion podcast for this series is in the works.
