Trudycoaches

Having education and experience in psychology and counseling, I started my life and career coaching business in 2000.  I work with mid-life women who want something more for themselves at this point in life - a new direction, special project, or a different career twist.  I help them bring their vision into reality through support and accountability.  Most of my work is done over the telephone, so I can work with people in various locations. You can visit my website at http://www.trudymcknight.com if you would like more information. 

I live on an island near Seattle with my husband of five years, along with our two huge beautiful male cats. I moved from the Deep South to the Pacific Northwest in 1998, and feel like a fish who has found water.  I have recently gotten back in the pool, having been a competitive swimmer in my youth, and am regularly swimming laps with my waterproof Ipod!  It feels great! After many challenges in life along the way, I'm happier now than at any other time in my life!

Response to: The Movie It's Complicated

"Thanks, Catherine.  We have $5 movies all day for "seniors" on Tuesdays, and since I now qualify by being 60, that's when we try to go.  I'm finding good things about aging wherever I can!  Seems like there are some good movies in the ..." (read comment)

"Thanks for the listing, Catherine.  Just saw It's Complicated yesterday, and loved it!  Really liked The Blindside a lot (I'm originally from the south, so got a little taste of home, along with the movieline), as well as Julie and Julia. &..." (read comment)

""Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it" - that certainly nailed it for me.  I  am attempting a retraining program on this (yes, I try to practice boundaries and acceptance in most things, but...) with some progress. &nb..." (read comment)

Response to: Transitioning after retirement

Comment posted on November 9, 2009 at 6:34 am:
"We are certainly not given any guidance as to how to deal with the transitions at this time in our lives - and, really, we aren't given many clues about dealing with transitions in general.  I've waffled around over the past two years, and the e..." (read comment)

"Nappy did not start off being so people friendly, which surprised me based on what I'd read about the breed.  He'd always follow, but DID NOT want to be picked up.  I think we've recently broken through the trust barrier, thank goodness. &n..." (read comment)
