ENFJ personality type, slowly waning myself off an animal print addiction
but fully embracing my passions for Spanish tapas & sparkling water.
Hi! I'm Trisha, a spiritual mentor, life and leadership coach, writer, frequent traveler, proud plant mom, and a Neil Diamond superfan.
About
Once upon a time, I was married, trying to start a family, and had a successful career in New York City’s entertainment industry…. but the Universe had other plans for me. And within a year, it was all gone.

Unable to understand how everything I had wanted and worked for could slip away, I fled the United States to escape my pain and moved to Spain. I only intended to stay a few months, but I’m still here almost five years later.
Unraveling what happened in my life required I look deep within myself for the answers I was searching for. And that took time. A lot of it. I had to climb out of profound depression, stop playing the victim, and be brutally honest with myself. “What decisions had I made to end up here? And why?” I’d ask myself.
Slowly, I started to do the work and began to inch away from depression… and right into crippling anxiety. “Okay, I got out of bed today, but now what? What the heck am I supposed to do with my life?” I'd wonder. And then the heavier questions about motherhood and family would come.
My story...
I decided to start exactly where I was. I opened my eyes and saw that I'd been ignoring the beautiful new life growing right in front of me. And astonishingly, I remembered that I had planted the seed years before when I wrote a list of what I’d like in my “perfect life.” I wrote that I wanted to be bilingual and live in a city immersed in Hispanic culture. I wanted to live someplace warm with palm trees. I wanted to travel more. “Huh,” I thought. “Did I create this new life?”
“Who will I be if not a wife, a mother? Will I be alone forever?” I sat paralyzed with these questions for a few years before I started to feel a teeny, tiny micro-shift simmering within. “Get up. It’s time,” said a whisper. But where to begin?
That was in 2021, and I’ve been surrendering to God’s plan ever since. I’ve learned that my life in New York was necessary but also not aligned with my spirit. I was letting my ego make decisions based on fear. Now, I make my decisions based on love. And I wake up daily with gratitude for my journey. My life is a testament to the power of the divine at work, and now that I know how to listen and direct that energy, life just keeps getting better and better.
So many times before, I’d felt the hand of God at work, but I pushed those feelings away. I wasn’t ready to listen. And I didn’t start to understand what lessons I was meant to learn until I “spontaneously” (is anything spontaneous really?) decided to walk The Camino de Santiago, a 500-mile pilgrimage across Spain. And, gurl, let me tell you… I do not hike, but I was called to do it. “Trisha, surrender,” the voice said this time. So, I did.

I sprinkle hot sauce on pretty much everything, which lead to my nickname, Trisha "Hot Sauce" Espinoza. What can I say? I like it spicy!
I once danced with Tom Cruise and sang with Jamie Foxx. (This was before the Katie Holmes drama and when they were still friends, obvi.)
I absolutely love avocados... but only in ice cream. The chopped up bits taste like yummy pistachios. But guacamole? No, gracias.
I've written a New York Times bestseller that's being made into a film. Ok, ok, full disclosure... it's still a work in-progress, but it'll happen. Just wait.

I believe in miracles- 100%. If we ever chat, ask me about the big one that changed my life. It's SO GOOD. SO GOOD. SO GOOD!
