Welcome back to The Main Thing Podcast! I’m your host Skip Lineberg.

Dr. Trish Ring is a psychologist who has re-invented her career many times, as a therapist, a speaker, a radio-show host, a personal coach, a lifestyle guru and a horse whisperer.

She is now turning her attention to writing a memoir, “By the Book: A Bible Belt Memoir of Growing Up Good and Southern.” In it, she weaves together tales of a childhood in the American South, as well as good southern yarns about family skeletons, how to believe in yourself no matter what and how to live with courage and lots of love. Trish brings  smarts, hard-earned wisdom and a wry sense of humor to her writing that appeals to all ages of Southerners and Yankees alike. She comes to us today from her home in Memphis, TN.

Saddle up! Get ready to discover why Trish Ring is one of the wisest people I know.
