(SISS)  Hi Trishia, where are you from and where are you currently spending your time?  (Trishia)  Hello, l was born and raised in Mexico City, and for almost ten years l’ve been living in Germany.  (SISS)  What was one of the hardest things that you had to go through? What advice would you give someone going through the same struggle?  (Trishia)  Well for sure it was when I moved to another country.  l was 40 years old it was my hardest thing, especially when you don't speak the language. When you don't have friends, no family and for sure another culture. My advice is please, please do NOT give up and you have to trust YOURSELF, do not be afraid to speak another language, meet new people, and think that a NEW situation brings always a NEW experience and your AGE doesn’t matter when you do new things in your life.  (SISS)  Lifestyle | Fitness | “Real and genuine woman in the 40’s with positive attitude” #SISS Tell us more… who is @after_40s and what are you most proud of?  (Trishia)  After 40s is Patricia a woman that is not perfect, l like to do sport, mostly go to the gym, l tried to show people that Age doesn’t matter when you want to be fit. When you look good, you are the limit to do the things that you want not your age. I’m the woman that have been learning a lot from the problems and hard situations. l had a difficult childhood, but I’m proud that I stopped being the victim of my past and circumstances and I’ve been learning to take action towards the life I want.  (SISS)  Finish this sentence, I have a dream… ?  (Trishia)  To see my mother again.  (SISS)  What makes you the happiest?  What is fun for you?  (Trishia)  To LIVE and ENJOY my LIFE everyday with small things. I'm a very good listener so l like to hear people and help them with positives thoughts. And what’s fun for me? Smile to every stranger in the street and see what happens.  (SISS)  How do you deal with disappointment? How do you Keep Going?   (Trishia)  Of course I am very sensitive person, but l started to learn DON`T TAKE ANYTHING PERSONAL and move on. I Keep Going by trying to learn about every situation and keep in mind that EVERY SITUATION MAKES YOU STRONGER and do not forget, YOU ONLY HAVE ONE LIFE.  (SISS)  What is your superpower?  (Trishia)  My smile, my eyes and l am a good listener.  (SISS)  Finish the sentence, my life has gotten so much better since… ?  (Trishia)  l started to believe in myself and l woke up from the old me.  (SISS)  Can you tell us four things people might not know about you?  (Trishia)  (1) My mom died when l was one years old.  (2) l was hit by a car when l was five years old.  (3) l lived in Denver Colorado for two years.  (4) I am almost fifty years old.  (SISS)  Can you tell us where else can our readers follow your daily inspiration?  (Trishia)  On Instagram after_40s,  l post everyday motivational quotes, fitness and how is life after 40’s.  (SISS)  Got a Story to Tell? Can you tell us a quick story or moment/night of a relationship experience, a lesson learned? (This could be funny or serious).  (Trishia)  When l arrived to Germany, many things happened to me, but one of the most saddest situations was:  when l have to say good bye to my father by telephone when he was dying in Mexico. One of my sisters called me and said to me that my father was dying and had only a few hours left. It was a terrible moment for me because l wanted to be with him, to say good bye in person, look in his eyes and say thank you to him for all that he gave me in my life, but l couldn’t because l had a airline ticket for the next day and it was to late for me to see him alive. After all of this situations l was continuing to learn German. l found a nice job l started to have friends and slowly I continued my life here. l can say that was NOT EASY for me, l cried, and l cried and cried... l wanted give up many times and return to Mexico. But at end, my attitude and my character to see the things with another perspective helped me a lot.  (SISS)  What’s your favorite quote?  (Trishia)  "What does not kill you makes you stronger"  (SISS)  At Smart is so sexy we love to see women who are thriving in their career or business.  What are you most passionate about?  (Trishia)  l am very passionate about fashion, but I am most passionate to motivate people, especially people after 40’s or more.  For me, those people are in the stage where they have a lot of important changes in their lives.  (SISS)  Who was the most influential person in your life and why?  (Trishia)  My older sister because when our mother passed away she took care of us being very young, having many responsibilities at that time . So l have a good example from her, she is my big inspiration.  (SISS)  Where were you five years ago? What advice would you tell your five years younger self?  (Trishia)  Five years ago, I was trying to be a part of a different culture than mine and I was losing confidence in myself. My advice at that time would have been: Trust yourself more, you can do anything, because YOU are your own limit and you deserve everything in this life.  (SISS)  Can you take us through a typical day?
