About Us

You're not some project that needs to be fixed! You're NOT broken! You're done carrying the emotional weight of doing everything alone.

I’m Tricia Parido, founder of Turning Leaves® Recovery Life & Wellness Coaching and creator of Total Emotional Performance™, a practical, psychology-backed system for people who are tired of coping and finally ready to live.

I teach emotionally intelligent professionals, parents, leaders, and practitioners how to build emotional agility — the ability to respond instead of react, communicate clearly, and navigate stress without losing yourself.

My work blends:

✔ Performance psychology
✔ Advanced emotional intelligence
✔ Mind-body integration + psycho-nutrition
✔ Recovery life skills (post-detox & stabilization)
✔ Real lived experience

I help high-achieving humans uncover what’s actually keeping them stuck — then teach them how to break the cycle, create emotional freedom, and build a life they’re proud to stand in.

What I Do (and why it works):

✔ I help people who’ve outgrown coping finally gain emotional clarity
✔ I teach grounded, practical skills — not fluff or toxic positivity
✔ I provide credentialed training for coaches & professionals
✔ I guide people to better relationships, stronger presence, and deeper self-leadership
✔ I speak on stages about emotional agility, leadership, recovery, and resilience

If you're ready to:

✓ Stop the emotional tug-of-war
✓ Communicate without collapsing
✓ Break free from overthinking, overwhelm, or outdated coping
✓ Build grounded confidence, clarity, and impact

…then you're in the right place.

Let's make this your turning point.

How We Got Started

For years, I believed control would save me. If I could manage every risk, every emotion, every unknown — I’d be safe.

But life has a way of breaking illusions.

My wake-up moment wasn’t quiet.
It was primal. Overwhelming.
My nervous system had been sounding the alarm for years — and I finally listened.

I realized I couldn’t outthink my way out of emotional patterns.
You can’t “logic” your way out of shutdown, panic, people-pleasing, or survival mode.

You have to retrain your emotional world.

So I built the kind of emotional agility that let me stop coping and start living.
And now, I teach people the same — not as theory, but as lived truth.

Emotional agility changed everything for me.
It changes everything for my clients.
It will change everything for you.

I can only speak about my preference and those I work directly with... and that is social media and networking groups outside of word of mouth referrals  As for the difference between a therapist and an anger management professional in the most specific sense is in the specialty. A therapist may or may not prefer to work on anger management with their clients depending on their primary population for service whereas the anger management specialist most likely sticks to this population
