Synopsis
There's a new queen of talk on the block, and her name's Trisha Goddard. This British presenter gained a following with her BAFTA award-winning tabloid talk show in the UK.
Now based in the USA, she is presenting the American equivalent, Trisha.
Through her common-sense approach to problem solving and conflict resolution, Trisha helps everyday people and their families navigate issues they are struggling to overcome.
Blending a no-nonsense approach with natural empathy and compassion, she guides guests through life's little speed bumps – all with the aim, she says, of not only getting to the heart of their problems but also planting the seeds of change within these family units.
Topics range from troubled teen mothers to domestic abuse.
