Trena Laine Olfert - Author and Speaker
Trena Laine Olfert is proud to announce the release of Dear Aaron, a poignant and powerful memoir that sheds light on love, loss, and the toll of today’s hustle culture on mental health. Through raw, heartfelt reflection, Trena shares her journey through the heartbreak of losing her husband due to heart failure while confronting the pressures of constantly "doing more" and the sacrifices of personal wellness that often accompany it.
Dear Aaron delves deeply into the complexities of navigating profound grief amidst societal expectations to keep pushing forward. With an honest look at how hustle culture impacts mental health, the book is both a memoir and a call to reevaluate the relentless pursuit of productivity at the expense of well-being. Dear Aaron seeks to offer insight, comfort, and support to readers grappling with their own challenges, encouraging them to find balance, reclaim purpose, and prioritize healing.
“With Dear Aaron, I wanted to offer readers an honest perspective on what it’s like to experience loss, face burnout, and ultimately, find a way back to self-compassion,” says Trena. “In a world that often encourages us to hide our struggles, I felt compelled to share my story and to advocate for mental health as a vital aspect of our lives.”
One of my Book Endorsers - "Dear Aaron is courageously written from the heart about the darkest days of loss and the complex experience of grief. Trena’s poetic prose comforts by allowing the reader to feel seen in this collective experience of life with rawness and grit. “ - Dr. Pearle Law, B.A Hons, R.Ac
