    Episode 111: Healing Our Inner Conflicts Around Allowing Ourselves To Shine Bright WIth Confidence Coach Trina J

    All of our lives are worthy of a movie or documentary according to Trina J, a coach friend of mine who. However, our inner conflicts about being good enough or being ready come up and prevent us from shining our bright light.

    That is where Trina J meets her clients when it comes building confidence on and off screen, starting with addressing that little girl in the mirror and all her past pain. 

    In Today's episode, Trina J shares:


    Her story switching from journalism to broadcast and experiencing what she refers to as "the backlash" of shining bright.
    Navigating her own struggles with learning to shine and deal with the haters, and using her gifts to help women heal their inner child wounds so they can shine bright again.
    Breaking through the narratives that were given to us and rebuilding into the women you truly want to become.
     Breaking the myth that we have to preform perfectly on the first try and normalizing the self doubt that will surface when we do something new
    How to line up with your magnetic and magical energy that no one else can imitate. 
    Glorifying the triumph we have experienced among the trauma.
    Tools to help build up the confidence, whether it is on or off camera.

    How our mind, hearts, and bodies are all connected and how they "talk with each other" through the experience of trauma.

@empoweredcuriosity ,

Kindness goes a long way

I appreciate Katie’s perspective on how to approach the body with kindness and empathy. Such a needed voice in the conversation around body image as we all do the work to deconstruct the perceived/projected narratives about our bodies. Thank you 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼

MissBrittanyNoel ,

Inspiring, loving, and optimistic ✨

Listening to Katie is such a breath of fresh air! She’s got a contagious can-do attitude and makes her listeners feel welcomed and loved in her little corner of the internet. Her wisdom and knowledge are presented without making her listeners feel bad about themselves and presented without a condescending attitude.

Can’t wait for the next show! 💖✨
