15. Life By Design

In this episode, I reflect on what it really means to live a life by design—not by default. I walk you through an honest self-assessment exercise where I encourage you to rate key areas of your life on a scale of 1 to 5 stars: inner health, physical health, family, career, finances, social circle, and adventure. I share my own scores and the stories behind them to help you see how small, intentional steps can spark powerful change. Together, we explore how mindset, self-worth, and inner peace can shape your confidence and direction. My hope is that this episode empowers you to become more self-aware and to take actionable steps toward building a life you truly love.

“Do you feel you have a positive mindset, or are you pulled toward the negative, toward the down? Do you have a sense of self love, compassion and worth, or are you right now kind of living as your own worst critic? Do you feel this kind of foundation of inner peace in your life now, even if life is busy or chaotic, you can have this kind of glow or sense of inner peace. Do you feel that right now, or are your insides more frenetic or shaky or anxious?” - Trina
