In this episode, I dive deep into the concept of "saving your battery" by becoming more decisive and freeing up your mental space. As a busy entrepreneur and mother, I know firsthand how draining indecision can be. I walk you through three major barriers to decision-making—overwhelm, overthinking, and perfectionism—and share practical tools to help you break free from them. My goal is to help you lead a calmer, more confident life by teaching you how to make decisions that lighten your load and sharpen your focus.

"You don’t need more time—you need fewer decisions." - Trina Gray

Key Points:

• I identified overwhelm as a key barrier and explained how reducing commitments and clarifying life roles can lead to better decisions.

• I explored how overthinking holds us back and suggested that making informed, swift decisions can help us build self-trust.

• I tackled perfectionism, sharing how striving for perfection often delays progress and how I overcame it by launching this very podcast.

• I reminded listeners that not all tasks are created equal—it's important to spot urgent but unimportant activities that drain your energy.

• I encouraged you to choose progress over perfection and focus on growth and service, even when you don’t have all the answers.

In this episode, I dive into the inevitable moments when life simply doesn't go as planned. Whether it's missing a hotel booking, dealing with unexpected work mishaps, or just backing into a garage door, I talk about the power of giving ourselves grace during these times. I share a practical three-step framework to help you respond intentionally: take care of yourself first, thoughtfully handle the situation, and then move forward. I also answer a thoughtful listener question about balancing life roles and how having too many—or too few—can impact our fulfillment. Life’s messes are universal, but how we handle them determines our growth, our peace, and ultimately, our joy.

"When you hold on to the thing that went wrong, your arms get heavy." – Trina Gray

Key Takeaways:

• Give yourself permission to feel emotions and process mistakes with healthy outlets like walking or journaling.

• Life will throw curveballs—what matters is how we choose to respond.

• Use my three-step framework: care for yourself, respond to the issue, and then release it.

• Letting go of anger and resentment is a gift you give to yourself and those around you.

• Take a closer look at your roles in life—too many may stretch you thin, too few may leave you unfulfilled.

In this episode, I open up about how life, relationships, careers, and even holidays can evolve—and still be completely right for where we are now. I share personal stories, including how I’ve handled grief during Mother’s Day, navigated changes in my direct sales career, and adjusted my health routines as I’ve grown older. These experiences have taught me that just because something looks different, doesn’t mean it’s wrong. In fact, embracing change has helped me feel more grounded and confident. My hope is that you’ll use this podcast as a toolbox—filled with practical lessons and real-life insights—to guide you through your own transitions and help you live a calm, intentional life.

"Things can look different and still be right." – Trina Gray

• Life changes—big or small—can still align with who I am today.
• “Right” for me now doesn’t mean perfect; it just means what fits in this season.
• Holidays have changed after personal loss, but they still hold space for gratitude.
• I’ve accepted that relationships evolve, and that’s part of growing with grace.
• My approach to health and self-care now looks different, and that’s perfectly okay.
