In episode 15, “Life by Design,” Trina invites listeners to evaluate different areas of their lives—such as inner well-being, physical health, relationships, career, finances, social support, and adventure—by giving each a rating from 1 to 5. Through sharing her own reflections and scores, Trina underscores the value of self-awareness and taking purposeful steps toward improvement. She highlights how cultivating peace of mind, staying physically active, nurturing family ties, pursuing fulfilling work, achieving financial stability, building strong friendships, and seeking new experiences can all contribute to a more intentional and empowered life.

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
