In this episode, you’ll learn how to create a powerful, 4-part vision board that brings together meaningful quotes, joyful bucket list items,  bold goals, and your biggest dreams. If the first half of your year felt like a blur or didn’t quite go the way you hoped, you’re not alone — and it’s not too late to reset. Today, you’ll get clear on where you’re going in the second half of the year. We’re creating a vision board with a twist — not just images cut from magazines or quotes to hang on a wall, but rather a living, breathing document to excite you, goals that guide you, and big dreams that stretch you. Trina dedicated this episode to her mom, who turns 84 in heaven as she records today. Her mom was a big fan of vision boards and always loved seeing hers and writing her own. Even in her mom’s late 70s, while battling cancer, her mom was setting goals just like the ones you will do together today. Her mom and Trina had a complicated ending and lost years between them at the end, but this is one area where they felt connected and understood — setting goals for their lives and living intentionally. 

“If your goals are about revenue in your business or clients or sales or growth or certifications you need, or benchmarks you need to hit, by all means, those can be your goals, and that’s where you are in life. You just own that, and you get goals down that are really specific to what’s kind of fueling your life right now.” – Trina Gray
