The time has come to end this wonderful 3 year journey of the Mind & Body Strong Podcast.  This last episode feels bittersweet. I still remember that first episode in my apartment closet where I hit record on the voice memos of my phone and had no idea what I was doing, but a huge call in my heart to start using my voice to educate and inspire others. The growth I have experienced and the friends I have made from this have been nothing short of amazing. But in the spirit of learning to trust my heart and soul, which we talk about in this episode, this feels like the next step to be able to open space to do the things I really want to do. This whole podcast will still be available to listen to and below you will find where you can follow Chelsea and I to learn more about our coaching and our newest annual women's retreat, Trust Fall Into You.

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.   Connect with Trina J: https://prettymotivated.com/confidence-on-camera  Connect with Katie: https://www.mindandbodystrong.com/connect
