Start Here . . .



Hi, I'm Trina. I'm a life coach and writer sharing about growing life.


My experience in creating a life I'm proud of has been a slow growth process. I want to encourage and bring life to others feeling stuck, because good things are growing even here.

We’re likely kindred spirits if you…
. . . need things to be simple just to counteract all the chaos.
. . . long for validation and affirmation that your effort is worthwhile.
. . . need a little renewal in your life.
. . . desire support and connection.

I look forward to connecting as we grow life!
