I am so fired up to have one of my best friends, Trina Gray, on the show today, who just happens to be one of the most driven & successful entrepreneurs I know. She’s also one of the best parents, coaches, and life-transformers I know as well. Trina and I go way back to when she joined my Mastermind in 2007, and she has continued to flourish and serve in so many capacities. We share many commonalities, and today we are talking about parenting, life, lessons learned, and our love of coaching people to a higher level. 

My friends, today’s episode will inspire you to live your best life with harmony and joy. Listen in and hear Trina share her immense wisdom on:

- Lessons learned in running a health club for over 15 years but most importantly the last 1 ½ years during COVID-19.
