In the very first episode of the Calm and Confident Podcast, I (Trina Gray) share my personal journey from journalist to fitness instructor to entrepreneur, and I open up about the powerful lesson of setting things down—learning to walk away from things that no longer bring joy, whether that's a career role, a friendship, or a side hustle. I talk about building three successful businesses, balancing professional ambition with family life, and how I’ve learned to make room for growth by letting go. I also introduce the idea of offering less explanation when making bold decisions, encouraging you to trust yourself and speak with clarity and confidence. This episode sets the tone for what’s to come: real, supportive conversations to help you live with more calm and confidence in every area of your life.

"You have permission to set things down. You're allowed to say, it's been great. I valued it while I did it. In fact, I loved it while I did it. I'm just not carrying it forward." - Trina
