Trina Mays
My passion lies in empowering driven individuals to overcome self-limiting beliefs, paving the way for them to present themselves authentically in every facet of their lives. I get the privilege of witnessing powerful transformations as individuals unfold into their true selves. Walking with clients as they break free from stagnation and embark on the journey to achieve their goals brings me immense satisfaction.
My Professional Journey
Several years ago, I felt underwater in nearly every area of my life. I had no vision for how things could change nor belief in myself to make it happen. There came a time when I realized I couldn’t navigate this journey alone – I needed guidance. Reflecting on that period now, the person I once was would scarcely recognize the individual I’ve become. The metamorphosis I’ve undergone since then is monumental, and a testament to the transformative power of partnering with a coach and embracing incremental progress.
I use the word "transformation" deliberately because what ensued was nothing short of a profound evolution. As I began to achieve milestones in one aspect of my life, it catalyzed a ripple effect, granting me newfound clarity and determination to enact change in other areas. Gradually, I cultivated not only the self-assurance but also the practical skills necessary to pursue my aspirations. Most significantly, I rediscovered the art of dreaming – and not just dreaming but dreaming ambitiously.
Now, as a coach, I have the privilege of holding vision and belief for my clients, just as my own coach did for me. I understand the power of providing unwavering support and accountability, knowing the transformative impact it can have on the journey towards self-discovery and growth.
