In this week’s episode of The Game On Girlfriend® Podcast, I sit down with the extraordinary Trinette, a creative powerhouse who has lived multiple lifetimes—in modeling, tech, film, and beyond. After losing her corporate job, she took a gap year to build the creative career she actually wanted.

What You'll Learn

• Inventing your own rules when the path ahead isn’t clear
