Listen Later

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

  • From modeling in France to starring in indie films

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

  • How to survive a layoff and create the career you actually want

  • Trinette's rollout of her curated networking experience—and why in-person connections still matter (maybe more than ever!)

  • That time she decided she wanted to sing at a Boston bar (yes, really)

  • Why trusting your intuition—even when it's messy—is everything

Whether you're mid-pivot, dreaming big, or wondering if it's too late to reinvent yourself—this episode will light a fire in your belly.
