01/ Trina's New Book

It's likely you've heard about "soul care," but what does it mean to care for our souls (and what exactly is our soul anyways?).  In Season 5, Episode 32 of The Lovely Life Podcast, Trina dives a little deeper into her new book, Unclutter Your Soul: Overcome What Overwhelms You. Trina touches on her journey of soul care (first explaining what the word "soul" actually means), her process of self-reflection prior to writing the book, and her steps to uncluttering her soul and how you can create space in your life for peace and joy too!

Join us in listening to Episode 32 and be sure to stay until the end to hear about a surprise gift from Trina!
