This week's episode marks the start of year two of the Calm & Confident Collective. After 365 days, 52 podcasts and thousands of downloads and messages, I'm grateful that you with me. Thanks for being part of the journey where we talk about how to live a better life at work and at home. I love hearing from listeners. You can find me on my socials (links below). Today's topic is about being present. I offered two ways to be more present in your daily life – being physically present with your actions, and being mentally present with your thoughts. There are a lot of things that try to throw us off course – distractions from devices, repeating thoughts and worries. I offer some strategy and reasoning for being mindful of where you are choosing to be.

What You'll Learn in This Episode

• (0:00) – Trina reflects on one year of the Calm and Confident Podcast and how listener feedback reaffirmed that these conversations truly matter.

• (0:07:30) – "Be where your feet are" means being fully present in your actions, especially by reducing distractions like phones when you're with people you love.

• (0:14:30) – Presence in thoughts is harder than presence in actions and requires consciously tabling worries about the past or future that don't belong in the current moment.

• (0:20:00) – Repeating thoughts ("thoughts on repeat") drain your energy; you either need to make a plan about them or make peace with them.

• (0:25:30) – When you intentionally choose to be where your feet are, others feel truly seen and heard, and you finish your days more grateful, grounded, and energized.

"If you've chosen in any which way to be in this moment, then give yourself and the people around you the gift of being in this moment in your head."- Trina
