HOW’S YA HEAD | YOU’RE NEVER TOO OLD TO LEARN HOW TO DRIVE A MANUAL

Heyooooo team! What a wonderful episode. Trent is in the studio and when I say he is an absolute DELIGHT the words still don't seem like enough. Trent shares so much today about taking care of his mind through exercise, the importance of recognition, and his self-care Sunday routine. We talk about how overthinking and caring what other people think is damn silly when you really (over)think about it. This genuinely felt like a chat with an old friend. Trent is kind and passionate about life and I can't thank him enough for coming on to share and be vulnerable with us today. Hope you love this like I do!!
