In this inaugural In Session episode, Trinity Rose is joined by Gabrielle Perez and Shannon Kim to offer real-time, multidimensional guidance to Yvonne Hernandez, who brings a pressing business challenge into the session: inconsistent income.

Yvonne shares her desire for greater financial stability to support her family, alongside the physical and emotional toll of hustle culture, including burnout and vitiligo. As the session unfolds, Trinity provides strategic and practical business guidance, while Gabrielle and Shannon explore astrological patterns, subconscious dynamics, and nervous-system considerations that may be influencing Yvonne’s relationship with money, visibility, and growth.

Together, the group works through aligned strategies for income consistency—focusing on simplified marketing, clearer financial targets, potential collaborations, and sustainable revenue models—while honoring Yvonne’s values, health, and long-term mission to teach meditation to children.

This In Session episode offers a grounded, holistic look at business growth, burnout recovery, and creating financial stability without sacrificing well-being.

Seasoned Business Strategist Trinity Rose sits down with executive TV producer Danielle Stokdyk—creative partner to some of television's most talented showrunners—for a candid conversation about the art of storytelling, producing hit television shows, and the spiritual practices that keep her grounded in an industry that never stops moving.

In this episode, Danielle shares her journey from childhood internships in Hollywood to becoming an executive producer running production companies and overseeing Emmy-nominated shows.

Learn why great writing and storytelling require deep vulnerability, how to give effective creative notes with kindness, and why comedy might be some of the most healing and important work one can do. Danielle opens up about being a self-described people pleaser, learning to set boundaries, taking safe risks, and how meditation and spiritual practices have transformed her approach to work-life balance.

We also discuss the cultural phenomenon of the Telepathy Tapes podcast, why it resonated with millions, and how stories that expand our faith into something greater are needed now more than ever.
