*“To be a good coach, your clients want to know your experience,”* says Trina Scott, a graduate of the [Transformational Life Coaching program at SWIHA](https://swiha.edu/life-coaching-programs/), *“Oftentimes, it's hard for someone to trust you if you haven't experienced something similar. You want them to feel safe opening up to you.”*

Experience is something that Trina has plenty of. She shares with us: *“My life was a struggle for me because I had lost my husband. He was a police officer killed in the line of duty. I was searching for my purpose as I was trying to raise four daughters alone. As I was volunteering to assist survivors through a non-profit organization, I felt I needed to share my struggles, my fears, and my successes with others. Assist them through their struggles, walking with them and empowering them by finding their inner strength. I never wanted anyone to feel like I felt going through my choices.”*

*“I knew I was on the right path when shared my story and people came up to me thanking me for that. They were telling me that they have felt or experienced a similar situation and could never put words to it. I put the words to their feelings for them,”* she recalls, *“I guess that was my ‘a-ha’ moment.”*

Trina is now starting her own private practice, [New Vision New Journey Life Coaching](https://www.newvisionnewjourney.com/) where she coaches around relationships, team-building and trauma.

*“I realized that I was hiding my gift under a bushel and it wasn't getting any light to grow. So I said ‘Let's do this! Take that big step, that leap of faith.’*” proclaims Trina.

The biggest lesson her experiences have provided her? *“Self-love and everything I ever need or want is inside me.”*
