Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Gina McGowan Cade. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Gina , first a big thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and insights with us today. I’m sure many of our readers will benefit from your wisdom, and one of the areas where we think your insight might be most helpful is related to imposter syndrome. Imposter syndrome is holding so many people back from reaching their true and highest potential and so we’d love to hear about your journey and how you overcame imposter syndrome.
Did I overcome my imposter syndrome? There are days I fight through it.
Let me explain how I go through Imposter Syndrome:
During those times I want to implement something new – I almost immediately regret it.
One morning after waking, I got out of bed and seriously thought, “I can’t do this!”
First of all, the word, “Can’t” should not be a thought, even when the work seems too much and I feel like I’m over my head as I bring it all together. As Trinity grows, I like to implement the new, like we are a large company with many different departments. However, when that means I will be doing the talking, reviewing, and transforming from the old to the new idea.
I must remind myself quickly, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Even today when I become overwhelmed with customer service, reviewing, proofreading, and quality control, I ask myself, “Can I do this?” I have done it for seven years, what’s different now? That’s when I keep moving forward. It won’t always be this way – my help has arrived!
So, to answer the question, I overcome imposter syndrome by not allowing the thoughts to weigh me down. When a thought comes up, I quickly dismiss it and move forward. Next!
Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?
Trinity Writing and Publishing is excited to announce, “We are Rebranding!” We have a new logo, website, email address, products, and pricing and are planning to advertise on billboards, in magazines, and with other media outlets. These are exciting times for the staff at Trinity.
What’s New?
Beginning in July, after our soft launch, our Authors will have the opportunity to Submit their manuscripts via the website.
There are questions the Authors will answer for their cover design when needed, which will be completed with our Graphics Department.
You can now receive a Press Release, and if you’re local to the Dallas area you can have a Photo Shoot and a Video Promo, and depending on which package you choose, there is now more in-depth Marketing, Public Relations, and Branding.
If you need assistance with a Book’s Description, a Title of a Book, have Writer’s Block, or any assistance that requires writing, Trinity can assist you.
Trinity offers Publishing Packages ranging from $500 – $10,000.
If you have journals, cookbooks, a memoir, a biography of a special person, a fictional manuscript you have been holding on to, or a book of encouragement you want to have published, let’s make it happen.
Trinity’s staff is thankful, grateful, and blessed for each client that comes our way. Customer Service is our number one priority. We make every effort to do an excellent job for each Author as we want them to succeed.

Who is your ideal client or what sort of characteristics would make someone an ideal client for you?
Trinity’s ideal clients are those who would like to publish a book for the first or 20th time. They have a story to tell, maybe have professional expertise in an area that will help others, or would like to become a professional writer in a certain genre.
