Meet Jayne Trimble

 

We recently connected with Jayne Trimble and have shared our conversation below.

Jayne, we’re so excited for our community to get to know you and learn from your journey and the wisdom you’ve acquired over time. Let’s kick things off with a discussion on self-confidence and self-esteem. How did you develop yours?

I am naturally a shy person, and an extreme introvert. I am also the host of TV show, and come across very confident- so when I tell people that they are always shocked. I believe you can be both. And in fact, one makes the other extraordinarily authentic and compelling. A quiet confidence. An inner knowing. A very present undeniability. All of these things came via a tremendous and very courageous inner journey through grief and trauma. There are 5 stages to grief and when you reach the final stage, acceptance, life becomes extremely juicy! So that’s where I got my confidence and self esteem- through doing grief and trauma work.

Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?

I am the host and producer of The Empower Women Show® which airs on the Rogers TV Cable network throughout Canada. I interview incredible women- entrepreneurs, leaders, professionals in the community, and the mission is to elevate and empower women by sharing their stories and showcasing their businesses. I pitched the show to Rogers TV at the end of 2024 and by Feb 2025 we were in the studio filming. The first episode aired in April and we have just wrapped filming Season 1. We have seen so much expansion in this short period of time, tons of support from sponsors and alot of love from the guests and audiences online and in the community. We are excited to film in Ontario, Manitoba, Alberta and British Columbia next! My vision for the show is to take this to the States where I live half the year and then over to Europe, since that is where I am from originally.

There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?

3 qualities that I feel were most impactful.. again, I need to go back to my healing journey. It started age 30, I’m now 42 and I had to acknowledge to myself the loss I had endured as a result of growing up in an alcoholic home. As soon as I started grieving that loss (crying, alot..), I started feeling again. The iceburg was melting and not only did I feel my sadness and anger, but also happiness and joy for the first time in my life. The second quality is courage. At around the same time I left my marriage I got my O1 visa to move to the States and fulfill my dream of living in LA. I left everything I had behind. I took my possessions and my dog and drove a UHaul down to LA, not knowing how I was going to earn or how I was going to survive. But I did it anyway, and it was the best decision I ever made. Why? And here is the third characteristic. I wasn’t a victim anymore. I’m victorious. I had no idea how much my attitude was impacting my outcomes. I see life as a huge gift now, and I’m grabbing it by the balls.

As we end our chat, is there a book you can leave people with that’s been meaningful to you and your development?

I would have to say The Artists Way. It’s my Bible. I am a 12-stepper and the book is full of that philosophy. Inner child work saved my life, and there are lots of exercises in that book, like the morning pages and the artists date, that are basically inner child work. It’s accessing your truth. I was so fragmented from myself- I survived my childhood by being a people pleaser and getting others peoples approval. I had no idea how angry I was. Until I asked my angry child. I did non dominant handwriting, where I asked questions as my adult self with my right hand, and then my inner child answered with my left hand. The first time I did this with a therapist, my inner child just wrote “WHERE WERE YOU?” with a giant black crayola. I had abandoned myself and she was so pissed off at me for neglecting her. I have been making it up to her ever since, and I am committed to making it up to her for the rest of my life.
