Meet Trenise Elmore

Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Trenise Elmore. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Trenise, 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.
I overcame imposter syndrome by learning to be present, being aware of my current season so I know how to navigate and setting goals to accomplish.

Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?
I am a self taught filmmaker and the bulk of my work is centered around helping others tell their story and the message(s) within. In addition to helping others tell their stories I’ve answered a new call to also help others be intentional about their health so they are able to live well in order to share their story with others.

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?
I believe the strongest thing we could ever do on a creative journey is learning how to face yourself and not beat yourself up. From there you create a plan on how to address the issue and work on becoming the best version on you. This is the beginning of self care. Truly learning how to love ourselves.

Any advice for folks feeling overwhelmed?
When I’m feeling overwhelmed I go out in nature to pray, be still and to be present. Then once I’m satisfied I go write. Write down everything that’s on my mind. Then I see if there’s anything on that list that could be a distraction. I remove all distractions and from there I create a plan to get back on track and I execute.
