In this conversation, Trinity Rose, Brand, Marketing + Business Strategist, sits down with Alicia Liu — founder of Lavender & Truffles — to explore her path from luxury fashion and e-commerce into the food industry and consumer packaged goods. Before launching her plant-based, clean-ingredient wellness brand, Alicia worked across multiple luxury fashion houses and later with brands including Century 21, Miss Sixty, and Amazon Fashion.

Alicia shares how her early experiences in fashion shaped her understanding of brand, process, and operations — and how a personal health journey led her to build a company rooted in clean ingredients and wellness. She speaks candidly about the realities of launching and scaling a product-based business, the operational demands of CPG, and the role of community and relationships in navigating entrepreneurship.

The conversation also traces her evolving definition of success — from personal ambition to leadership, team support, and long-term alignment.

In this engaging conversation, Trinity Rose, Brand, Marketing + Business Strategist, interviews David Dayan Fisher—an evolutionist, actor, author, and artist—on his path from a troubled childhood in England, through London’s club scene, to pursuing his dreams in Hollywood, and ultimately finding inner peace through spiritual psychology.

David reflects on the impact of childhood trauma, family dynamics, and the pursuit of external validation, alongside the lesser-discussed emotional and psychological complexities that can accompany visibility and success. He speaks candidly about fame, personal loss, and the inner reckoning that led him toward emotional healing, spiritual inquiry, and a redefinition of success rooted in alignment rather than achievement.

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.
