Trier Leva

"Lady Blakeinator"

Chief Operating Officer

As the COO and wife of "The Blakeinator", Trier brings both professional leadership and deeply personal insight to the work she does.

Her perspective has been shaped by walking alongside her husband through addiction and recovery over the last 10 years. That journey taught her firsthand how to love someone in the middle of struggle-- the uncertainty, the resilience required and the hope for healing through faith.

​

Because of her experiences, she leads with empathy, clarity and compassion. She understands the emotional weight families carry, the complexity of addiction, and the strength it takes to navigate recovery together.

Her work is driven by a commitment to authenticity, accountability and creating spaces where people feel seen, supported and empowered to move forward.

​

Outside of her professional role, She enjoys spending quality time with her husband and beautiful baby girl, going out to eat at restaurants, being outdoors when the weather is warm and winding down with a cup of tea and a good movie. These moments ground her and remind her of the importance of connection, balance and presence.
