Bridge the Gap Between Knowing and Living to

Cultivate a Life with more Soul, Sass & Substance

Welcome to The Badass Arts™ 

Welcome Beautiful One! I’m Tina, founder of The Badass Arts™.

If you've ever rolled your eyes mid-meditation or felt secretly broken because your "practice" didn't stick, we're soul sisters.

After a few too many lung-heaving, knee-buckling experiences, I was tired. Tired of life, tired of shallow and performative solutions, tired of ‘Shelf-Help” (you know what I mean!) and tired of repeating the same mistakes. I didn't want to spend another year room-mating with regret.

I wanted a life that was bigger than my fears and truer than my excuses.

As Anaïs Nin wrote:

"And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom."

That day came for me.

The years that followed changed how I understood personal growth, transformation, and manifestation, and why insight rarely changes a life.

This is how The Badass Arts™, along with the framework I now call The Badass Method™, were born.

Women Over 40 Aren't Losing Their Ambition—They're Evolving It

My first national commentary with Boundless Media explores why women appear burned out, but I don't believe they're losing their ambition.

Something deeper is happening, and it's inviting women to become more intentional about where they invest their time, talent, and treasure.

The women drawn to The Badass Arts™ tend to have a few things in common.

They’re smart, capable, and emotionally aware, often better at giving advice than following it. They know more than they’re living.

They may not trust other women as easily as they want to, even though they are usually the first to celebrate another woman’s success.

They have a strong connection to something greater than themselves and little patience for spiritual bypassery and surface-level platitudes.

They are wise and tender, playful and deep, practical and mystical.

If you're reading this and thinking, "Well, damn..." welcome.

Step Into the Room

Most of us spend our days talking about schedules, responsibilities, work, family, and the endless logistics of life.

But every once in a while, a different conversation happens.

Someone says something honest.

Someone else nods.

A third woman laughs and says, "Oh my gosh, me too."

And suddenly you realize you're not the only one carrying that thought, that fear, or that dream.

That's why I created The Badass Arts™ Salons.

If you’re wondering what this looks like, step into the room.

Spots are intentionally limited to 10 women per evening.

I left with clarity I could feel … and it didn’t just stay in my mind. It stayed in my body in a way I could use. I can’t wait for the next Salon.
