Between the mess and the miracle,
there’s The Badass Arts
Interrupt the patterns holding you back
so you can live with more soul & sass

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.

Why Friendship Loss Can Hurt as Much as Losing a Partner
In this commentary with Boundless Media, I explore friendship grief, an ache often overlooked even though it leaves millions to mourn one of life's most profound losses in silence.
Speaking and Events
Audiences are drowning in information and starving for meaning.
Whether you're planning a conference, retreat, leadership event, association meeting, podcast, or community gathering, conversations can be tailored to meet the moment.
Let’s create a different kind of experience with some badassery thrown in the mix.
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.

The Salon Series is Now:
The Studio Sessions
Introducing The Badass Arts™ Studio Sessions
Been to a Badass Arts™ Salon before? This is different.
The Salon is becoming the Studio: a small-group, immersive class experience.
You will still find warmth, laughter, truth-telling, and connection.
But each Studio Session is built around a specific teaching, a guided practice, and a takeaway you can use in your real life.
I am teaching The Badass Arts™.
The art of badassery.
The art of recognizing the patterns that hold you back and learning how to respond with more self-trust, courage, clarity, soul, and sass.
This is where you stop collecting insight, start living it, and take that badassery back into your real life.
