Welcome to The Badass Arts™

Ever felt like you've done a lifetime of personal growth work, but somehow, still repeating the same mistakes and exhausted by it all?

We may be soul sisters.

Because all the insight in the world doesn't heal the wounds or bridge the gap between what you know and how you live, especially when the shift hits the fan.

That’s where the transformative ideas, practices, and delightfully weird language of The Badass Arts™ come in.

Through healing work, heartfelt conversations, and soul searching sprinkled with dashes of badassery, we work on interrupting old patterns, taming those Doubt Goblins™, and learning how to get better at choosing better, so your life feels more like the one you are called to live.

So where do you go from here?

Speaking and Events for Organizations in Greater Houston

Audiences are drowning in information and starving for meaning.

The last thing your audience needs is another inspiring presentation they'll forget by Monday. You want people engaged, challenged, and walking away with practical tools they can use immediately to improve communication, make better decisions, and change the patterns that undermine their personal and professional success.

I bring behavioral insight, storytelling, soul and sass to conferences, leadership events, retreats and community gatherings.

You get personal development with a practical payoff: stronger self-awareness, better decisions, more effective communication, and tools people can use immediately to change how they lead, work and relate.

Let’s create something people will remember and use to change what they do next.

Workshops in Greater Houston

The Badass Arts™ offers personal development workshops for those who are ready to make meaningful changes in their lives.

You're smart, capable, and emotionally aware. You're often better at giving advice than following it, and you can probably recognize your own patterns better than most.

You're wise and tender, playful and deep, practical and spiritual.

You have little patience for shallow answers or the same old outcomes. You yearn for the magic without the magical thinking. And you're tired of personal growth that feels like performance: saying the right things, buying the books, making the vision boards, doing the practices, and still ending up in the same damn place.

If you're reading this and thinking, "Well, damn..." welcome. Come see the kinds of workshops facilitated by The Badass Arts™.

Testimonials

"I didn’t expect to feel so seen by women I had just met. There is something quietly revolutionary about choosing to show up for yourself… truly show up… and Tina creates the exact space that makes that possible. She guided us through one of the most layered, soul-level conversations I’ve had—chemistry, desire, the stories we tell ourselves—with a grace that comes from someone who has done her own deep work. The vulnerability in that room was real. The bonds were instant. And the laughter… the kind that only happens when women finally feel safe enough to be honest. The Badass Arts Salon gave me permission to take that time for myself… and it didn’t just stay in my mind. It stayed in my body." workshop attendee
"Tina was our guest speaker at our Hadassah Spring Event, and what she created was simple, powerful, and deeply memorable. Her command of the subject matter and ability to convey the message was outstanding. I highly recommend Tina to lead your workshop or event." Hara Cohen Philanthropist and Hadassah Co-Chair, San Diego
"Tina is a rare voice of lived wisdom. She doesn’t just talk about growth and purpose. She embodies it. Her insight comes not from books or theory, but from life fully lived, felt, and transformed." Kellan Fluckiger Host, Your Ultimate Life Podcast, Motivational Speaker, Business Coach and Best-Selling Author
“Tina’s presentation opened my eyes in a way I didn’t expect. The way she explained how appreciation grounds us and connects us to what actually matters has stayed with me ever since. I left with a deeper awareness, a renewed sense of presence, and a genuine shift in how I move through my days. Tina has a rare gift for helping people see meaning and beauty in places they’ve overlooked. I am genuinely better for having experienced her work." Workshop attendee
"“I came to Tina struggling to leave a painful relationship while still longing for real love. She helped me heal, understand my needs, reconnect with myself, and open to love in a peaceful, grounded way. Her guidance is gentle, wise, and deeply intuitive. I now feel emotionally safe, clear, and able to receive love in ways I never could before. I recommend her wholeheartedly." private client
