Manifest the Life and Love You Desire
Bigly Dreams. Grounded Practices. Shifts that Stick.
Welcome to The Badass Arts™
You’ve done so much inner work. How is this any different?
Insight alone doesn’t change a life. What builds a life that feels meaningful and allows love that nurtures you is what you practice, embody, and live, day after day.
Maybe you’re the tired mom who longs to feel more supported, the empty nester aching for meaning, the woman wondering when the next date might will be the last first one, or the seeker side-eyeing spiritual bypassery, because you know growth is more than mood boards and mantras.
The truth is this: we all have bigly dreams that deserve a road map.
The Badass Arts™ is where mindfulness and somatic practices merge. Where the mess and miracles hold hands. Where you learn to bio-rewire beliefs, reconnect to Source, and manifest the life you desire with sass and soul.
Would you like to move through midlife with more clarity, joy, and creative fire? If the answer is yes, I’m going to invite you to first unlearn gratitude.

If this stirs something in you, you’re not alone.
It took me years to understand that gratitude and appreciation are not the same, though they’re often used interchangeably to mean “thanks.”
As practiced today, much of what we’ve been taught about gratitude and mindfulness feels like emotional bypassing dressed in virtue and unmet promises. It’s the journals you never read again, the vision boards that fade, the affirmations that ring hollow.
For too many, these practices have become spiritual cosplay, a performance of peace instead of a practice of presence. This is why I sometimes call gratitude the Great Gaslighter.
I’m not against gratitude. I’m interested in what helps women feel alive and happy beyond the mantras and mood boards.
“The Badass Arts™ began as a yearning for what had vanished, a quiet hope that there was still time to make life feel meaningful, beautiful, and full of bigly dreams again.” Tina Bernard
Beyond the Mantras and the Mood Boards
If you’ve ever rolled your eyes mid-meditation or felt secretly broken because your “practice” didn’t stick, we’re soul sisters.
The problem isn’t you and it isn’t me. It’s trying to quiet Doubt Goblins when life feels chaotic.
The Badass Arts™ begins where gratitude is released as performative and appreciation is embraced as transformative. This is why I call appreciation the Great Amplifier.
I created this movement for women like us. Together, we learn how to rewire old patterns and build a life that feels authentic.
Appreciation: The Great Amplifier
Appreciation is how you turn your attention toward what’s working, what’s possible, and what’s beautiful right now. It’s the shift from focusing on what’s missing to noticing what’s unfolding, from “why not me?” to “thank you, I see it.”
When this shift happens, your Doubt Goblins lose their hold, not because they disappear, but because they’re no longer running the show.
In The Badass Arts™, appreciation is the foundation because it’s active. It changes how you think, how you live, and who you become. This is where neuroscience, somatics, and soul meet.
No matter your story, this approach helps you build a life that actually feels like yours.
The Spark Behind the Movement
Welcome. I’m Tina, founder of The Badass Arts™.
I did not set out to create a movement. I set out to find and heal myself after a few too many lung-heaving, knee-buckling disappointments and disasters.
What I found instead was Appreciation. A practice deceptively simple. A living, breathing way of being that changed how I saw myself, my life, and what is possible.
That practice evolved into The Badass Arts™, where science meets soul and where self-trust grows. A place where women remember what they are made of and who they are here to become.
A return to Source. A return to Self.
What comes next is your choice.
