Welcome to The Badass Arts™
Appreciate your way into a bigly life where doubt softens, dreams rise, and you manifest with sass and soul.
Appreciate.
Feel.
Connect.
Create.
Manifest Bigly.
Appreciate. Feel. Connect. Create. Manifest Bigly.
Welcome to The Badass Arts™
Appreciation is a quiet superpower. Practice it with intention and watch your life align and transform in beautiful, surprising, marvelous ways.
How can I make such an audacious claim? Because we are not so different, you and me.
Maybe you are the mom who is tired of carrying it all (and quietly longs to feel supported). The empty nester aching for meaning (because the worries never diminish). The woman wondering if love still wants you (and when the next date might finally be the last first one). The seeker side-eying spiritual bypassery (because growth is more than mood boards and mantras).
The truth is this: we all have Bigly Dreams that deserve a road map. Here, you will learn to channel Appreciation into real and meaningful change to begin manifesting bigly with sass and soul.
This is where the mess and the miracle hold hands. Where you bio-rewire your beliefs, reconnect to Source, and manifest the life you desire with Sass and Soul.
And The Badass Arts™ lights the way, so you can quiet the doubt, connect to Source, and move through midlife with more clarity, joy, and creative fire.
But first, we 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.
Keep at it, and maybe you’ll manifest the life you desire.
This is why I call Gratitude the Great Gaslighter.
“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 (What’s a Doubt Goblin? I explain this in the free gift for subscribers) with practices that work in the chaos and beauty of real life … not just the polished version of it.
The Badass Arts™ begins where gratitude is released as performative and appreciation is embraced as transformative.
I created this movement for women like us.
Together, we learn how to bio-rewire old patterns and co-create a life that actually feels like yours (imagine becoming a specific manifestor!?).

Appreciation is how we turn our attention toward what’s working, what’s possible, and what’s beautiful right now.
It’s how we stop asking, “Why me?” and start saying, “Thank you, I see it.” When that happens, something shifts. The Doubt Goblins lose their hold.
God, Source, the Divine, whatever name fits your heart, feels closer.
This is why I call Appreciation the Great Amplifier. It circumvents the noise and aligns you to the creative powers within.
Now, if you’re wondering, “Wait, what is a Doubt Goblin? Oh, you’ll meet them soon enough. :) Subscribers get a little something to get a head start on hushing their Doubt Goblins.
Your inbox deserves meaning.
Thank you for subscribing to The Badass Arts™ monthly newsletter (honestly, that’s about as often as I can create something worthy of your inbox).
As my thank you, receive your first simple practice, Tame Your Doubt Goblins, a playful way to hush self-doubt and strengthen your inner badass.

Appreciation is the Heartbeat
If Appreciation is the heartbeat, The Badass Method is the rhythm.
Appreciation is the foundation because it’s active.
It’s alchemical.
It changes how you think, how you live, and who you become.
This is where neuroscience, somatics, and soul dance. It transforms soulful intention into everyday action, how we live bigly instead of just talking about it.
No matter your story, this method helps you feel steadier, clearer, and more aligned in body, mind and heart.

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.
