Meet Tina Bernard: The Badass Behind the Badass Arts.
Before I was a coach, a founder, or a movement maker, I was a woman surviving and healing.
I could start this section in third person, something like: “Tina Bernard is a visionary founder, spiritual disruptor, and midlife muse…”
But let’s be real. That version of me didn’t rise from a glossy magazine spread. She rose from grief, grit, and grace that did not come easy.
I’m Tina. A woman who’s lived through loss, trauma, and the kind of tragedies that don’t fit neatly into a bio.
I was a single mom. I’ve experienced domestic violence. I know the fear of a chaotic childhood, raised by a mother navigating her own emotional wounds.
These experiences shaped me, but they didn’t define me. They refined me.
I’m on my third marriage and I finally got it right. It took me until my 50s to understand what real love is. Turns out, love is not a feeling. It’s a verb. It’s showing up, staying soft, choosing grace, and doing the work with someone who’s willing to do it with you.
I’ve saved money, lost it all, and depleted my resources to feed my children. I’ve worked for great bosses who believed in me and shitty ones who overlooked me.
I’ve picked myself up by the bra straps more times than I can count. And each time, I came back louder, softer, wiser, and more unapologetically me.
The Badass Arts: A Reclamation and An Awakening
The Badass Arts was born from that fire. It’s not just a brand. It's an awakening.
A movement for women who are done shrinking and silencing themselves.
Here, we celebrate the power of appreciation as a spiritual practice, self-expression as sacred, and midlife as a portal rather than a plateau.
I blend neuroscience, storytelling, lived experience, and soul work to help women live boldly with sass, reverence, and radical self-love.
Whether you’re here for the workshops, the book, or the quiet revolution of living life on your own terms, know this:
You’re not alone.
You’re not too much.
And you’re not too late.
Welcome to The Badass Arts. Let’s rise.
