About Tina
Writer, speaker, and the founder of SelfPermission.com.
But this space? This is just me. No polished mission statement.
No tagline. Just the work I’m still doing, the questions I’m still asking, and the truths I’m still unfolding.
For years, I said yes.
Yes to expectations.
Yes to roles I didn’t question.
Yes to a version of success that made sense—until it didn’t.
At some point, we all find ourselves in the space between - the moment where the past no longer fits, but the future isn’t clear yet. The world will tell you to push through it, force clarity, keep saying yes.
But what if you didn’t?
What if you paused long enough to ask: Is this even mine to carry?
That’s the vision, real conversations with woman about trusting yourself, reclaiming what’s yours, and making choices from self-permission —not pressure.
The Impact
This isn't just about saying no more often or creating better boundaries. It's about fundamentally changing how women view their right to choose. When one woman claims her permission, it creates a ripple effect - inspiring others to do the same.

I envision a world where women stop asking for permission and start claiming it - where every choice comes from a place of unshakeable self-trust. Where choosing yourself isn't selfish, it's essential. Where one woman's courage to say YES to herself creates a ripple, showing others they can do the same. Not someday. Not when it's convenient. Now.
My Journey
You’re so good at this
- you should do it forever...
It was meant to be a compliment. But instead, it felt like a cage.
I had built a career helping businesses find their voice, crafting brands that connected, shaping identities that stood out. But somewhere along the way, I had silenced my own.
I had mastered the art of showing up for everyone else,until I realized I had stopped showing up for myself.
That moment of clarity didn’t come with easy answers. It came with a pause. With a decision to stop pushing and start listening. To stop proving and start choosing.
Now, my work isn’t about teaching others what to do. It’s about creating space for women to hear themselves again.
Through my books, writing, and speaking, I help women navigate the space between —that pause before action, that moment before a reflexive yes, that breath before a decision that shapes everything.
Not by giving answers, but by reminding you:
- You already know what’s right for you.
- You don’t need permission to change.
- The space between hesitation and action is yours to use.
