Have you ever looked back at who you were years ago and thought… oh. Maybe the signs were always there.

In this episode of Tina’s Tea, I’m going backward before I go forward—from teenage me and a very serious fight over a recorded Buffy/Angel crossover 😂 to my lifelong fascination with vampires, Anne Rice, Bigfoot, the paranormal, true crime, and all the things that existed just outside the explanation of “normal.”

I talk about how those interests eventually intersected with spirituality, tarot, shadow work, and my own awakening—and how some things I once loved even started to feel different afterward.

Was younger me somehow preparing for the person I’d eventually become? Or have I simply always been curious about what exists beyond what we can see and explain?

Probably a little of both.

Grab your tea and come hang out. This one wanders—but somehow, it all connects. ☕✨

Tina’s Tea — real stories, random rabbit holes, and whatever comes up along the way.

Apparently, I have a podcast now. ☕️

I’m Tina—46, single mom of four, animal mom of seven, and someone who feels like she’s lived about 17 different lives already.

In this first episode of Tina’s Tea, I’m introducing myself the only way I know how: honestly. We’re talking motherhood, relationships, surviving some really hard chapters, religion, spirituality, my awakening, starting over, and why I finally decided I’m ready to tell my stories.

This isn’t a perfectly polished podcast, and I don’t want it to be. I’m figuring it out as I go—and inviting you along for the ride.

There will be laughter. There will be trauma and triumph. There will definitely be some woo-woo. And trust me… there’s plenty more tea to come.
