Hey beautiful,

I’m Tina. I write One-Minute Love Letters for women who have spent so long bending, sacrificing, and keeping everyone else afloat that they’ve started to forget themselves.

Maybe you’ve stepped back in your career to make space for someone else. Maybe you’ve carried the emotional load in a relationship.

Always listening, supporting, holding the space, smoothing over stress, keeping everyone else’s world together. Maybe you’ve kept quiet one too many times to keep the peace.

You used to feel like yourself, and now you mostly feel tired, stretched thin, unseen. Giving more and more, yet somehow feeling less and less.

Six years ago, I left my marriage, left the house, and moved onto a boat with my children. It was thrilling, a fresh start, a chance to breathe and rediscover who I was beneath all the roles I had carried for so long.

But over time, I noticed the old patterns creeping back in: doubts, insecurities, the self-doubt that whispered I wasn’t enough. I began to see the parts of myself I had buried, the anger, the sadness, the longing for something that felt real and alive.

That’s when I started noticing myself again.

I prioritised starting an anthropology degree not just to explore new career paths, but to understand myself and the world around me.

What struck me most was how women are quietly set up to fail: told we can “have it all,” yet rarely given the support, space, or tools to do it without losing ourselves. I found myself feeling angry. At the expectations, at the patterns, at the quiet ways we are made to shrink, but that anger became fuel. Fuel to notice myself, reclaim my voice, and believe that it’s possible to build a life that feels truly mine.

I love being an entrepreneur. At first, it felt like a role I had to play, a way to work while raising my children. It took time to slow down, try other things and see what I genuinely enjoy. Now, I embrace creating, building, and exploring ideas that excite me — without the pressure of proving myself.

These letters are my way of helping women pause, breathe, and notice themselves again.

They’re for the quiet frustration, the loneliness, the overwhelm, the longing for something more. They’re for the small victories, the moments of clarity, and the gentle reminders that your needs matter. That it’s okay to want more.

That you can take up space without guilt. That life isn’t about losing yourself in roles, it’s about discovering the woman who’s been there all along.

I don’t write these letters because I have all the answers. I write them because I’ve lived the questions. Because I know how lonely it can feel to forget that your needs matter, and how powerful it is to start noticing them again.

With love and unapologetic honesty,

Tina x
