Perhaps you’re at a point in your life where you feel stuck or in auto pilot and don’t know what to do about it.

Where time is ticking and you’re feeling like life is passing by.

I know I did, a number of years ago.

Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah… 

This is the sound I heard in that pivotal client meeting 10 + years ago, when I knew deep down, something in my life had to change.

Because I had changed.  

What used to excite me in my advertising career had now been reduced to wordless, monotonous sounds that didn’t cut it on the happiness spectrum.

At all.  

I scanned the room and asked myself,  “What the heck am I doing here?”  

If I died tomorrow, was this how I wanted it to end? Is that what I wanted on my tombstone?  Tina Kulias: advertising producer, delivered top notch results, wasn’t really excited about her job anymore, but didn’t do anything about it? 

Nope.  

Something inside of me said “ It is time to step away. It’s time for the next chapter.  Don’t know what, but this one is over.” 

The hustle, the deadlines, the all-nighters, and for what?  The work simply didn’t bring me joy anymore.  

You know that feeling?  

The one deep inside that tells you there is something better for you, even if you don’t know where or how to begin to figure it out?  

To all you dreamers, the ones who have ambitions but feel stuck and don’t know what to do about it,  I get you.

I know first hand the frustrations you’re feeling, where you know that there is more to life than what you’re experiencing now. 

Hi!  I’m Tina, a compassionate, no BS coach and mentor, here to help you create the life that you really want — now.    

Yes, I was very good at what I did, as I’m sure you probably are at what you do, and that can have an allure of its own.  

“It’s not so bad,” you think, “who am I to want more in life?  Am I being selfish?”  

It’s these thoughts that keep you trapped right where you are in your life, your relationship, your present situation, your _____ fill in the blank.  

It had been a great run. 25 years of an exciting career that now didn’t have the same spark it used to and left me empty, wanting more.  

I tried to convince myself that I was just going through a phase. Deep down, I knew that wasn't true. Perhaps you’re having that feeling right now.  It’s your inner voice, your intuition talking to you, telling you it’s time for a new chapter.   

So without a real plan, I quit.

I quit and embarked on a mission to “find myself.”  To discover what would make me happy down to my core.

I would love to say it was an easy transition, and that everything was yippy skippy.  

It wasn't.  There was a lot of self-doubt, judgement, and stumbling. And pressure from within. 

I realized eventually that you don’t really find yourself, you create yourself, your relationships, your job, your future.  

I did create.

I created a series of failed businesses that bruised my ego and left me discouraged as to my purpose in life.  There was the purse company… the whimsical toy company… both very creative. And both financial flops. 

Of course there were learnings, and still, I didn’t have the answer: my purpose.  

 So here’s what I did next.  

Instead of looking outside, I started to look inside.  

Because here’s the thing, that’s where all the answers are, every single one of them.  

Looking back at my life I saw a theme that kept coming up. I was fascinated with what made us tick as humans. I loved helping people figure out  their problems and was really good at it.   

I was the one that everyone came to with their issues, and left happy, knowing they had come up with solutions. 

Even while I was in “the ad biz” I loved spending hours learning and absorbing personal development, empowerment, mind-body self-help techniques — you name it.  I fell down the rabbit hole of  these eye-opening topics and never looked back. Soon they came front and center in my life, I got certified as a Life Coach and in several mind-body techniques like EFT/ Tapping, and that’s how Create Your Life’s Journey ™ was born.   

You could say I’m a people whisperer!

I have a knack for digging and pulling out what’s deep inside of you, to help you see what has you stuck, so you can uncover what you really want in your life that will make you feel happy and fulfilled.  

That’s my magic power — minus of course, the purple robes and wand.    

I have an innate gift of seeing the potential in each and every person I work with.  I can see the possibilities that are right there in front of you and make sure you see them too.  

I believe that life is too short to be just going through the motions. It doesn’t matter why you are where you are.  What matters is that you do something about it, and I’m guessing that is why you ended up here.  

You owe it to yourself to change your life.  So come on, what are you waiting for?  

Your journey starts now.

3 Things about me:

What is my infatuation with Airstreams?  Mine in particular represents the mindset shift that occurred  which allowed me to buy it before I was much older and retired - the invisible permission sign. When you achieve a certain amount of success, then you can have the Airstream. You will have “arrived”.  What seriously motivated me and instilled a sense of urgency in me, was seeing a loved one wait to buy his dream fishing boat until he was too old and unsteady on his feet, and it was too late. I wasn’t going to let that be me. I don’t get out in my “Airpod” that often,  but when I do, heading out on the open road reminds me that life is meant to be enjoyed. 

After 25 years living in what many people would call Nirvana - Denver, Colorado, USA, my husband and I heeded the stirring in our souls and the call of the wise old saguaros of the Southwestern Desert.  We said goodbye to Denver, sold or gave away a ton of our stuff and started all over again in the Valley of the Sun … Phoenix, Arizona, USA where we now live.  I am now officially a Phoenician -- I can do yard work in 115 F/41 C  without passing out, and I throw on my fuzzy boots when the weather gets a little chilly … like 60 F/25 C.  Sounds like a legit local to me!   

My favorite movie, ever? The French film, Amelie.  I was a little obsessed with it when it first came out.  Ok, really obsessed.  So much in fact, I cut my hair like her and took a trip to Paris to chase down the iconic locations where the movie was shot. Maybe I shouldn’t be admitting this? But hey, what’s not to love about her!  She made it her mission to change everyone’s life.  A girl after my own heart.
