Before embarking on her journey as a certified life coach, tina spent an impressive three decades in corporate America serving as an executive assistant. This extensive background enriches her coaching with a unique depth of insight and practical wisdom. Welcome, tina. So, if you don't mind just telling everyone a little bit about yourself, oh, I always get interested when this question comes up.

Tina C. Hines: 2:18

I'm like, oh, what part do I share?

Rose: 2:19

Well, I would love for you to share your background of how you came out of the corporate environment as well. I think that's a really important piece of information that can inspire everyone.

Tina C. Hines: 2:31

Yeah, so, originally from New Jersey, currently live in Morocco, and I always like to say mother of one, spouse of none. And I spent over 30 years in corporate America till one day I realized that I was so busy taking care of everybody else and I forgot to take care of me. I just decided to take a leap, and I leaped without a safety net because, although I love the individual that I was supporting, because my my background is as was an executive assistant, working in corporate no longer brought me joy and I wanted to be in spaces where I could make an up, close and personal impact with women, and that's part of the reason why I started coaching in the middle of my corporate career. In addition to that, I am an intuitive. I am a fifth generation healer, intuitive, clairvoyant, medium and empath, and that came to the surface while I was in the middle of my corporate career.

Tina C. Hines: 3:40

Most people knew when they were younger, were children. I didn't find out till I was 40 that I had all of these magical gifts. It's amazing what happens when you get quiet and spirit takes you down with something like depression to allow you to listen more and get more in tune. And so I just love being in spaces where I am helping or supporting women who are on their own personal journey of healing and being unapologetic. And yeah, that's basically me in a small little nutshell.

Rose: 4:20

Wow, I know there's more. There's's more. I really want to know more. So a lot of women don't feel that they are intuitively guided or have special magical gifts, as you discovered. Can you talk about how that story I think that story is really important, I've heard it on other podcasts and how you discovered your, your magical gifts?

Tina C. Hines: 4:44

Yeah. So how it all started was, again, I had suffered from clinical depression and you know, in life we are consistently busy. There's a lot of noise externally and internally. The depression allowed me to get quiet. In the midst of that, I started doing Reiki and I like to call it my Reiki girl. My Reiki girl, victoria, was working with me and we had done a Reiki session and I'm like, after we had finished the meditation, I, I I came set up and I'm crying because I'm like I'm seeing my grandmothers around me and I don't know why.

Tina C. Hines: 5:26

So I went on this exploratory journey with family members, asking them if there were anyone in our family who had gifts and I was sharing, and my mom's the oldest of 10, but nobody would tell me anything. And it wasn't until one of my my aunts encouraged me to go talk to my grandmother's niece, who still is alive today, 92 years young, and I went and talked to her and I said I really need to pick your brain and she's why what's going on. And I said well, I think I'm going crazy and I might need to go to the. So but I was told to come and ask you and she's like okay, ask me what I says well, I had a vision and I saw Nana, who was my mother, and I saw your mother and her mother and my grandmother were sisters. And I said I saw a grandmommy. And I said I saw some woman, I don't know who she is. And she says I saw a grandmommy. And I said I saw some woman, I don't know who she is, and she says well, describe her to me. And I started describing her and she goes oh, that's your great, great grandma, jenny. You're just like her and I've been waiting for you. And that's how I was introduced to my gift.

Tina C. Hines: 6:38

And so she shared this with me. And then she proceeded. She was you know. She explained a little bit more about it. Uh, my grandmother was actually a dreamer, and what was great is, um, one of my aunts had my grandmother's journal. She had I think it was either two or three journals that my grandmother had written dreams in, and so I was the first person in the family to actually read those journals. Um, I am the firstborn grandchild on my grandmother's side of my mother and it typically the gift is in the first child.

Tina C. Hines: 7:13

Uh, looks like what. What I'm viewing is the first female child. Um, so that part helped me gain a little bit of clarity about the gift and understanding everybody. My cousin's mother, her mother could heal people, could lay hands on and heal people, and I consistently get these visions, and so whenever I had a vision that had to do with our family, I would go to ask her, because she has been there the longest and she would have some familiarity with it, and so I never feared it. I really started leaning into it. Victoria, my Reiki girl, was the most supportive vessel that I could have during that time because she was someone who helped me understand what I was experiencing. But again, I still was going through the depression, so I'm still teetering between the two. So I was also working with a therapist at the same time and what's so great was the therapist understood it and I had gone through.

Tina C. Hines: 8:22

Let's say, I interviewed five therapists. Wow, the first four got terminated. However, the last therapist I spoke when I reached out to him, I was very honest in the beginning because I was like, you know, I'm experiencing something. I don't know what it is and I've never experienced depression before, but I never knew what the awakening was either. So I'm toying with both of them. That's why I'm like I'm thinking I'm going crazy, but I need to go to the hospital. So he, he, reached out to me and one thing he said to me then this is a word that I use with my coaching clients as well I, he said I don't want you to do anything except flow. That's all I want you to do. I just want you to flow. I just want you to breathe and flow through everything until we get the opportunity to see one another. So I walked into his office and the first thing I saw was a sound bowl. And that's when I knew he was the right therapist for me. We meditated before each session.

Tina C. Hines: 9:26

So as I became more comfortable with him, I says well, I need to share something with you because I'm still holding this other piece in. And he says sure, I said, but you have to promise me you're not going to commit me in a hospital. And he's like why would I commit you in a hospital? I was like you just have to promise me. And he says well, why would I commit you in the hospital? I was like you just have to promise me. And he says well, let me ask the question Are you going to hurt someone? And I go no, I'm too pretty for jail. And he goes are you going to hurt yourself? And I go no, I love me. And he's like okay, then I can probably guarantee I'm not going to put you in the hospital. I was like okay, you promise. And he's like I promise, tina. I was like great.

Tina C. Hines: 10:10

I said so well, I'm seeing my grandmother and her sister and her mother and her grandmother, and you know I see them. And he goes oh well, that's nice. And I go huh, you promise you're not going to put me in the hospital. He's like I promise I'm not going to put you in the hospital. Why, I said it's because they're dead. And he goes well, that's beautiful, tina. And I'm like it is. I'm not crazy. He goes no, that's beautiful.

Rose: 10:49

How comforting.

Tina C. Hines: 10:50

Yeah.

Rose: 10:53

Love that.

Tina C. Hines: 10:55

And even as we worked through my healing I it wasn't primarily focused on that because I had Victoria for that, but I just needed to express it because I'm like dealing with two challenges at the same time and uncertain of how to navigate them, and so it was great to have the perfect resources in place to support me.

Rose: 11:24

Yeah, oh yeah. That's so important. That's a beautiful story too. You know. It's nice, first, that you were very discerning and that you chose your therapist and didn't just accept whoever came, because that could have been, you could have been in a totally different direction, correct. In a totally different direction, correct. You acknowledge that you were not well, not feeling well, and that you got help as well and you had self-compassion for yourself. Yeah, and you also, you were exploring this new found, like you said, awakening, which is beautiful. But I sense that there was some. You were hesitant to share that story, and a lot of women, I don't think, accept those parts of themselves that are intuitive, and that's why some women say, well, I don't think I'm intuitive, I'm like you are. You just need to open up and explore it and trust, and we don't.

Tina C. Hines: 12:22

We hide those parts of ourselves that are our authentic self, like your gifts were to you I think part of the reason that, depending on who you are and how you were raised and I know for me there was this space where there was a little bit of dis-ease being raised in a in a religious household. Um, my, my, my, my great grandfather was a Pentecostal minister and we spent a lot of time in church, so we didn't really talk about having these types of gifts. It wasn't like we're sitting at the dining room table having these conversations and my mother, who is still alive, is a minister. So when you look at these gifts although some people look at them if they're in the, let's say, the more religious versus spiritual space, if you say it's prophetic, then it's okay. But if you say you're psychoclearvoyant or any other of those labels that we utilize, they say it's evil, and so you struggle with that.

Tina C. Hines: 13:30

And there was a small moment where I struggled with this. It's like, is this going against what God has put together? And you know I call God, I call it Gus, god, universe, source, that's what I call it, gus. I'm chilling with Gus and I choose not to put a label on it. You call whomever you serve. That's who you serve. I just say I got my gift from a higher power.

Tina C. Hines: 13:57

I choose not to put a label on it and I think that's one component, one of many components that people are struggling with, struggling between their faith and this experience, because sometimes it is looked at as evil, as dark. And you know I spend a lot of time on social media, primarily the clock, and we talk about this. It comes up and I share with people. I said, first of all, there is nothing evil or dark inside of me. I illuminate light and I don't believe in the devil and I don't believe in demons. I believe there are devilish people, I believe there are demonic people. I don't let them have a scapegoat. You do something wrong, you did that evil thing. I'm not saying, well, this is the devil or this is demonic and I'm like, but this is for me and I'm not trying to impose my perceptions on anybody else, but I'm just sharing who I am. I am light. There's nothing dark about anything I do.

Rose: 15:15

I love that. That's beautiful, beautiful. So you use your gifts to help others. How do you do that? How do you help others with your gifts?

Tina C. Hines: 15:28

So it is a lot about healing, and it's not just physical healing, emotional healing, spiritual healing. The services that I offer in addition to my coaching are energy clearing, energy healing sessions, where most people view it as Reiki. However, I am not a certified Reiki practitioner. I have developed my gift through spirit, through my grandmothers, because the one message and download I consistently get was we learned by doing there were no books and is the exact same way that we are guiding you. We want you to learn by doing so. I do that. I do distance intuitive readings with oracle cards, um and my mediumship, I connect loved ones um with their, with their, with their. I connect clients with their loved ones who have transitioned and with my coaching, I'm tapping into some of the self-defeating behaviors that an individual may have, like self-doubt, fear and identifying what the root cause of it is. We can't change what happened. However, we can access the tools to navigate our lives differently in spite of what has happened, and that is one of the areas where I support my clients in trying to tap into what the root cause is. So, for example, recently I was having a conversation with someone and they were sharing that they struggled with detachment, and the conversation kept tapping into past present versus way back, when they kept talking about things that happened in the past present, and I was like no, this is a little bit deeper. And I said so, let's go back to other things that have transpired, where you felt this come to the surface.

Tina C. Hines: 17:33

And as they started going backwards and identifying particular situations that had transpired in their life, I'm like so there it is. You had this experience where you had to step away from someone and in your mind perhaps you thought that if you had stayed, you could have saved them. And I'm like and there's nothing you could have done differently to save them. So can you allow yourself to hold on to the time before everything happened? Allow yourself to hold on to the time before everything happened and recognize that you had this moment with them where you got to have that last laugh, that last conversation, and that was the key piece that you can hold on to, not that you weren't there.

Tina C. Hines: 18:24

When they transition, and I said so there's where you're struggling with that detachment. And they were like I never thought about it that way and I said so. Now let's see how this plays out in other areas that you mentioned to me. So when we're coaching, I take them to places, but I don't want them to stay there. I take them there so we can get the root cause of the situation and then we can move forward and start working through it.

Rose: 18:52

Wow, that's that's. I love that. That's an amazing approach. I've never heard anyone struggle with detachment. That was the first time I've ever heard that. I've heard you say you know you work with people with self-doubt and fear. Are these some of the common, some of the other common struggles that you work with women?

Tina C. Hines: 19:11

Fear is a very big one it's, and typically when I'm when fear comes up, and especially when they try to pull in the whole my metaphysical side, my readings, the fear is the fear of the unknown. And I always, whenever someone says, oh, I just fear the unknown, and I'm like, oh, here we go again. And I says, because guess what? Everything that has transpired in your life has been unknown. You didn't know it before it happened, I says you probably had a plan of what you were going to do. So simple example, because I like simplicity. I'm like you say I'm going to get out of the bed and I'm going to go to the bathroom. You get out of the bed, you stump your toe, you go to the bathroom. The unknown part was stumping your toe. You didn't know it was going to happen. So you don't, we don't know what's going to happen until it, until it actually happens and I said so in everyday life, you don't know what's exactly going to happen. You make an assumption of what's going to happen, whether your job, whatever happens with your job, whatever happens in your relationships, you have a guesstimate of what could possibly happen happens. And when it comes to doing readings, I always tell people, I says.

Tina C. Hines: 20:46

I readers are all unique in their own way. We all have certain types of gifts. I was like my gift taps into not giving you the full answer but guiding you to the answer. So when you ask me, tina, can you tell me X, Y and Z if this is going to happen? And my reading would be more of? I'm guiding you to the answer so you can tap into it. Because if I say, go down the street, make a left-hand turn and you're going to see a man with a hat, you might go down the street. Well, I don't want to see the man with the hat, so I'm going to make a right-hand turn. So I'm not telling you all this, because that means I'm making a decision on your behalf. I don't want to make a decision on your behalf. The decision is always up to you. So I guide you towards the answer, versus me telling you exactly what's going to happen.

Rose: 21:38

You're empowering women more that way.

Tina C. Hines: 21:40

Yes, yeah, I'm empowering them to take ownership of their own stuff.

Rose: 21:51

Their own life Right. I mean, it's understandable that we need someone to talk to, to help guide us out of this fear based or self doubt, just to give us another perspective. Just like how you were able to help that other person who felt these detached feelings, you gave her this totally different perspective. So people like yourselves to connect with women's energy and to guide them is what we need. We need women helping other women.

Tina C. Hines: 22:13

Yes, most definitely.

Rose: 22:14

Yeah, and there is this uprising, a lot of younger women helping other women. I mean, there's a connection all over the world, this divine goddess uprising. I love that. It's beautiful and I'm glad I'm a part of it. You know, now we didn't have that. I didn't have that when I was younger. But it's happening now and it's beautiful, wouldn't you?

Tina C. Hines: 22:38

say I wholeheartedly agree. Just to see this, the evolution of how we are more freeing and we feel more free and comfortable enough to have these discussions where probably in the past it was more secretive because it wasn't, it was, it's considered woo woo, so it wasn't a space where a lot of people were having these discussions. Again, depending on when you grew up, it was, you know, it was shunned.

Rose: 23:10

You talk a lot about being unapologetic. I know you're my intro and I want to you. Can you expand on that for us?

Tina C. Hines: 23:19

You know it takes me back to my corporate days. I started in corporate America as a senior in high school. So I went straight from high school to working at a pharmaceutical company a high profile pharmaceutical company and I know this company helped bring me into the woman that I am, this amazing woman that I am, and I don't fault it. However, as I focused on following the path that most people say get a good job, you stay there. You get married, you stay there. Well, the marriage didn't happen, and you do all these things and you stay.

Tina C. Hines: 24:03

And then, when you're in corporate, sometimes you start to conform to that corporate white collar style, to that corporate white collar style, and when I left corporate, when I leaked, it was like I took a breath of fresh air, like I could speak without a filter, without the fear of the saying what you do, just enough not to quit and just enough not to get fired. There were so many days I wanted to do something that would get me fired, and so sometimes we just don't allow our voices to be heard, even in relationships. We're so busy making sure that everybody is comfortable and we don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. And I had to flip that around and ask well, does that mean it's okay for you to be uncomfortable so they can be comfortable? And that's what I talk about.

Tina C. Hines: 25:04

Being unapologetic about it, I'm like allow your voice to be heard. Tap, tap, tap on the throat chakra. Open it up and allow your voice to be heard. It's you, number one. You're not going to be heard. Tap, tap, tap on the throat chakra. Open it up and allow your voice to be heard. It's number one. You're not going to please everybody, you're not going to make them happy, and speaking your truth is you, is your form of also self-care or soul care, because you're being honest and transparent with yourself. Honest and transparent with yourself. And reading some books by Don Miguel Ruiz. One of them, it says there are two halves to every relationship your half and their half. You are only responsible for your half, you're not responsible for theirs. So I'm responsible for the words that come out of my mouth. I'm not responsible for how you choose to receive them.

Rose: 25:57

I'm unapologetic about it. I wish I can be like that. I struggle with that. I love that, though I think a lot of women struggle with that. I work with women, a lot of women, whose throat chakras are always blocked. We're not comfortable saying what we want to say, and then that really closes us off. It not closes just our heart, our our throats, but our hearts, yeah, you know and, depending on the age demographic, you have to think.

Tina C. Hines: 26:24

growing up, some people were in households where it was. You don't speak until you're spoken to, so you, you stop, and certain things that you would say were unacceptable so you stop. So many times we, we weren't given a voice, so we don't talk, and that means we have to unlearn certain things, certain, and go on this journey of self-discovery.

Tina C. Hines: 27:00

I was sharing some resources earlier today, and one of them was the Voice of Knowledge by Don Miguel Ruiz, and in the Voice of Knowledge, he talks about taking this journey to get to know him outside of his parents, who raised him and had expectations. His grandparents he was surrounded with the teachers he had when he went to college, high school and university. He says all of these people were telling me who I was supposed to be, but deep down inside I didn't know who I was, and so I had to go on this journey of exploration and as I was going through my healing, I'm going to pin for one second. The thing that lifted me up was going through the depression. Most people would view it from the negative perspective. Yes, it was negative.

Tina C. Hines: 27:54

However, I don't live in it. I choose not to live in it. I have to think about the positive, what came out on the other side of it, and that's where I started doing my meditation. That's where I had a friend of mine connected me with what Deepak Chopra was doing, and you know asking that question, that big question we all hear is who am I? And when we start listing the labels of who, all these hats that we wear somewhere, we lose ourselves in the midst of it, and so I've been very unapologetic with the woman that I have evolved. I know all of the experiences that were had served a purpose for right now, but gone are the days of me biting my tongue to save somebody else's. I need to save myself, because no one else is going to save me. I have to save me.

Rose: 28:53

Amen. I agree that that's what I.

Tina C. Hines: 28:56

when I'm working with clients, I'm like I'm I'm helping you save yourself. So there are going to be a lot of people in your family who's going to be mad at me and wonder what happened to her. Who is this? What happened? What did you do to my mother or my sister or whatever I was like? But I'm encouraging you to allow your voice to be heard. However, it works for you, not for me. So you have to go within yourself of what you feel you need for you, and then that's what we work on. So we start by pulling back the layers and going back to where it all began.

Rose: 29:33

You must see such amazing transformations in women, like just from where they start, where you start with them, to where they wind up, and it's a continuous journey.

Tina C. Hines: 29:55

But I'm sure that you've seen just some amazing transformations, some liberation. So, yes, I love that word right there liberation. There has been so much liberation. Um, I can remember one of my clients, and what I was so happy for her was that she had a very supportive spouse and when we started working together, she would show up rain no, when I would, because she was in new york and she would always show up for herself and to watch the evolution of not just the emotional weight that she started to lose, but she was also losing physical weight because so much had been weighing on her.

Tina C. Hines: 30:35

She was someone who had, for years, had gone to therapy and decided that she wanted to try something different because she was struggling in various areas, and she's even been very transparent with this. She says you know, I was seeing a therapist for a period of time that didn't get me, and so my concern was now I'm going to start working with a coach and she's not going to get me either. But Tina immediately got me and understood exactly what I was saying, and sometimes she, she said things that I hadn't even spoken. But I was feeling it, I was thinking it and to watch the woman that she involved in and to even have her spouse and her daughter notice that it happened. She was like I would be. I don't know who I would be if I had not connected with you.

Rose: 31:30

Beautiful story. Thank you for sharing that story. Talk about, then, some of your offerings. I would love to the audience to know more about what you offer people and, yeah, if you don't mind, so one of the biggest things that I offer are healing retreats, international healing retreats.

Tina C. Hines: 31:50

We go to a variety of locations Primarily it's been Bali, Indonesia, Angola, British West Indies and I've held a retreat here in Morocco and women come from primarily the US and Canada to these destinations. To some like to call it, this is my graduation present to myself, but to get the opportunity to come to these spaces to continue their healing or just to celebrate their healing. When I started my practice, I wanted to make sure that women had a safe and sacred space where they can simply be and allow themselves to be present and not worry and focus about what's going on at home, to focus on their healing. So I've done that. That happens usually in May or June of each year. We actually just came back from Bali last month and it was an amazing, transformative experience for the women who participated.

Tina C. Hines: 32:56

In addition to that, I do offer private coaching for individuals as well, because the work has to start somewhere and a lot of times people prefer not to do it as a group, depending on the nature of their, the reason why they are seeking coaching. I also do private retreats as well. I've been, I've done three private retreats one in the States and two outside the state, and my energy claim and energy work, as well as my readings. I'm getting ready to start teaching a class now. I do a class like once or twice a year. I don't do them too often, but we tap into certain things. This one is letting go of your rotten bananas, the not so positive things that are in your life that are causing havoc. So we're going to be working through a series of exercises that I pulled from some of my coaching programs that actually focus on self-defeating behaviors.

Rose: 34:01

I saw that. That looks really cool. Actually, I love that. Yeah, women have a lot of self-defeating behaviors. We don't really sometimes recognize what those are.

Tina C. Hines: 34:13

No, we don't.

Rose: 34:15

And even when someone points them out, we get so defensive that I'm not broken. I'm not fixing anything that's broken about me, you know. But I'm always trying to improve who I am and find ways to just live my life better or the best life.

Tina C. Hines: 34:39

Yes.

Rose: 34:40

What is? A couple of questions, a couple more questions. One of them is how can women take care of their energy? What are, what are some tips you have at a woman you know? Can women take care of their energy? What are some tips you have at a woman, like at the end of the day or at the beginning of the day, maybe a ritual or a tool that they can do to help them?

Tina C. Hines: 34:58

So, when it comes to protecting your energy, number one I always encourage women to pay attention to your surroundings. Pay attention to the people you're allowing into your space. Pay attention to the words that you're allowing into your space. Pay attention to the words that you're allowing into your space. Pay attention to the music that you're watching, the shows you're watching, because all of this is energy that's coming towards you and when you are consistently having it's like you're a magnet and everything's being drawn to you, it can cause you to be overwhelmed.

A couple of tools that I use I love healing crystals black tourmaline and sage I'm sorry, black tourmaline and smoky quartz are two crystals that I absolutely love. Sage, you know clearing your energy, like open the windows and sage your house. Like when you clean your house moisture, you sage your house as well. If you have pets, you may not want the burn sage, so you can buy spray sage as well and use a combination of both For your vessel. You know we have to go outside in the world Some of us do and we want to make sure that we're not taking on other people's energy.

I encourage individuals to visualize certain things around them, depending on what you need to get through, whether it is a brick wall so you can stop it from getting to you. Whether it's a mirror that you can deflect it, or water, because sometimes you need information to come through so you don't want to put what you want it to knock out. So you can use all of these different visualizations to keep the not so positive energy, as you consistently do, that it just in your mind's eye. It happens like whenever I leave, leave my house in mind's eye, I'm surrounded by water, so nothing can get through Because I'm a big magnet, like everything attaches to me, I'm grounding.

Tina C. Hines: 37:02

Grounding is very important. Allow your feet to touch the earth. Allow your feet to touch the earth whenever possible. Allow your feet to touch the earth whenever possible and just if you have a mantra or an affirmation that you can say to yourself consistently, go in and go in mind's eye and have this dialogue with yourself. There are so many meditations, guided meditations that instruct you for different things, whether it's anxiety, whether it's sadness or grief. So when you're Googling meditations, if you're searching on YouTube, go deeper. Don't still say I'm looking for a guided meditation. Whatever you're feeling in that moment, allow yourself to tap into that specific guided meditation to support you.

Rose: 37:55

Yeah, I love that. Yeah, be aware of what you're feeling. You know. Is it something that you're grieving or something that you're anxiety? You know being aware is really important. I love those tips. Thank you so much for sharing that. What is your vision for women and embracing their divine feminine energy and living their best life?

Tina C. Hines: 38:18

My vision is that as so many more women become in tune with who they are and what they desire to have, that they start authentically connecting with one another. A lot of times we feel like we're on a journey on our own and we're alone. And again, like my client shared, there's some. Some people just don't get it. But the right people get it and when your energy starts exuding that, you will be a magnet for those right individuals to be surrounded by them.

Rose: 38:55

Beautiful. I felt that in my entire body as you were saying that. Is there anything else that you would like to share with the audience before we wrap it up?

Tina C. Hines: 39:18

Um, what I'll say is this allow yourself to be again, be unapologetically, what you desire for yourself. We can't change what has happened in the past. All we can do is have the lesson from it and move forward. We still can't hold people responsible for what was done in the past. All we can do is do the work to make it different. Allow yourself to have power over it, versus it having power over you. You will be so much more happier and much more at peace. It's your responsibility to take care of you, no one else's.

Rose: 39:57

So I just wanted to share that with you. Thank you for those.
