Summary:

Why Creativity Belongs at the Heart of Emotional Wellbeing

At the core of Tina’s work is a powerful belief: We are all creative. From choosing what to eat for breakfast to finding solutions in times of emotional stress, creativity is not just for artists, it's a life skill.

Her guides tackle themes like overthinking, saying no, and anger, not through heavy blocks of text, but through metaphor, illustration, and vibrant design. These maps invite readers to interact, explore, and see themselves reflected in ways traditional self-help tools often miss.

“If I can help someone go from A to B in their emotional journey, then I’ve done my job,” Tina shares. “It’s about seed planting—sparking that first glimmer of self-awareness.”

And for women who feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure where to begin with their personal development? The accessible, non-linear format of these guides makes emotional wellbeing feel possible again.

The Intersection of Creativity, Spirituality, and Self-Knowledge

Mapology Guides don’t just support mental health—they honour the spiritual dimension of personal growth. Each guide is infused with intention, artistic collaboration, and metaphorical wisdom that helps the reader not just think differently, but feel differently.

This fusion of creative expression and emotional education also makes the guides particularly effective for:

• Visual learners

• Neurodivergent individuals

• Therapists, coaches, and educators seeking engaging conversation tools

As Tina says, “When you’re thinking creatively, you’re problem-solving with softness and imagination. That’s healing in itself.”

Then ask yourself: What’s one area of my life where I could start mapping a gentler way forward, just for me?

You might be surprised where that map leads you.
