Meet Tina Rix

We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Tina Rix. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Tina below.

Hi Tina, really happy you were able to join us today and we’re looking forward to sharing your story and insights with our readers. Let’s start with the heart of it all – purpose. How did you find your purpose?

By using my desire to heal myself and others, as I came from a very abusive household, which eventually landed me in CPS custody. I knew that I wanted to help people, so I became a licensed marriage and family therapist. I also worked on music off and on, returning to it on a professional level once more in 2020 after a 7-year hiatus. I utilize my music to help others heal and embrace all parts of the healing journey process. I also am a documentary filmmaker. I have a docuseries streaming on Amazon Prime and TUBI currently, titled, “Music and Mental Health.” In short, my purpose came about from coming from a severely dysfunctional and abusive home as a child, and knowing that children and adults such as myself needed help navigating complex trauma.

Let’s take a small detour – maybe you can share a bit about yourself before we dive back into some of the other questions we had for you?

I am a music artist, therapist, and filmmaker. My brands intertwine/overlap with one another. The overarching theme is healing trauma of a complex nature, and mental health advocacy.

Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?

Perseverance: No matter what is thrown at you, what attacks you go through, and if you are senselessly rejected… you have to always check in with yourself, and say, “What was the vision? Am I going to allow abuse and mistreatment stop me from turning the vision into a reality?” Even if you have to take a break to heal from all the turbulence along the journey, do so.

Optimism: Stay positive about yourself and love yourself no matter what type of dirt is thrown at you, and or false allegations. Lead with your light from within. Have boundaries that way your light is not stolen or stomped out of you.

My Faith: I follow the Holy Spirit that dwells within me. I am not very religious, nor do I attend church. I am more a spiritual warfare warrior, and study the bible based on how to navigate the world, which can oftentimes be full of a lot of darkness. My faith has always been there for me and never failed me.

Okay, so before we go we always love to ask if you are looking for folks to partner or collaborate with?

I alway love collaborating with filmmakers, producers of music and film, and musicians. I also enjoy speaking at mental health, relationships, music, and empowerment seminars. Please email me at info@tinarixmusic.com
