Welcome to StinaGene
Wherever a story takes you, there’s something to discover.
Hi, I’m Christina Owens
I write about discovery in life’s in-between moments—the pauses, pivots, and questions that shape who we are.
Alongside a 20+ year career in education, I’ve explored many paths, from real estate to fitness and mindfulness coaching.
What each experience has taught me is that clarity isn’t waiting at the finish line. It lives in the in-between.
The in-between is one of the most honest places to be.
This collection of short stories and journal reflections is steeped in heart, curiosity, and a quiet sense of wonder.
It invites you into the messy, magical in-between spaces of life. The moments when clarity is still brewing, courage is still warming, and you’re not quite the person you were, but not yet who you’re becoming.
It’s cozy, it’s honest, and it asks just the right questions at just the right time.

Stories are often how we make sense of things.
A Letter Slipped Through the Pages
Not another newsletter. A letter.
Imagine getting a note inspired by a book that didn’t quite let go.
Each letter is written after a book is closed, but the story stays—paired with a tea and a reflection to sit with.
Not reviews. Not recaps. Just letters meant to offer connection, curiosity, or comfort—and maybe even lead you to your next favorite read.
