Hi! I’m Christina Owens, M.Ed.
The moments that shape us are rarely the loud ones.
What began as reflection and journaling in life’s in-between spaces eventually found its way into my writing—and into my debut book, A Cup of Authenticitea.
I write from the quiet spaces where clarity often appears—not in the big achievement moments, but in the subtle ones we tend to overlook.
Curiosity is what draws me to those moments.
It carried me through chapters in education, coaching, fitness, and real estate. Some paths stayed, others didn’t, but each one offered something worth carrying forward—and eventually led me back to writing.
Along the way, tea became a simple way to slow down and make space—to read, write, think, or simply sit with whatever life is serving that day.
Many of those quiet moments eventually found their way onto the page.
Today, much of my creative energy goes into projects built around books, letters, and reflection—like A Cup of Authenticitea and A Letter Slipped Through the Pages.
Curiosity always leads the way.
What’s in a name?
“Stina” is short for Christina, and “Gene” is short for Geneva. Together, they sit in between my full name, working outward — a reminder to live authentically from the inside out. StinaGene has become a space to do just that: sharing a mix of stories, reflections, and creative experiments.
A Letter Slipped Through the Pages
Not another newsletter, a letter.
Imagine opening a letter that slips from a book, carrying a message that deserves to be seen beyond the plot.
No spoilers. Just what lingered—shared with a tea and a reflection to sit with.
