A guide to dating, self-worth and becoming the main character of your life

It's time to get laser focused on what makes us feel happy and fulfilled. Lifestyle creator, advice expert and podcast host Tinx wants to take your hand and guide you to a new way of thinking about life, love, happiness and friendships—where dating evolves into an era of self-discovery and not just a means to an end, sharing wisdom becomes a collective power, and chaos turns into a source of creativity. Making small but mighty shifts in thinking can be a tool for personal growth that fuels you instead of fatigues you. The point is to know yourself, discover what fulfills you, and have fun along the way.

In The Shift, Tinx collects all her revolutionary theories and hilarious personal anecdotes in one place, presenting you with a guide to simple mindset shifts that will completely change the way you approach decision-making and relationships.

Through her own stories, from the good to the bad, Tinx will help you better understand how to step into your power and own self-worth. Some say you cannot love another before you learn to love yourself: Tinx will teach you how to do both at the same time. And she'll do it while making you laugh out loud.

With her signature wit and honesty, Tinx will teach you:

  • How to change your scarcity mindset
  • How to understand and employ her famous Box Theory dating concept
  • How to feed the things that fulfill you
  • How living well is the best revenge
  • How therapy can reframe struggles into strengths
  • How to break up with dignity
  • How knowing your worth makes you a better friend and partner

The lifestyle creator, advice expert and host of the It's Me, Tinx podcast shares her hilarious and (sometimes brutally) honest wisdom on how to shift your approach to life, step into your confidence, and enjoy the journey.
