ACTRESS. SPEAKER. MOM.

A life in entertainment became a mission to help families think carefully about the messages shaping their children.

The person behind the mission

She saw the influence.
She started
the conversation.

Before the interviews, the speaking stages, and the resources, there was a young woman leaving a Wisconsin dairy farm for Hollywood.

At 20, Tina headed west to pursue acting and film and television broadcasting. Working in entertainment gave her a close-up view of the stories and images reaching young people.

That experience shaped the work she does today: helping parents examine media and culture through the lens of their faith, and encouraging young people to find their identity beyond the latest trend.

A mother of four, Tina brings those questions back to family life. Through Counter Culture Mom, she connects interviews, practical resources, and speaking with the everyday conversations happening at home.
