The BOLD and Brilliant Podcast with Tracie Root
The BOLD and Brilliant Podcast with Tracie Root, w/Guest Tina Spoletini
🎧 Episode Summary:
What happens when your kids drive away… and you suddenly realize your entire identity just shifted? In this heart-opening episode, confidence coach and Confidence in Bloom podcast host Tina Spoletini shares how an “almost empty nest” moment sparked her reinvention—and how her work evolved from styling outfits to helping women rebuild self-trust, quiet self-doubt, and truly bloom into their next chapter. If you’ve ever questioned your purpose, battled negative self-talk, or felt like you’re starting over, Tina’s story will feel like a warm hand on your back saying, “You’ve got this.”
✨ What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
- Why life transitions can create identity “whiplash” (and how to navigate it with compassion)
- How Tina’s journey began with fashion confidence—and evolved into deeper mindset work
- The truth about negative self-talk (it doesn’t disappear… but it can change roles)
- Tina’s powerful concept: the “Itty Bitty Sh*tty Committee” and how to make peace with it
- How community support can quietly become your “mentor” while you build something new
- A simple way to shift from noticing problems to noticing possibilities
🛠️ Actionable Tips from Tina Spoletini:
- Name the voices. When self-doubt shows up, identify it instead of spiraling in it.
- Make friends with your inner committee. Don’t waste energy trying to “delete” it—learn to work with it.
- Give your inner critic a job. Redirect that hyper-aware energy into something useful: curiosity, solutions, creativity.
- Notice what’s in your control. Practice separating what’s yours to handle vs. what belongs to someone else.
- Build support on purpose. Even if you’re not “paying for mentorship,” surround yourself with people who help you grow.
🎤 Memorable Quote:
“We all have the itty bitty sh*tty committee… make friends with it.”
🔥 Bold Moment of the Episode:
Tina sharing the moment her twins drove away to school for the first time—and she stood there thinking, “Oh my God… my life is over.” That raw honesty becomes the turning point for her reinvention and the beginning of her work supporting women through identity shifts and confidence rebuilds.

Welcome Tina to the Bold and Brilliant podcast. Tina, welcome to the podcast. I'm so excited for you to be here. Yes. Thank
Tina:you
Tracie:so much
Tina:for having me, Tracy.
Tracie:Amazing. Okay, so to give our listeners a little bit of kind of where we are at in our relationship, you're part of the Gather community. We've been connected for several years through various platforms and Facebook and different networking groups and things like that. We were realizing earlier, we actually haven't really done an in depth. Like, tell me about how you got here. What was your life before Tina coach? So give me, let's give everyone some background, including myself, give our listeners a little origin story of how you got to where you are because your, your personality and your like, um, empowerment energy is really apparent. I don't know where that comes from. So tell me about it. Okay.
Tina:Well, I mean, there's not a whole lot to tell. I came, you know, I grew up in Canada, I mean, live in Canada, and this is where I grew up. Um, you know, I love my family. I loved being with my family, and it was all part of that whole, you know, it, it's a, I'm a people person. Right. Yeah. The more people I have around me, the more energy I get. Right. Do you have
Tracie:a large family, like siblings, cousins, uh, like around you? Yeah. Cousins.
Tina:Like I have just one brother. Um, but my dad is the oldest of eight. Mm. And we were together almost every Sunday while I was growing up. And so I think, I think by before I got married, our Sunday dinners were like 42. Wow. 39, 42, something like that. Amazing. Right Now, of course, it wasn't all 42 of us sitting at one table every Sunday. Lots of times it was, you know, like an open house. You know, my husband would have eight people at his table. But by the end of the day, all of us had been, everyone had
Tracie:come through. My first husband was the youngest of nine, uh, in New Orleans. And so it was a very similar, he's like, Sunday dinner was 30 people. So very similar situation. Yeah.
Tina:And I loved it. I absolutely loved it. Like I looked forward to my Sundays because I got to see everybody, right? Mm-hmm. Like it was like, oh, I got to see, you know, my uncle. And I mean, sure. I mean, we all know like family, there's always friction between family. But I didn't care. I was like, I don't care. Fight. Do what you gotta do. I wanna see everybody. Yeah. Right. And I carried that on into my adulthood and into my, like I tried with my kids, but we moved away when my, I think I have, so I have twins, and then I have a younger son. And I think the twins were 11 and we moved away from our family, which was huge, right? For me, that was really big. But it was also a great opportunity for me to be just close with my family, right? Because now this is, I actually remember, and I was telling my mother-in-law this when I moved away. I was like, oh my God, I don't know if I know how to parent anymore. Because I was so used to that much. You had so
Tracie:much support from others. Yeah.
Tina:Right. And I honestly didn't know how I was gonna do it, but I managed, the twins now are 24. My youngest will be 19, and they're alive and well. So I did. Awesome. Well congratulations. Good job, mom. Thank you. And so I did, I worked, you know, when we first were married, I worked in a bank. Which was my dream job. And I thought, oh, I got life made, right? Mm-hmm. And then when we started a family, we decided that I would stay home. Right. I mean, we were doing well, you know, we, we didn't need to have,
Tracie:yeah. Right. If you can make it work, then that's a lot of people's dream, if you can Exactly. Substantially, let's make it happen.
Tina:That's right. And, and quite honestly, I wanted to be in my kids' lives. I wanted to be a part of their lives. Right. Not that, you know, working moms are not, but I, for me, that felt like that's what was right. And, and so. I did that. Then when the twins turned 16 and they got their driver's license, I was like, and they were
Tracie:gone.
Tina:Yeah. I, I'll never forget the first time they drove to school, my youngest was walking'cause his school was, you know, just a few blocks from the house and they, they're driving away and I'm standing in the garage and my house coat watching them drive away. And I was like. Oh my God, my life is over. Right. Like, I really felt like I had no purpose anymore, and I thought, how am I gonna do this? Right. I was, I think I was, I, I was in my mid forties anyway. Oh yeah. Well, I was 30 when they were born, so I was 46, and I remember thinking, oh my God. Like, that's it. I'm done. Right. Like, I'm not even 50 and I have no reason to get outta bed anymore. Yeah. And so I went on this like. I don't know what, like a journey, I guess. What do I do now? And it took me a few years. It didn't happen overnight. Um, but I decided that women needed me. Right over like plus size women needed me. Mm-hmm. Because I, I've been plus size all my life and I, but I love clothes and I love fashion, and I was like, that's, that's what I wanna do. I wanna like, help women like me learn how to dress better. Right. To be comfortable in their skin. Yeah. More, more than anything. It's like, because clothes. They're not everything. Right. Like we don't, the clothes don't make the person Right, right. The, the person makes the clothes. And I've always believed that and I kind of went, okay. Other women, I, you know, we see women all over the, like, everybody, there's lots of people that don't know how to dress. Right? Yeah. Oh, I shouldn't say it that way. That's actually sounds really negative, but some people just don't know how to put the proper outfits together for their bodies.
Tracie:Yeah.
Tina:Right. And I thought, I wanna, I wanna be that person to help. Women learn how to put the right clothes so that they can feel confident and you know. Yeah. Strong and energized. So I went on this mission to do this, and in the meantime I learned a life coaching. I had a life coaching certificate through the Canadian Federation of Coaching. I think that's what it's called. But of course that has, it was, it turned into more than that. It was more about like the women that are putting on clothes. They didn't love themselves, like their self-talk was terrible. And I remember standing in a dressing room with a young, she was young, like I think 27, and she had this beautiful, bright orange top. She looked amazing. And she's like, Tina, I can't wear this. I was like, what? What do you mean you can't wear it? It looks beautiful on you. Right? And she's like, no, but I, it doesn't suit me. Like, I don't feel bright. I don't feel good. Yeah. She wanted to be wearing gray. Yeah. Yeah. Like, you know, and she was young, 27, you know, like she had, her life really hadn't started yet, and I, I just had like, my heart broke for her. I was like, oh my goodness. Like, you're too young to think like that. But then I also thought on my way home, I'm like, but is she too young for that? Because I think we all, we all have a little bit of that, especially after high school, right? Sure. Because high school, high school's terrible. Right,
Tracie:right. We
Tina:think we're having a great time. Mean it's,
Tracie:it's all, yeah. I mean there's, it's, these days I think it's very different these days. My kids are 16 and almost 17 and 19, so like their mindset versus where my mindset was when in the eighties. Are two very different things, right? But yes, most of us, most women have some sort of like misconception about, like, it's, it's, you look in the mirror and you don't see the reality.
Tina:Right? Exactly, and, and, well, my
Tracie:heart
Tina:is dysmorphia.
Tracie:That's the word I was looking for. Yeah. Kind of
Tina:personal dysmorphia in one way. I, I see, like when I look at my daughter at 24 mm-hmm. The way she talks and the way she feels about herself is totally different than what it was for us when we were kids. Everybody, every adult I knew, like all the girls in my age group, they were all the same. We were not good enough. We had to do more. To be more, yeah. And, and I don't find that the girls are like that today. Now I don't know if that's parenting.'cause I blame everything on parenting. Right. I, well, I mean, I think part of it can
Tracie:be parenting, but I think it's just how generations change.
Tina:Right. And I mean, I mean, you and I both know the schools are not the same. The stories that come home with my kids, I was, I'm like, oh my God. What, what is happening to the world? Right? Yeah. But, but that's just the way the world goes. And, and maybe that's part of this, right? Um, but my, my real, like, I remember when this woman was in the dressing room. I was like, women need to feel better about themselves. Right. And I kind of took on that responsibility. Right. That's part of my job. Yeah. What can you do about it for the world? Yeah. Mm-hmm. Like, why, why are women feeling so down now that, okay, I had this, you know, eye opening moment, but it didn't ha like I, you know, it wasn't like I was on a mission after that. Right. It took me a lot to learn. How do I do this? I'm still learning. I think I'll probably always be learning.'cause I think, you know, women we're all different.
Tracie:Yeah. We all need to and things change and the world is dynamic. Absolutely. Yeah.
Tina:Yeah. Exactly. And so since then I have taken many course, many, many courses spent lots and lots of money. Right. To learn how the brain works because that's what it comes down to. Right. What triggers us and why is that?
Tracie:Yeah. Yeah. I love that. And so you mentioned being in the dressing room and this girl was there. Why were you there? Like, I know that we were talking about your kids were driving and walking off to school and you're trying to figure out what your life's gonna look like after you're almost becoming a, a empty nester for a phase of the emptiness journey. Right. So. So what, like when did you decide that you were gonna do this? Like you started on the journey, but when did you make the decision that bold choice to be that woman like in business?
Tina:Ah, so yeah, it was about, I'm gonna say it was about 18 months after my twins drove away in their car, that one day, Uhhuh. Um, and it was more like, I took me a while to figure out. Do I wanna do something? Mm-hmm. Do I wanna work? Right. Because I hadn't worked for so long. Yeah. Right. And, and, and, and unfortunately person, and you could have just still not, I could have not. Right. I didn't have to go to work. My husband wasn't like, okay, now it's your turn to make money. It wasn't like that. We were still doing well, we were traveling. I mean, the, my kids have been all over. Right. Awesome. And thank God, I mean, they're, you know, I'm grateful for that. They're grateful for that. Um. But at the same time I was like, well, when my husband's still working, like, yeah, what are you gonna do? Sit at home, many bomb all
Tracie:day.
Tina:Yeah. Like, I'm not gonna clean my house all day. I mean, I know women that do that, but that's not who I am. Yeah. And I don't enjoy cooking, so I cook the basics when I have to. Right. So to spend a whole day in the kitchen will never happen for me. Yeah. Yeah. And so I was, you know, I was like, what do I do? Like it took me a while and then I went on a vision, or I went to a vision board workshop. I had this epiphany, like, that's what I wanna do. I wanna help these women get dressed right, because. They need it. There's lots of women, and then they'll feel better
Tracie:and everyone will have more confidence in the world. Energy rises.
Tina:Yeah, exactly. And, and I, and I know that I, my focus was plus-sized women because I can relate with them better, but there's lots of women that came to me and said, could you help me? Yeah. Right. Great. Um, so that's where it started. Right was with this workshop. Yeah. And you know, the lady that held the workshop, she was actually my first business coach and helped me sort of get things started. Right. Awesome. And yeah, and it was great. I mean, I, I loved it. Right. But it has definitely evolved from there.
Tracie:Yeah. I love that. So. So you have this vision. I'm excited because I just signed up for Vision Board Workshop in December and I haven't been to one in a long time, so I'm excited because you just said that. I'm like, Ooh, I wonder what's gonna come outta mine. Um, but so, okay, so you had this epiphany, like, what you wanna do, you put some structure underneath it. Did you ever think that, like, do you, do you know how to run a business for yourself? Did you wanna get a job? Like, what was that like? Decision, yeah.
Tina:No, I don't know how to run a business. I don't, and I mean, I still don't. I still don't, you know, but. I don't know, like, so my husband has always been self-employed. When we first got married, he was working for a bank, but he also ran, helped his dad run three businesses now. Oh wow. Okay. And so, and I remember saying to him, so he drove me'cause I didn't know where the, this course was, this life coaching course. So he drove me and when he picked me up, I said to him, I'll never forget this conversation. I said, so the instructor said, we need to find a mentor. And generally a mentor, someone you don't pay, but they help you sort of, you know, run your business. They teach you all the different things that you need to know. So I said, you're gonna have to be my mentor. And he was like, I could do that. So I said, okay, that means we're gonna have to have at least monthly meetings, and I'm giving him the rundown.
Tracie:Yeah.
Tina:Everything you learned
Tracie:in your course.
Tina:Yeah. That was in 2018 and so we're into almost, almost eight years now, I guess. Yeah. And yeah. We haven't had one meeting. Right. Like I live with a guy, I've seen him every single day, and we have not yet had a meeting like this. And that's so funny. I don't know why. Right. I, but then I've hired coaches to help me because I think he's a man, and I don't mean this in a negative way, but he, he doesn't get how my brain works. Yeah. Our brain work different. Yeah. And so I, that's how I found the Gather community, because it's like-minded women. Yeah. Right. And even though like, I'm not paying you for your services, really, I pay for my membership, but there's always tidbits that we get within our meetings. Ah, that's what I could do. Right. Or if there's something that I wanna know more, I can reach out to these women. Absolutely. Oh my gosh.
Tracie:Thank you for saying that. Can I, can I snip that out and use that as a millennial because that brilliant. It's true. cause and I'm not saying it's brilliant just'cause you know, thank you for the, the awesome words, but you get it like that is the point, right. Of. Being a VIP in the membership is you. That's right. Build the relationships. You hang out regularly with the expectation that I know there's something here that's going to support me in whatever it is that I need.
Tina:That's right. So, wow.
Tracie:And if it doesn't support me
Tina:today, right. And this is what I've learned. Yeah. Not every meeting I come home with something that I can put to use. Right, right. But there's always something, right? There's always something, right? Yeah. Like for example, like I was at the coworking sessions that you had a few, few weeks ago and you were not there. And Paula, who was sort of left in charge, had to leave and she asked me to look after things and I was like, I don't know how to do that. Right. Like I, my heart kind of stopped and I was like, and then after I was like, hold on a minute, we're here just to do our own work. Yeah. Right. You might have to have a conversation after, which you love doing anyways, so, right. It's not the end of the world. Right. And so I was writing little notes like, okay, so and so said she'll be back at this time. And then I was like, what? What are you doing? Like, you're acting like you're in school again. Right. But it was just, you know, taking that step of leadership, which is all really, it takes.
Tracie:Absolutely. Absolutely. That little bit of confidence to know like, yeah, I, I have, this is not my first radio. I have been to this event. I know these people we may not have met, but we're all like minded, like you said. So it doesn't matter if you know exactly who they are, their whole life story, what their business is, and what they're working on, and all of that. That's right. You just be present for other people to also be present. And then together we keep moving forward. That's right. Instead, instead of moving backward or having negative self-talk or all of the things that you said that you heard from that woman in the dressing room. Right, right, right. Your natural coaching instincts that are now cultivated over these years. All you need.
Tina:Yeah, exactly. And it's funny, when my son, my youngest one was just a baby like three or four months. I had, you know, put on a lot of weight while I was pregnant with him. And so I was like determined to get it off. So I joined LA Weight Loss. I don't know if that was in the States, but it was in Canada. Yeah,
Tracie:we had it. It's in la It was
Tina:Los Angeles. Yeah, that's what I thought. Yeah. And, and I mean I obviously I regret that now, but at the time I was like, the time, well, that's what you think you need at the time. Yeah. Yeah. And. I remember I at one time, one of the counselors was leaving and I was like, oh, she's leaving. That's too bad.'cause she was really awesome. And the lady I was talking to said, oh yeah, she's leaving'cause she's being a life coach. She's a life coach now or something to that degree. Uhhuh. Yeah. Yeah. And I remember looking at this lady going, oh my God, that would be the best job. Like how, who wouldn't wanna help someone else? You know, journey through life. Yeah. With their life gets tough. Right, right. Like, yeah. And, and you know, here we are, 15, 20, you know, 18 years later and that's what I'm doing. I love it. Yeah. Isn't that fun? Yeah. Yeah. It is fun.
Tracie:Yeah. And you never know, like, you know, we all have the stories that where we started the, the thing that kind of happened in our lives or something that changed or something happened to someone else, but we witnessed it. That just opens your eyes a little bit more. What could that look like for me? How could that serve me? Because we're all, you know, it's all what's in it for me? Right. Like Right. You know, even those of us who are just like, I really wanna serve others, but that what's in it for me is still underneath the surface. Yeah.
Tina:Even if it's just that gratitude or, um, yeah. Or curiosity.
Tracie:Yeah. Yeah. Because you just don't know. When you find out something new, it's like, oh, like we all have to process how it, how it relates to ourselves in the world. Every piece of news. How is this relating that's right to us, our world, our people, our family, our community. You know? It's all that question. So yeah, you find out about something exciting that someone else is excited about. It's like, oh, they're excited about that. What? What is that? Yeah, I wanna know more because I'm curious or I'm looking for something more. Right. I know. You know how that's gonna touch someone else, so that's, yeah. Yeah. Well, and I wanna talk about your shift because what we've been talking about this last six months or so in our happenings together in the Gather community is you started off helping people with their fashion styling, being a stylist and coaching people with their style, but you're. Even though the style is still super important and their body confidence in, in general, uh, like how you show up in the world is still really important. You're pulling the stylist part out and becoming more life coach again. Yes. So talk about that a little bit and, and how you really are working with people today.
Tina:Yeah. Okay. So, um, I call it the Ty Bitty Shitty Committee, right? And that is, that's all that, those voices that we hear in our head, right? The one that says you're not good enough, you don't know enough, the, you know, you're stupid and you can't do that. All those kind of voices now. Some, some coaches say, you know, let's shut them down. But the truth is, to me, they don't really get shut down, right? They're always there. They might be a little bit quieter than some, but for the most part, my aim is to take that shitty committee, bring them to the table altogether with you, and be a team. Right. Be like, let's work together to make this work. Right. Yeah. How can I, you know, go forward? How can I be the best version that I can be with all of us on the same page?
Tracie:Yeah. I love that it's'cause that's so real that, you know, as much as we say, oh, we've knocked that aside every now and then, it just shows up again, doesn't it? Yeah. And it's like, oh, I didn't think that I was still, I still had that. Issue or struggle or mindset or whatever. And even like, I, I related it when you were saying that to when I was health coaching when I first started, which is like, okay, don't like say oh, you're gonna stop doing all these things because you can't literally stop doing all the things.'cause your body, you get overwhelmed and you can't process it. But what if you started adding in good things?
Tina:Right.
Tracie:Right. And so build the good side of the team to build, to be with the side that's maybe not so healthy and create a new Exactly. A new way of looking at the whole package. I love that. Exactly.
Tina:Yeah. And I, one of the trainings that I took, uh, it was actually really funny'cause the lady stood in front of all these people and there was men and women. It wasn't just, you know, it was NLP training. Mm-hmm. And she said to have daily meetings with this group. Yeah. And I remember thinking daily meetings like, and I'm already coaching this way. Right? Yeah. And I'm thinking daily meetings, like I would never leave the table. Right? Like I'm already thinking. And she's like, you need to give every one of those voices a job. Mm. Right. It took me like weeks to figure out what that meant. Really? Yeah. Like, I mean, she explained it, right, but the truth is like if you give like, and we're all the same, like it's whether it's your voices or it's your personality, if you have something to keep you busy with. There's no time for you to be negative and bringing down anyone else. Right. And so, you know, one day I'm laying in bed looking at the, you know, the ceiling.'cause I couldn't fall asleep. And I'm like, oh, like, like so this big light came on and I thought, oh, that's what I could do. Right? I could give that voice the one that's always nattering. You know, a job to like look for something else. Mm-hmm. And so I notice now that that's what, you know, like that curiosity, right? Like what? What do you see in front of you right now That you can make more positive or more useful
Tracie:Yeah. In your life? Yeah. If you're gonna notice all the things that need help. Come up with. Come up with some solutions. Exactly. Come up with some ideas. Be creative. I love that.
Tina:Gimme the good ones. Gimme the good ones. Not the ones that I can't do anything about.
Tracie:Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because if you're gonna see all of them, like, tell me about the other ones. Exactly. Don't tell me about the ones that's, you know, the ones that are out of our control. And that's a big thing too, right? Like what is it that we can have some effect on? And what is literally not something we can have an effect on. That's right. Other people's, whatever. Right. Exactly. What's ours to handle? Awesome. I love it. Tina, this was such a fun conversation. I am so excited that we got a chance to do this today. Is there anything, we're gonna make sure that, like your links for your podcast and everything are in the notes and you know, in our, all our stuff. But is there anything that you wanna, like a final comment, wrap it up like, yeah, what message do you wanna leave for the listeners? So,
Tina:yeah, I would like to say, you know. We all have the, the shit itty bitty shitty committee, right? Yep. As much as we want to admit it or not admit it, we all have it. Make friends with it. That's, that's my best advice. My, you know, my tidbit of the day is just make friends with those voices. Yeah.
