Gina Sachs is a stay at home mama who felt that she was losing herself to her roles at home so she set out to find something of her own, separate from wife and mom. She created tinyacts.co and started with 4 decks of adult kindness cards. Her kids started making their own kindness cards at school with friends so what was once an identity away from her kids came full circle.
She ended up making a kids version of the kindness cards and a children’s book to go along with it. She is self-published using PrintNinja (the same company that printed her cards!) and found an incredible illustrator from an Instagram search. This was a divine connection!
Wife, Mother, Children’s Book Author, Business Owner, Lover of Good People, Kind Acts, and F-Bombs.
On today’s episode, we learn how Gina created tinyacts.co and her kindness cards, which led to writing kid’s books. Her creativity helps her heal, and she hopes her creations do the same for fellow moms.
It’s easy for self-criticism to come into the process, but Gina shares an abundance of wisdom to work through those struggles. As a substitute teacher, she not only impacts her own kids, but the ones she teaches in her classroom.
Gina has learned valuable lessons through her experiences self-publishing, and just when she thinks she’s hit a challenge that will stop her from moving forward, she keeps going.
She knows it’s a point of growing and learning.
