Why TeaZilla?
Because sometimes the only way back to yourself… is through the roar.
After surviving years of trauma and abuse, it took time — and a whole lot of tenderness — to begin sharing my art again. Creativity has always been a lifeline for me. A place to put the pain. A way to find joy again. But when I was finally ready to create, I found strength in the most unexpected place:
my inner dinosaur.
TeaZilla isn’t just a cute nickname.
She’s my inner dino — fierce, gentle, protective, and wildly loyal.
She showed up right when I needed her most, nudging me to:
🔥 remember my dreams
✨ believe in fairytales again
💛 and reclaim my voice
She’s every part of me: brave, quirky, a little wild, and absolutely committed to making the world more magical.
Through TeaZilla, I learned to advocate for myself, honor where I’ve been, and celebrate where I’m going. She reminds me that healing isn’t about erasing the past — it’s about roaring your way into the future.
Now, with Studio TeaZilla, I use my creative powers for good — building worlds, crafting wonderlands, teaching, designing, mixing music, telling stories, sharing brownies, and spreading joy wherever I can.
Because the truth is:
Once you awaken your inner dinosaur…
there’s no going back.
