Inspiring Conversations with Tina Roe of The Next Chapter Collective

Today we’d like to introduce you to Tina Roe.

Hi Tina, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
Wow! Not even sure where to start. Brief story. I graduated from the US Air Force Academy and spent 10 years as an officer in the United States Air Force leading in supply, logistics, and contracting. After that, I spent several years opening four multi-billion dollar resorts in Las Vegas. I managed the logistics for opening Wynn Las Vegas, Wynn Encore, MGM City Center including Aria, Vdara and Mandarin Oriental, and the Cosmopolitan. I worked closely with construction, design, purchasing, installation and operations personnel ensuring everything was in place before the openings. I loved the high energy stress of those projects but felt I needed to transition to another career when traveling back and forth to Vegas got to be too much for my young daughters. I co-led a very successful real estate team for over 10 years, then transitioned back to a solo agent and entrepreneur. I launched an ecommerce business working with athletes and coaches and now help established women transition into aligned, growth-focused roles with a clear, strategic plan through my coaching business, The Next Chapter Collective.

I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
It hasn’t been completely smooth but I have learned so much about myself and others.

One of the biggest challenges was navigating my own transition each time I moved to something different. There were learning curves and doubt. There were seasons where I knew I had outgrown a previous chapter before I had full clarity on what the next one would look like. I could just feel the pull inside and knew it was time for a change. It was a challenge trying to figure out what my next move was going to be without a perfect plan and the certainty that it would work for me.

I also had to work through my own perfectionism. I wanted everything to feel fully formed before putting it out into the world. But I’ve learned that clarity doesn’t come from waiting, it only comes from action. I jumped all in. I didn’t give myself the option of failure. I knew I had to learn and make it work. I sought out experts who could help me in those industries as well. And finally, it comes down to just taking action. When I look back over my 30+ years, it is amazing to see how one thing led to another and put me right where I was meant to be.

I think also letting go of other identities and not worrying about what other people would think. So many of us are moms, wives, sisters, founders, creators, athletes, directors, so many titles out there but who you really are is YOU. Being true to myself and what businesses really aligned with who I am today was really important. In many ways, the struggles I’ve navigated personally are the same tensions I now help women work through: growth, uncertainty, responsibility, and the courage to transition thoughtfully instead of reactively. It is okay to pivot in life and people do it for many different reasons and there are seasons to it all. Pivoting is not failure, it is just a pivot and that is okay.

We’ve been impressed with The Next Chapter Collective, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
I run a private advisory practice called The Next Chapter Collective, where I help established women who feel stuck or unfulfilled in their careers transition into aligned, growth-focused roles with a clear, strategic plan.

I specialize in working with women who have built stable, successful careers but sense they’ve outgrown their current chapter. They don’t necessarily want to “blow up” their lives. They want to evolve intelligently. My work focuses on helping them clarify whether they should stay, pursue advancement, pivot to a new company, or transition into something different and then build a grounded plan to move forward without compromising the stability they’ve worked hard to create.

What sets my work apart is the balance between emotional clarity and strategic thinking. Many women are either encouraged to make bold, impulsive moves or to stay where they are out of fear. I guide them through a structured decision-making process that helps them untangle doubt, evaluate options intelligently, and make a confident, well-considered transition.

I’m most proud of the depth and intentionality behind my brand. This isn’t about hype or dramatic reinvention. It’s about thoughtful growth. It’s about honoring what someone has built while helping them step into what’s next with clarity and confidence.

I want readers to know that feeling restless or unfulfilled after success isn’t failure. It’s often a sign of growth. And there is a way to transition forward strategically, without chaos or regret.

Can you talk to us about how you think about risk?
I think life is about risk taking. I wouldn’t be where I am today if I hadn’t taken risks of trying something new, stepping into something new. Each career I stepped into came with a risk of the unknown. Could I be successful? Would I like it? When you go into careers like real estate, ecommerce or coaching, you take a risk of no paycheck. You have to take those things into account and plan. That’s the part of transitioning to something else that can be very hard for people as losing that financial security might not be an option. If you want different things in life, you have to be willing to take a risk and try. Trying it and not liking it or it not working out the way you wanted and choosing something different is much different than not taking the risk because of fear. I was blessed that my parents always encouraged me to take risks and try new things. I realized along the way that life is exciting and meant to be enjoyed. Every day is a gift and I want to live with no regrets.
