Welcome to the secret summary page made just for you.
Let's change the narrative we tell ourselves
to one in which we dare to be brave.
Dear lovely,
Hi, I'm Christine My Linh.
I create illustrations and stories to guide creative women away from negative self-talk towards building their self-esteem and reminding them of their power.
So that they can share their light with the world - because the world needs more magic.
The artist and moment.
On my 29th birthday, as my friends climbed the ladder of success, I was unemployed. I was a failure. At the same time, my mom struggled to live after losing my dad to cancer a year before.
As our self-talk became heartbreaking and our fears overwhelming, I was desperate to help us both. Because therapy is a stigma in my culture, I learned how to journal to ease the weight of my thoughts. And then, I began writing about a bunny and a polar bear on a path to self-discovery.
In a way, I was talking to myself and my mom through storytelling and realized that I had the power to change my life.
I began changing the stories I had been telling myself since childhood and am gently guiding my mom through hers with my art.
Today, we are reimagining our lives and becoming more self-compassionate alongside women worldwide who were on the brink of giving up but found these stories and illustrations.
An introduction to
the Bunny and Bear.
On her journey to build her self-esteem, a timid brown bunny meets a polar bear who loves to explore and learn. It's an unlikely friendship that began out of misunderstanding but has become a solid partnership through life's most incredible adventures.
Together and apart, they will meet all kinds of others and continue searching for what it means to live wholeheartedly and with less worry.
A snippet of community.
Some set out to create movements. But the stories of our community made the journey of the Bunny and Bear into a movement.
“I want your pin to be the symbol of strength and to remind me to “Believe in my Dreams” with as much dedication as your heart-warming bunny and little bear do.” - Instagram follower
“Your talent of Storytelling through drawing has helped me overcome depression and suicidal thoughts due to my dad's sudden and unexpected passing. I want to thank you for helping me through the dark times.” - YouTube subscriber
The beginning of a dream.
I dream of the Bunny and Bear becoming the well-trusted guide in self-discovery for creative women worldwide.
I dream of an earth-toned collection of cloth-wrapped bounded books with debossed foil and ivory pages as crisp as the fall air—a tangible and accessible display of the stories and illustrations of the journey of the Bunny and Bear.
And I dream of the Storybook Journal filled with moments where you can join the Bunny and Bear’s journey with your own, guiding you along your path like a well-known companion.
I hope that these stories help you feel known, loved, and at home within yourself.
