About Me

Hey lovely, I’m Petrina 💙

Quiet soul. Deep thinker. Proud introvert.
Wife, mom of three amazing boys, and the heart behind Create and Leave.

I’ve always had a lot to say—but for the longest time, I kept my thoughts tucked away in journals and draft folders. Putting myself “out there” on social media? Nope. Way too loud, too fast, too much. As an introvert, it felt like the online world just… wasn’t built for me.

But then something shifted. In 2023, I stumbled into the world of Pinterest.
It felt like a sweet little in-between: not quite social media, not quite a search engine—just a peaceful space where I could share what I love without the pressure to perform.
That’s when Create and Leave really came to life.

Originally started back in 2018, my blog was my quiet corner—a place for motivational quotes, personal growth musings, and thoughts I never thought anyone else might care about. Turns out? Other women—especially introverts—did care.
They got it.
They felt seen.
And suddenly, my quiet voice didn’t feel so small anymore.

Now, I create content to help women live extraordinarily in their own way—whether you’re soft-spoken or center-stage, introverted or extroverted. I believe your voice matters. You don’t have to be loud to be powerful, and you don’t have to change who you are to build a beautiful life.

The name Create and Leave is my reminder to do just that:
Create something meaningful.
Leave your mark.
And do it all in a way that feels true to you.

So whether you’re here for quiet motivation, a gentle push toward personal growth, or tips to build a blog from your cozy little corner of the world—you’re in the right place.

Let’s make magic the introvert way. 💫
Welcome to Create and Leave—I’m so glad you’re here.
