The internet has a BFF and her name is Christina Najjar. Better known to her millions of followers as Tinx, this podcaster, author, and digital creator has been affectionately referred to as “TikTok’s older sister.”
As host of the podcast, It’s Me, Tinx and the radio show, It’s Me, Tinx LIVE, Najjar talks candidly about her own life, dives into pop culture news, and routinely doles out sex and relationship advice like the big sis she is.
“To me, talking to someone — unproduced, person-to-person, in a live atmosphere — is one of the most beautiful human things we can do,” Najjar told her followers in a recent video. “In a world, increasingly, where we don’t know what’s real and what’s not, there’s something so nice about connecting with someone in front of others.”

It’s been a big year for the 35-year-old New Yorker, whose bestselling advice book The Shift was optioned by Amazon to become a romantic comedy series, with Najjar as co-creator and co-executive producer. It’s not the only title to Najjar’s name, though: Tinx is also the author of Hotter in the Hamptons, a novel that is also in development to become a TV series.
A follow for Tinx means an all-access pass to her world, from the big stuff like trips and career wins to moments as tiny as when she's feeling like her hair isn't looking quite right. Whether she’s walking to work and jetting off to Miami or doing her makeup and cuddling with her cats, you better believe she’s taking us along with her.
Tinx has a particular knack for weaving together the storylines of her life, through content streams that migrate between platforms: Something may start out as an Instagram story, continue as a discussion on her podcast, then get resolved over on TikTok. It’s life meets content meets life — and her audience gets a front-row seat.
