Evolving While Staying Loyal to the Community ? with Sandy Irwin of SAND

Kelsey Kowalski is an Omaha, Nebraska multi-disciplinary artist recently nominated for Outstanding Emerging Visual Artist by The Omaha Entertainment & Arts Awards.  Kelsey shares about her journey of how her art has evolved since she started painting age five. That journey took her through recovery and relapse from alcoholism, surviving an abusive relationship, and finding community among other artists and creators in Omaha.  Her artwork is a delight. It is vibrant, colorful, and often a bit (or very) psychedelic. As she says, she's trying to "give the world some more color." Follow her artwork at Acrylic and Mind Trip on Facebook or her Etsy page under the same name. Find more of this podcast at HappyYouAreHere.Life

It's been a long year with a lot of growth. The Happy You Are Here Podcast was gone for that time, but many of you found this podcast for the first time and listened to many episodes while I was away. I'm grateful to be able to share with you. This episode is a solo episode sharing where the podcast is going this coming season. I've been called to use this as a platform to dive deeper into my authentic communication and bring that authenticity out of my guests too. Over this coming season I'll be sharing a lot of the lessons and growth (both mental and spiritual) I've traversed over the past year. At the same time I'll be interviewing some of the most lovely, interesting people I know. Some previous guests will make a return and you'll meet plenty of new people as well.

Sean Rosensteel is the author of #1 Amazon Bestseller, The School of Intentional Living and the founder of The Intentional Living Academy. In this episode, Sean shares his number one tool out of a vast toolbox as well as many other insights from his book. Sean’s passion for serving others started after he found himself bankrupt at the age of 28 years old. He had been following the conventional ideas about success which led to unsustainable aspirations for material wealth. After the bankruptcy, he realized that finances was the least of his bankruptcy. He was also emotionally and relationally bankrupt. This was an eye-opening moment that taught him that attaining fulfillment in life means breaking free from conventional living and creating your own intentional path. Now, he’s inspiring and empowering others to achieve their dreams and live the lives they truly deserve. Sean currently lives in the Dallas, TX area with his loving wife, Karen, and their three young children. Check out Sean’s 5-Day challenges and other offerings.*

We could use better vocabulary to describe the opposite of toxic masculinity.   Alex Olshonsky, writer of Fridays on the Olo, suggested the answer to that question is something he calls Tonic Masculinity. We talked at length about what this term might mean for all masculinity, not just those identifying as men.

Jane Egerton-Idehen is an impressive Tech Executive, Author, and Speaker. She shares the mindset that brought her from a childhood of poverty in Lagos, Nigeria to being an influential executive and leading other young women to success. To Jane, when it was out of her control wether her family would be able to provide her with a great school, new clothes, or even food to eat, she focused on what she could control. That is what led her to apply herself fully in school and later in her career. Now Jane gives back by running a hugely successful mentoring program for young women all around the world. She is also the author of the book, Be Fearless: Give Yourself Permission To Be You.

He tells the story of coming out about his addiction to his coworkers and employers to be surprised at the support he received.
