Shannan Kym grew up in a family where addiction, violence, and extreme dysfunction were normalized. Robbed of her childhood, she was forced to grow up at a very young age. After not graduating from high school and leaving her family, she was filled with self-loathing and shame. Suppressing her feelings, Shannan became an alcoholic. For years, she abused her body, gained excessive weight, and let herself be taken advantage of by toxic people, including marrying a narcissist. She experienced career highs and lows and suffered the loss of a child. Eventually, Shannan hit rock bottom, but on August 17, 2019, everything changed. That day, Shannan made up her mind to stop letting addiction control her life. She also decided to get real, let go of her past hurts, embrace forgiveness, and focus on living each day with gratitude, purpose, light, and love. In her new book, FIND THE ANSWERS WITHIN YOU: Ten Pathways Toward Self-Discovery Shannan breaks out her book in three sections, not only revealing her tragedies to triumphs but also ten pathways for any reader to be inspired to live by:   In Part I, Shannan tells her story of trauma and addiction. The youngest of eight, Shannan was four when her father, a violent alcoholic, took his own life. Soon after, her eldest brother, at age 20, became the abusive, hard-drinking man of the house. Broken, twisted, and cruel, Walter took pleasure in pinching, hitting, punching, kicking, bullying, and berating Shannan and her sisters—enabled by their mother. To escape the fear and hatred she felt toward her brother, Shannan turned to alcohol in high school. For many years after, she continued to seek solace in bottles of wine, which only aggravated her insecurities, anxiety, and depression. Part II follows Shannan’s healing journey. In this section, Shannan lets readers in on what she learned—from her hellish childhood, toxic relationships, troubled marriage, and determination to change—to help them draw lessons from their own experiences. Stressing how self-worth begins with awareness, Shannan reveals how she came to speak her truth about being an addict, identify and manage her triggers for drinking, and got out of being stuck in her own story. She also shares how she took responsibility for her actions, forgave and said goodbye to those who hurt her, overcame self-criticism and perfectionism, committed to healthy eating, exercise, and treating her body with care, and cultivated a mindset of gratitude. Ultimately, Shannan recognized trauma as a gift for what it taught her, about others and herself, and how it led her to discover her life’s purpose.

I’m always asking questions.  The fun begins when you start researching for answers. Such as…   Why do we cringe when someone at work or in a mall ask us how we are doing?  Plus…while losing weight why doesn’t the doctor celebrate with us?       I’m Arroe…  I am a daily writer.  A silent wolf.  I stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen study then activate.  I call it The Daily Mess.  A chronological walk through an everyday world.  Yes, it’s my morning writing.  As a receiver of thoughts and ideas, we as people tend to throw it to the side and deal with it later.  When a subject arrives, I dig in.  It’s still keeping a journal!  By doing the research the picture becomes clearer.  This is the Daily Mess…

“I wrote 'The Reason' for my wife, whom I met on a dating app (thank you Raya), fell in love, and got married by Elvis in Vegas on New Year's Eve. It is a song about finding true love. This song is my promise to her, that I'll be the love she never has to question, the kind that lasts. The kind of love everyone deserves to find.”From a young age, Nate stood out for his soulful voice, and his drive to find connection and belonging through music. At twelve amidst the complexities of growing up, music became both a sanctuary and a guiding light for Nate. He recalls discovering his family’s old karaoke machine and guitars, sparking a lifelong love for performing. “I found this Elvis karaoke tape and recorded myself singing, and something just clicked,” he says.What started in a basement with a cassette recorder quickly evolved into high school talent shows, local gigs, and a professional path that led him to the vibrant Twin Cities live music scene. While cover bands became his livelihood, performing five nights a week for two decades; it was original songwriting that gave him a deeper sense of purpose. “I loved singing every night, but I always knew I had more to say and to tell my own story,” he reflects.That creative drive eventually led to meaningful milestones, including a performance on The Voice, releasing his own projects and touring with the iconic Trans-Siberian Orchestra. In recent years, Nate has embraced a new chapter, one defined by personal healing and artistic reinvention like his everpopular weekly show “Tunes at Noon” where he goes live on socials and performs weekly for his fans in real time.
