Brit Albin recognized and embraced her God-given talent as an artist at a young age, but that didn't mean it was an easy path to pursue. In fact, it was quite the opposite.  During this visit, you'll learn a little about her life and career journey, how she leaned into obedience and trusted her calling to pursue a career as an artist. You'll also learn why she enjoys painting, what she paints, and the meaning behind a few of her creations. And interestingly, she will share the special meaning of two items she carries in her wallet. Brit's love of the Lord and what she's doing will give you encouragement on your own path to purpose. 

This is the second part of the two part episode about Dana Day, Owner of Dana Build and Design. In the first episode, Dana shared about her passion for working as a builder, what she enjoys, how it’s challenging and explains the series she was selected to appear in for HGTV.

This episode moves on to her purpose about destigmatizing talk about suicide. Dana lost her younger sister, Leslie, to suicide and it shook Dana to her core. During this conversation, she shares more about the feelings she dealt with, how she processed those and how posting on social media ended up saving three people from taking their own lives.

This is just the beginning for Dana as she is looking to fight the silence of those struggling with suicidal thoughts and let them know there is hope. She is looking to use this unimaginable tragedy for good. 

If you or someone you know is struggling with suicide, help is available. Call or text the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 988, or online 988lifeline.org. It is available 24 hours a day 7 days a week. This resource is also available for those who are trying to support them. The website is an excellent resource that shares warning signs, ways to help, do’s and don’ts and more.

Dana Day is the Owner of Dana Build and Design in Tulsa. She’s an incredible person who is very passionate about what she does and that is evidenced throughout her 20 plus year career including being selected to appear in a series on HGTV, winning numerous accolades and more. I want to preface this episode by letting you know that this will be a two-part episode. During this visit, she’ll share insight into what led up to her changing careers and jumping into this industry; what she enjoys about it (hint: it has to do with the challenges), and the stigma of being a female in a male dominated business. However, she has also a purpose that is also very important to her and is looking to share it with others. It involves her sister, Leslie, committing suicide. She will share a little about this at the end of the podcast and then will go into more depth in part two of this interview. Stick around to get to know Dana, her talent for working with clients to create custom projects that are on budget and on time. And then learn more of the back story about her sister and the event that shook Dana to her core. I was so honored that she shared this as I know it’s going to be helpful for others to hear her words.
