In this digital age, it’s easy to become detached from the people and things that really matter in life. Our schedules are hectic, busy, and packed full of personal and professional tasks that swallow us up and then spit us out on the other side, feeling empty, exhausted, and often lost and looking for meaning.

In this episode, I talk with author Sean Rosensteel,  founder of the Intentional Living Academy, to get his blueprint for what it means to live a perfectly intentional life. 

With a passion for helping others, Sean's journey began when he found himself bankrupt at the age of 28 after following conventional wisdom all his life. This eye-opening moment showed him that attaining true happiness and fulfillment means breaking free of societal chains and making your own path. Now, he hopes to inspire and empower his readers to achieve their dreams and live the life they truly deserve.

Do you want to uncover what’s truly standing in the way of your ambitions and figure out what it’s going to take to get you to where you want to be? If you answered yes, you are going to love my interview with Lee Hopkins.

Lee Hopkins is a Thought Leader, Podcaster & Transformational Coach. He is best known for his work in promoting social-emotional wellness. His work as a Transformational Coach started when he found himself ill-equipped to create meaningful, long-lasting connections with family members, friends, or romantic relationships. He believed that the source of his broken relationships was rooted in the people around him, so he needed to change his scenery. After moving across the country and back, he found himself in the same dysfunctional circle of friends and the same chaotic romantic relationships.

Today on SoundBalming, I am interviewing Jeff Leisawitz. Jeff is a man of many talents. He is a writer, a poet, a musician, a filmmaker, and a photographer. Jeff has tapped into his creativity throughout his career and brought it forward in many different ways. In that process, he has developed this philosophy around creativity as a tool to be seen, expressed, and healed.

Jeff burns with a mission— to inspire and teach writers, artists, songwriters, musicians, filmmakers, solopreneurs, arts organizations (and every other human with a heartbeat) to amp up their vision, tap into their potential and shine in the world.

He is the author of Not F*ing Around—The No Bullsh*t Guide for Getting Your Creative Dreams Off the Ground is Jeff’s first book. It is really like an advice book if you want to be more creative. It is an adorable little book with some excellent illustrations. He will talk today about that book and share some advice and stories around being more creative in your own life. I certainly had a lot of fun interviewing Jeff, so I think you will enjoy the conversation.
