What happens when a young person notices the people everyone else seems to overlook—and decides to do something about it?

In this episode of Speak Feed Lead Conversations with Jackie Bailey, I sit down with Evaan Ahlawat, the young creator behind Now We See You, a meaningful initiative dedicated to recognizing and celebrating the school support staff who quietly make a difference every single day.

Evaan's journey began with a simple observation: many of the people who helped make his education possible were also people students often didn't really know.

Instead of simply noticing that, Evaan took action.

Through Now We See You, he interviews school support staff, listens to their stories, creates hand-drawn charcoal portraits in their honor, and uses art, storytelling, and technology to help make sure these often-unsung members of our school communities feel seen, valued, and appreciated.

During our conversation, Evaan and I talk about:

💙 The simple observation that inspired him to create Now We See You

🎨 How he combines art, storytelling, and technology to recognize the people working behind the scenes in our schools

🖤 Why hand-drawn charcoal portraits became one of his favorite ways to express gratitude

🤝 How young people can turn an idea into meaningful action within their communities

✨ Why gratitude becomes even more powerful when we choose to express it

We also explore how one small idea can grow into something much bigger—and why age should never determine whether someone is capable of creating meaningful change.

What I love about Evaan's story is that it reminds us that impact doesn't always begin with a huge plan. Sometimes, it begins by simply paying attention.

Who around us deserves to be seen?

Whose story hasn't been told?

And what can we do to let someone know that their work matters?

Evaan chose to answer those questions through his art and through Now We See You.

I hope you'll join us for this inspiring conversation about gratitude, creativity, youth leadership, storytelling, and the power of making people feel seen.

In this episode of In the Groove with Todd & Jackie, we're joined by Amanda Hinman, Hormone Health Expert and Founder of Hinman Holistic Health, for an insightful conversation about women's health, hormones, and what truly changes after 40.

For many women, healthy habits that once worked suddenly stop producing results. Fatigue, stubborn weight gain, brain fog, poor sleep, and low energy can feel frustrating—especially when you're doing everything "right." Amanda explains why these changes often have less to do with willpower and more to do with understanding the body's hormonal shifts.

During our conversation, we explore:

✨ Why your body changes after 40—and what your hormones may be trying to tell you

✨ Why discipline alone isn't always enough for lasting health results

✨ The connection between hormones, metabolism, energy, mood, and overall well-being

✨ Why addressing the root cause leads to more sustainable health outcomes

✨ Practical strategies to work with your body instead of against it

Amanda also shares her own health journey and how it inspired her mission to help women over 40 restore their energy, balance their hormones, and reclaim vibrant health through a personalized, holistic approach.

Whether you're experiencing hormonal changes yourself or simply want a deeper understanding of how hormones influence overall wellness, this episode offers practical insights and encouraging perspectives that can help you take the next step toward better health.
