Let’s face it - when you’re feeling down, hosting a party, unless it’s a pity one, may be the last thing on your to-do list. However, Jelena Aleksich has leaned into her hardships with mini-celebrations. Through the ups and downs of living in NYC and then the passing of her father, Jelena’s The Confetti Project became a visual study on human identity. After being doused by confetti and finding it weeks later inside her jacket, Jelena, a psychology major, started researching how confetti brings about nostalgic and emotive responses. After moving to Brooklyn and being inspired by all the creatives around her, Jelena built her own pop-up experience connecting with people, sharing empowering stories and photographing all of this with canons of confetti. Becoming a soulful entrepreneur can be a difficult journey especially when it taps into her own hardship. Although, The Confetti Project has been therapy for her and many others; creating an environment for people to look introspectively and celebrate all the moments, some beautiful others painful...in order for them to find joy and peace. Today on Happiness through Hardship - The Podcast, I have Jelena Aleksich here to share this story and how using mantras, being grateful and tapping into passions has helped her cope during her life’s hardest time.
