About Mandy & Shellee


I am a singer-songwriter, mom of way fewer kids than Mandy, and co-owner and Virgo Visionary (aka picky af) of Do Good Humaning.

After years of performing and teaching various forms of creative expression, my experiences—along with my journey of deconstructing and reconstructing my religious upbringing—evolved into a life philosophy I started calling the "Art of Humaning."

Though I’ve struggled with “people-ing” most of my life, I have a deep love for humanity and genuinely believe in the good that can come from it. One morning, after a particularly shitty week, I literally woke up one morning and thought, “Welp, I guess this is just the “messy art” of Humaning,” and then promptly opened an Instagram account with that name (because let’s be honest, it’s not official until you claim the IG).

Since then, I’ve dreamed of starting a company that celebrates the human journey in all its ups, downs, and in-betweens. Humaning, for me, is about being present in the little moments that make up our lives and building healthy relationships both yourself and others.

After spending five years dreaming, tweaking, creating, plotting, twisting and Marco-Polo-ing with Mandy, *Do Good Humaning* finally became a real live boy (I mean, business) in the dumpster fire year of our lord, 2024.

My love language is a mix of coziness, carbs, air conditioning, and an occasional shot of something stronger. I love French fries, despise sweet tea and keep trying to escape Texas, but somehow, the "moist crotch of hell" keeps calling me back home.

Humaning is hard. You might as well have cute stickers that remind you to keep going.

I’m Mandy Chalynn—artist, writer, mom of 7, and co-founder of Do Good Humaning. Through creativity, humor, and curiosity, I help people navigate self-discovery, growth, and community care in a way that feels both intentional and authentic.

I believe creativity is a powerful way to understand ourselves and connect with others, which is key to self-tending and community-mending. At Do Good Humaning, I design practical resources, lead creative workshops, and co-run the Helpful Humaning Initiative (HHI)—a community care effort that turns good intentions into tangible support, from stocking a local community fridge to creating interactive art experiences.

When I’m not creating or planning my next big project, you’ll find me cooking for my crew, fluttering around the garden, skating (badly), or screaming into the abyss because omg wtf.
