Hi, there!


I’m Irene B (writing as I.B. Kealy), currently living on the East Coast of the U.S.—worlds away from my hometown, London, UK.
Now at my Big Age (Gen X crew, take to the stage), I’m choosing to lead with curiosity, not completion.
I’m a multi-passionate creative who’s done waiting on perfect to make progress.
I don’t have a niche—and that’s by design (and honestly, a relief). If you’ve ever been stuck between too many ideas and not enough progress, I see you.
So, what’s the destination? A creative life defined by my version of success—kicking things off right here on this site, May 2025.
This space is a mix of real talk and real life: a place to unpack the highs, the setbacks, and to keep pushing toward those “won’t-leave-you-alone” goals. I overthink. I over-research. I get distracted by shiny ideas. I talk it out with friends (and myself), and now—with you—by writing it out. Usually with a little side-eye humor just to "get through this thing called life." (RIP, Prince).
This isn’t about Starting Over. It’s about Starting Sideways.
So if you’re chasing your own Big Age dreams, 'thing' or 'things', wondering what’s next, or maybe just craving a break and a breather—Welcome!
