She is your intuition, your inner child, the part of you that learned to stay small to survive. This work is for every gender. We were all taught to self abandon. I speak from a female reference because that’s been my experience but this work is universal. This podcast is about finding yourself. Learning, guiding, and trusting in you. Get off of autopilot and live. Hosted by a licensed therapist, we look at life from a wider lens, why we do the things we do and how to live a life with intention. You do have control, you can change the trajectory of everything. We talk about self-abandonment, anxiety, burnout, attachment wounds, addiction, and nervous system regulation. This space is for clarity, reflection, and learning how to stay with yourself when it matters most. You are all you ever needed. Thanks for being here.

    Do it Scared

    In this episode, Hannah talks about anxiety in it coming from a place of desiring certainty and safety. We do it scared but we can come from a place of intentionality. Life is uncertain and that is uncomfortable. Maybe that is the lesson in it. Listen in so we can share together in this human experience.

    This is your protest: Living as a mammal in capitalism

    In today’s episode, we talk about quiet forms of protest in a world that constantly asks us to consume more, hustle harder, and disconnect from our humanity. What if resistance looked less like perfection and more like returning to ourselves? This conversation explores capitalism, nervous system overwhelm, and the small ways we can begin living more like mammals again. Slower mornings. More sunlight. Less convenience culture. Using cloths instead of paper towel. Cooking simple meals. Sitting outside. Walking. Resting. Existing beyond productivity. Not from a place of guilt or rigid sustainability, but from a desire to reclaim peace, autonomy, and connection in a system that profits from our exhaustion. This episode is an invitation to rethink what a meaningful life actually looks like, and to remember that healing can be deeply intertwined with the way we choose to live each day.

    Lead your child self to joy

You might not even be aware of when you’re doing it so step one is building awareness and putting it into practice just a little at a time. If you feel unfulfilled, anxious, lost or just don’t know who you are anymore or maybe don’t like the person you’ve become. This episode is for you.

    Wait a minute, who am I?

    Have you ever stopped and ask yourself… who am I, really? Not the roles you play. Not whoever others need you to be. But you. In this episode, we explore how to separate your true values from the ones shaped by survival, trauma, and expectation. Because what you learned to do to survive, isn’t always who you are. When you constantly focus on others, it can feel like love — but often itself abandonment. This is about coming back to yourself… so you can make clearer decisions, take better care of yourself, and finally feel more at home in your own life. She needs you.

    If you’ve ever felt like your reactions don’t match the situation… like something deeper is running the show… this episode is for you. We’re diving into what it actually means to stretch your window of tolerance and why your nervous system isn’t working against you, it’s trying to protect you. You’ll learn: • Why you’re wired for safety and how trauma shapes your reactions • What’s really happening when triggers take over • How to build confidence through self-talk, support, and real-life experiences • How to recognize your triggers and recover without spiraling into shame • When to regulate… and when to set boundaries instead • How to start expanding your capacity for calm, clarity, and choice This isn’t about never getting triggered again. It’s about learning how to come back to yourself faster… and build a life that feels safer, stronger, and more aligned. We’ll end with a simple challenge to help you take one brave step this week… because growth doesn’t happen in theory, it happens in practice.

    Not happy with your friendships/partner? You have the power to fix it

    If you are thinking, ugh…I’m just bad at relationships! Then this episode is for you. Here we learn how to identify what parts we play in relationships versus what part we actually want to play, and how to be intentional. Relationships should be reciprocal. You don’t have to overfunction because they are under functioning. That actually enables them more! Let’s be intentional and find fulfillment in our bonds. You ARE good at relationships. And you do deserve all the love!
