Hey. I'm Hannah. This is a podcast about my messy musings as a trained counsellor (and entrepreneur) (and people researcher) (and creative person) (and human). Each episode I take you with me as I think-feel out loud and try to make sense of this crazy thing called life and the world around me.

Ep #13: Why you haven't started yet
This episode is about making and breaking plans - both in business and in our creative and personal lives. It's about why we say we want to do a thing (like start a business, take a dancing class, start a podcast or a youtube, start eating right, working out, sleeping earlier) but then we don't do it, and what to do about that.

Ep #12: Preparing to die
It's a weird thing to say but in a way, I've spent most of my life with blinkers on.... steadily, steadfastly preparing to die. I am only just starting to learn how to live, really. Or to indulge in life. This episode is me poking at that idea and unraveling it out loud.

Ep #11: How to start
On navigating beginnings. And how loooong they are. And how most of the time you're driving blind. But more than that, beginnings are this unspoken renegotiation of your relationship to the thing you're beginning.

Ep #10: How to be ok when you're not
Being in the middle of something hard is, well, hard. And right now, we've been thrown into a lot of hard things, especially with this insane pandemic. There is tons of uncertainty and anxiety and panic and cognitive dissonance about. But amidst all of it, here's a tiny sliver of a somewhat bright side: Being forced into a hard situation forces us to learn how to be okay there - even if we start out as not.

Ep #9: How to master your emotions
When emotions are high it's normal to feel like you're spiralling out of control and at the mercy of your feelings. But it doesn't have to be that way. It is possible to master your emotions and regain control - but the path there goes against our ego and isn't what our logical mind would have us believe.

Customer Reviews
Hannah is so relatable but erudite (how does she do it??)
I love this podcast. It feels like chatting to a friend. It’s like listening to the intelligent version of a YouTuber.
“Yes! I do that too. Oooooooh, interesting...”
^^ This is what I find myself thinking after every episode. And during. We’re all trying to make sense of the world - how does this affect me? Has anyone else had this random thought before? Am I a giant weirdo? What do other people actually think about!?
Hannah hits on all of these. But with the smart (and witty!) lens of a trained councilor. If you’re fascinated by humans, if you’re in a field where you need to speak to humans (so like, most of us...) listen to this! My favorite part is that there’s no neat, packaged “lesson” or “takeaway” at the end- you get to figure out what it all means yourself. And the episodes are the perfect length to listen to when you’re doing morning stuff.
SO good
I love how genuine and witty she is! Going to make this one part of my routine. Also like the fact that she’s brown and says her name like “Hunnuh”.
