    Stop Speaking Safely: How to Find and Use Your Real Voice

    If you’re only speaking in ways that feel safe to the people around you, you’re likely not speaking in your real voice. In " Stop Speaking Safely: How to Find and Use Your Real Voice," episode 109 of The Mindful Startup Podcast, we explore what it actually means to find and use your true voice — not the filtered or palatable version, but the one that feels aligned, grounded, and fulfilling to express. We break down the two-step process for developing your voice: deeply understanding yourself (including the traits you may avoid or judge), and practicing self-expression in environments that feel safe to your nervous system. This episode is about alignment, clarity, and learning to express ideas without performing, posturing, or self-censoring.

    Follow the Vibes — Why Intuition Is the Ultimate Power Move in 2026

    In this first episode of 2026, we’re talking about something subtle, powerful, and often underestimated: intuition. There is a quiet kind of magic that happens when you trust your gut — when you make decisions before you have evidence, when you go against consensus, and when you stop outsourcing your power to other people’s opinions. This episode is about learning to recognize that internal signal and using it as a strategic advantage. We explore why intuition is not random or mystical, but a form of deep intelligence — one that becomes stronger the more you practice it. From business decisions and opportunities, to people, timing, and everyday choices, following the vibes consistently leads to more aligned outcomes and fewer regrets. You’ll learn: Why ignoring your intuition almost always leads to misalignment How intuition connects you to your most capable, sovereign self Simple ways to practice trusting your gut in low-stakes situations Why logic alone will only take you so far — and what takes you further If 2026 is the year you want to move with clarity, confidence, and precision — this episode is your reminder to listen to what you already know. Thank you for being part of The Mindful Startup. I’m so glad you’re here.

    How to Build Momentum Toward Your Goals When You Have Low Energy

    Episode 105 of The Mindful Startup explores a truth most ambitious people never hear: You do not need perfect energy, perfect health, or perfect circumstances to build real momentum toward your goals. You only need to use the windows you do have—and stop waiting for the imaginary “perfect moment” that never comes. In this episode, Hannah shares her experience navigating long COVID, chronic fatigue, and a newly uncovered autoimmune disorder, and how these challenges reframed her entire relationship with productivity and ambition. This is a powerful reminder for founders, creatives, and high achievers who don’t always wake up feeling energized or invincible. You are not behind. You are not alone. And you are far more capable than you think—even on the days when you're operating at 20%. Why waiting for “high energy days” keeps you stuck How to take meaningful action when you’re tired, hurting, or overwhelmed The truth about ambition when you're dealing with chronic fatigue, trauma, or autoimmune symptoms Why your progress counts even when it’s imperfect How to set yourself up to take fast action the moment inspiration hits The myth of the “superhuman entrepreneur,” and why realistic, sustainable momentum wins Why pros “play hurt”—and what that looks like for founders You don’t need to feel amazing to make meaningful progress. Your lower-energy self is still capable of brilliance. Success is built from imperfect action, not perfect conditions. You are probably producing at a higher level than you think, even on your hardest days. You deserve to reach your goals—tired, hurting, sad, human and all. Anyone dealing with chronic fatigue, long COVID, autoimmune symptoms, or energy fluctuations Founders, creatives, side hustlers, and overachievers who feel "behind" High performers who believe progress only counts when it’s perfect Anyone who needs permission to create anyway

    Why Relationships Change When You Grow (And Why That’s Normal)

    In this episode of The Mindful Startup, we talk about one of the most confusing and emotional side effects of personal growth: changing relationships. As you become more grounded in who you are, clarify your values, and raise your standards, friendships and relationship dynamics often begin to shift. Some drift naturally. Others feel harder to maintain. And sometimes, it can be deeply lonely—even when you know you’re growing in the right direction. We explore why personal growth often leads to outgrowing friendships, how to let go of guilt when relationships change, and how to stop taking distance, lack of response, or exclusion personally. Drawing inspiration from Mel Robbins’ Let Them philosophy, this episode reframes changing friendships as a natural season of life—not a failure or a rejection. You’ll learn: • Why self-growth changes relationship dynamics • How to release unrealistic expectations in friendships • Why people’s behavior is usually about capacity, not you • How to “let them” without resentment or self-blame • Why no relationship is meant to meet every emotional need If you’ve ever felt confused, hurt, or isolated as you’ve evolved, this episode will help you understand what’s happening—and move forward with more clarity and self-respect.
