Ep. 9 - The Life of A Traveling Educator

Being a traveling educator looks glamorous on Instagram — but what’s it really like? In this episode, Hannah shares the real behind-the-scenes of airport chaos, quick turnarounds, hair show madness, and the beautiful connections that make it all worth it. Hear about her summer adventures through Seattle, Dallas, Vancouver, LA, and Phoenix — from dragging a suitcase full of doll heads up steep Seattle hills to teaching alongside some of the industry’s most inspiring artists. If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to live the educator lifestyle (or thought about becoming one yourself), this episode will give you the unfiltered truth — equal parts messy, magical, and motivating.

I’ll spill what finally worked for me on TikTok, why Instagram is still a love/hate relationship, and the biggest lessons I’ve learned about content, consistency, and creativity.

Life’s a Messy Bun: A Mid-Summer Update

Hey friends! This week I’m popping on for a quick life update while I prep for some major things coming to the podcast. From surviving Comic-Con madness in San Diego to rushing my sweet girl Ellie to the ER after a bee sting (yes, she’s okay 🐶💗), it’s been a WEEK. I’m also finally setting up my new podcast studio (!!), working on guest interviews, and even designing some very cute Hairiffic merch for you all—more on that soon. Oh, and our new puppy Ember? Still unhinged. Plus, I took a little road trip up to LA for a private screening of David and Alexis Thurston’s new rock documentary “If These Walls Could Rock”—so good, I laughed and cried. It’s a little chaotic, a little heartfelt, and a whole lot of me. Next week I’ll be back with a full episode (hint: true crime + hair 👀), so stay tuned and thanks for being here. 💕
