Ep20- What Creates Lasting Connection (And What Destroys It) with Melody Lubin

Ep22-Our Break Up: From Grief to Friendship with Sage Jefferys

Todays episode is super vulnerable, my x partner of 3 years, Sage Jefferys sits down with me to share about our story of love, our dreams for a future on the Ocean, our break up and our process of letting go. It has always been wild to me that people can love each other one day, meaning so much to each other and then completely cut each other out of their lives, once the partnership ends. We wanted to share a different way and what it took to make friendship not only possible but feel nourishing and emotionally balanced. How Sage showed up for me in the months after we closed our connection made all the difference to us being able to remain friends. It wasn't always easy but I'm so grateful for where we are at in our friendship, our allyship and feel proud to share this episode with you all today.

Ep21-The Hidden Biology of Embodiment with Matt Bruce

Today I sit down with Matt Bruce, Former Australian Special Forces, now a somatic practitioner, trauma facilitator and founder of the Somatic Microdosing School. After 10 years of service, active deployments and the PTSD that came with them, Matt found his way into the healing arts, and what he's gathered along the way is a rare blend of the technical and the mystical. We move through his Kundalini awakening, the maladaptive patterns he had to unwind, and how he came to understand the body on an organ-by-organ, energetic level. From there we go deep on blood and magnetism, why low iron is rarely just low iron, the role of water in our biology, and the new research from the Dr Emoto Institute on "primary water" that reframes our collective scarcity around water. This one bridges science and the sacred.

Ep20- What Creates Lasting Connection (And What Destroys It) with Melody Lubin

What does it really take to call in and sustain a relationship that truly thrives? In this episode, Hannah and returning guest Melody Lubin get honest about the side of relationships we don't always want to look at. They explore the profound power women hold in partnership, what it means to take radical responsibility for your role in relating, and a refreshingly different lens on calling in your person, one that goes beyond what manifestation culture typically teaches. At the heart of it all is a shared prayer: to call in unions that amplify your mission and serve something greater than yourself. This one will stay with you.
