if you have been called an old-soul, you feel everyone's feelings, you can walk into the room and sense the energy, you can't tolerate artificial scents like laundry detergents, sugar, processed foods, and sodas - perhaps you are a highly-attuned empath and here for higher things. learn what an empath is, how to keep your channel clean, that you are here for important things, and have medicine on your heart that is meant to be shared.

this past week as I walked barefoot on the earth; she delivered me a message "slow down, slow down, slow down" she said , "I can heal but not quite that fast" fall calls us back to rhythm, routine, and slowing down. slowing down isn't a "bad thing", lazy, or any other negative connotations we often associate with it; slowing down is a chance to have more integrity, intention, depth, and peaceful presence. if you feel like you are running on 2.0x speed, overwhelmed, like you are consuming information from a fire hose and are unable to transmute it - this weeks episode is for you. this seasonal reminder will leave you with tips, tricks, and healing action steps you can begin to incorporate into your life and have more peace this season.

present moment awareness, be here now. yesterday is history tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift which is why it i s called "the present". if you feel like your mind is pulled 100 different ways, multiple tabs always open, treading water, things are slipping between your finger tips - could you find more present moment awareness. we still do everything we need to do - but we do it full hearted, we do it with presence and ultimately peace follows healing always, hannah

if i knew 10 years ago what i know now, I would tell myself take the curriculum. when i was navigating depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation - i wish i would have known that all of that big energy was coming up was really there to show me how to drop the veil, step into my truth, how to heal, and grow into the highest version of myself. everything i learned then, allows me to navigate life's challenges now (not perfectly, but much more refined) what i wish i would have known then is that time was actually my greatest gift. it may not feel like it in the moment (trust me i know) but what I can tell you standing on the other side is this, if you are committed to yourself, committed to peace, committed to healing and happiness - this is your season of learning and building your tool box. instead of looking at it like "why is life happening to me" .....for each big thing coming up ask "how am i being pushed to grow through this", "what is this showing me" , "how is this leveling me up" when you do that over and over again you build an inner resilience no one can ever take away, you become the wise woman because you've sat in the fire and didn't turn away from it by masking, drinking, smoking, ignoring it - you faced it head on and allowed it to refine you. so if you feel like you've hit rock bottom, your in your first crisis moment, you can't see the light, and you're having a dark night of the soul moment - soak it all up, be a sponge, build out your toolbox, and take the curriculum.

why do we as humans keep saying - diet starts monday or make plans to go to the gym and then don't? what happens when we don't do what we say we are going to? most folks instantly feel a sense of dread, talk negatively about themselves, embarrassed, perhaps depression sinks in. but most importantly, we lose trust with ourselves. what if you're someone who feels nervous to make plans because "will I be able to follow through when those plans get there and actually be able to do it?" so instead you either don't make plans and aren't living your life or you make the plans, bail, and the negative self talk kicks in. sound familiar? in todays episode let's talk about how you can change the narrative, change the story and become a person who shows up in life. when you show up in the every day....you show up with full capacity everywhere in life, because how you do one thing, is how you do everything. life is meant to be lived! and you are meant to trust and show up for yourself !

have something on your heart? a stirring? an inner knowing? a whispering voice? what if what's on your heart doesn't resonate with what society or your parents deemed as successful but you feel in an absolute flow state when you are living in that space? here is your reminder YOU ARE MEANT TO LIVE FROM YOUR HEART SPACE. if everyone did what was "normal" we wouldn't have art, music, healing, cooks, good moms, chefs, innovators! when you live in your light - you give others permission to do the same, you awaken the spark in their heart. may we all wake up and live from this space.

this is an excerpt from the $28 for 28 challenge - but feels fitting as this comes up ALOT in my coaching practice which is when we are doing something new, that if we can't do it perfectly, we don't want to do it at all. but here's the deal - there is no "perfect' life is about progress and actually showing up. just like that newborn baby learning to walk doesn't do it perfectly the first 1000 times, neither do we - give yourself grace, keep showing up, and keep shining

you know how i feel by now - your body is capable of healing and I'm tired of people thinking that debilitating cycles, extremely heavy flows, and hysterectomies are "the normal" while you may have been told that those terrible pains were your forever and normal - they don't have to be. (and perhaps you do need conventional intervention - but you can partner that alongside nutrition and lifestyle for more ease) often times hormone imbalances are the result of not enough building blocks or not enough nutrients, stress, inflammation, endocrine disruptors, and insulin/metabolic dysregulation. (there is certainly a genetic component -but as the quote goes "genetics loads the gun and lifestyle pulls the trigger") -hormones aren't the bad guys, but a way of telling your body that something is off. your body is speaking to you and asking for you to listen. -usually when we give the body what it needs and work on the foundations (movement, nourishment, sleep and stress) the body starts to heal - it's not about it being "perfect" but taking steps back towards healings. and yes while endo, PMOS, infertility, and excess estrogen are different diagnosis - they have similar foundations you can begin to work on. once you have worked the foundation steps, we get to come in with some more specific herbs, labs, or nutrients. listen in to this weeks episode about walking your body home to health so you can feel more balanced, have more peace, and live the life of good energy you desire.

my favorite episode i have recorded to date - so you know that is good stuff. I sat down with Rich Larochelle of the Rappahannock Education Farm to discuss how one farm is trying to close the gap on food scarcity in their community. It's not a secret that certain communities and populations have a harder time accessing healthy foods, whether that be lack of funding, access, availability, the means to prepare fresh foods, or lack of education. but it's also not a secret that health = wealth, that nutrition allows folks to heal, feel good, prevent illness, stay alert in school, have energy, show up in life. The Rappahannock Education Farm is on a mission in Fredericksburg to grow over 100,000lbs of fresh produce and close that food insecurity gap; to get in the hands of community members FOR FREE! And they are doing it. This episode highlights that when we are walking in our life's purpose, show up together in our unique gifts, work to support not just ourselves but others that anything can happen. Trust. Faith. So if you have something BIG on your heart - a desire to do something bigger than yourself, to leave an impact in your lifetime, support your community, it's possible for you. You have a gift. You are here for a reason. Highest gratitude to Rich, if you know him, you know how truly special of a human he is. Gratitude to the farm for all they provide. Gratitude to God for bringing us together as humans to support one another and walk each other home To Donate or Volunteer : https://www.rappahannockfarm.org/ Enjoy!

since we are talking about hormones and endocrine this month, this is a re-release of a previous episode - but if it's not broke - don't fix it. cold hands and toes? constipated? brain fog? feeling heavy and stuck? hormone imbalance? what about the opposite... can't sit still? constantly revved up? heart palpitations anxious? diarrhea? it could be your thyroid - but listen up because we're going to get into some action steps AND how your body is capable of healing. thyroid medication is one of the top medications prescribed in the US - and yet....people still have symptoms OR folks are going to their doctor and getting a basic thyroid panel run and being told everything looks normal; and yet when we run a full functional thyroid panel, we find that thyroid conversion isn't happening and so people are still feeling run down, exhausted, fatigued, and struggling with weight gain. the thyroid sets the pace in your body - revving things up or slowing things down depending on signals. we have to make sure the body sending good signaling, things like inflammation aren't mucking up signaling, and make sure we are giving the body every thing it needs to come into balance - when we do that. thyroid signaling comes back online. happy healing Sign up for $28 for 28 https://www.holistichealthwithhannah.com/copy-of-rewild-my-energy

When I was exhausted - I felt what it would feel like to have good energy When I was reactive, I felt like peace and happiness felt like When I was anxious and nervous but wanted to do something big - I felt what confident business ownership was. I felt it, became an energetic match for it - and then manifested it into my life. I now have good energy, have peace with my family, and happily own a business I love. it's not perfect but wow does it feel good! I used to spend a lot of time analyzing what was wrong with me "I am depressed because" " I never have energy" I can't open a business because", I don't have consistent energy" "I can't stick with things" but by doing that... i was reinforcing those thoughts - solidifying those truths. One day - I just decided to do it differently. I felt how I wanted my life to feel, saw it, envisioned it, meditated on it, spoke it - all before it was actually here. I manifested it into my life. Here is the deal...suffering is optional, who knows why we're here but we get to decide how want life to go going forward Health, healing, and abundance is available to all. Our brain is POWERFUL and if we stay in that negative feedback loop - that becomes our truth. If we show our brain what we want - over and over and over again - that becomes our new truth. Knowing that is true for you, how would you rather feel? Confident? Strong? Healthy? Energetic? Owner of an Airstream? To have abundance and support people who support the Earth? Travel? Yes it may feel a little woo woo or far out, but why not try if everything else is feeling stuck? If you are curious how manifestation can support your health, energy, and life - check out this weeks podcast.
