message from han: i'm Hannah AKA Han and I am the creator behind HOWHANSEESIT: the Blog, Instagram, Tik Tok, and, now, host of How I See It the pod. You may already know me from my social channels, but if you don't, I started blogging in 2017 with a drive to authentically share my life unapologetically and inspire others to do the same through fashion, beauty, & my personal lifestyle while prioritizing transparency, mental health, & realness.
On this pod, I will be interviewing people from all different walks of life and all different industries; my hope is that it becomes a place to illuminate people’s interesting and unique stories; their journey, the hardships they've faced, and how they built their career. You can even expect tips and expertise from my guests.
I am so happy to have you here: I think we tend to isolate ourselves; a lot of us go through the same things & I think it’s important to share, which is why I've launched this podcast. The words "unapologetic", "authentic", "realness"... are words I hope, if you don’t already, you start to associate with my platforms and this podcast. Welcome to HOW I SEE IT!

159: On today’s episode, Han jumps on for a SOLO episode all about discipline: how to build success, why discipline is a skill you can actually develop, and how staying present can completely change the way you view discipline as you approach personal growth, success, and your mental health.
Han gets into one of the questions she gets asked most: how do you stay so motivated? The truth is, she doesn’t. Motivation comes and goes. But when motivation falters, discipline is something you can learn to rely on.
She breaks down why she doesn’t believe disciplined people are simply born that way, why discipline is a skill that can be strengthened and flexed over time, and why so much of building discipline comes down to staying present and learning to keep promises to yourself.
Han gets into:
- Why discipline matters more than motivation
- How discipline can actually be developed and strengthened over time
- Why consistency often matters more than talent, intelligence, or qualification
- Building confidence and self-trust by keeping small promises to yourself
- Why the promises you make to yourself don’t need to be massive to create meaningful change
- Creating consistency through small, low-stakes daily actions
- Why staying present is one of the most important parts of becoming disciplined
- How constantly thinking about where you “should” be can make it harder to take action
- The pressure to be more successful, make more money, feel more healed, or be further along than you are
- Why obsessing over the end goal can actually work against your personal growth
- How to know where you’re going without thinking about the destination every single day
- Focusing on what actually moves the needle forward today
- How small, consistent actions compound over time
- Adjusting your expectations of what the journey toward success is supposed to look and feel like
- Learning to trust yourself and the process even when you can’t see immediate results
- Small ways that Han stays disciplined in her mental health and wellnesss routines
& MORE!
This episode is for anyone who is struggling to stay consistent, who's procrastinating on taking action, or feeling overwhelmed by how far they still have to go. If you’re working toward becoming more successful, mentally well, confident, disciplined, or simply becoming someone you can rely on, this episode is a reminder to know where you’re going, come back to today, and trust that what you do consistently will compound over time.

157: On today’s episode, Han sits down with Isaac Hindin-Miller, a fashion journalist turned DJ, interviewer, content creator, and founder of I LIKE YOU!, for an honest conversation about external validation, low self-worth, negative self-talk, and the lifelong work of learning how to feel whole within yourself.
Isaac and Han unpack the realization that no amount of attention, achievement, access, popularity, or external approval can fill an internal void. They discuss what it actually takes to rebuild your self-esteem, interrupt destructive thought patterns, stop outsourcing your worth, and choose peace and acceptance instead of constantly chasing happiness. They get into:
- Why external approval can never create lasting self-worth
- Why happiness cannot be contingent on external validation
- Choosing acceptance and peace instead of chasing constant happiness
- Navigating imposter syndrome and self doubt
- How to interrupt cruel and destructive negative self-talk
- The problem with finding validation elsewhere
- Depression, sobriety, and breaking cycles of self-destructive behavior
- The connection between low self-esteem and unhealthy coping mechanisms
- Social media, comparison, and attaching your value to your work

- Why understanding your emotions is different from actually feeling them
- How choosing a different behavior can lead to a healthier mindset
- Finding identity, hobbies, and joy outside of your career
- How relationships act as mirrors for the parts of ourselves that still need healing

156: This week, Han sits down with Jess Windell, founder of Maven PR and a public relations expert to investigate what it takes to build a foundation of self-trust through acts of courage.
Jess and Han have an honest conversation about the psychology behind confidence, courage, risk, productivity, ambition, and creating a life that feels meaningful beyond your career.

The girls get into:
- Why confidence is the outcome of courage
- How taking risks builds self-trust
- Calling off a wedding when nothing was “wrong,” but it still wasn’t right
- Why comfort can keep you trapped in the wrong life
- Letting go of the timeline and future you planned
- Navigating rejection, uncertainty, and unexpected changes
- Manifestation beyond material goals
- The pressure to always be productive
- Why traditional ideas of rest do not work for everyone
- Separating your worth from your career, relationship, or motherhood
- Creating a full life before finding a partner or having children
- Why placing your entire identity into one area of your life can be dangerous

& MORE!
This episode is for anyone learning how to trust themselves, make a difficult decision, leave something that is comfortable but no longer aligned, or release the pressure to have their entire life figured out. Jess and Han remind us that confidence does not always come before the leap—sometimes, confidence is built by proving to yourself that you are capable of taking it.

153: On today's solo episode, Han opens up about one of the hardest seasons of her life and the question she's been asking:
What actually makes life worth living?
Despite experiencing the most success she's ever had in her career, Han shares why she's simultaneously been navigating one of the darkest chapters of her personal life. She reflects on returning to therapy, her experience with MDMA-assisted therapy, healing from complex trauma, and why she believes so much of our suffering comes from resisting life's inevitable dualities rather than learning to hold them.
This episode is an honest conversation about mental health, depression, healing, fear, and learning to find freedom even when life feels uncertain. Han explores why happiness can actually feel more frightening than pain after trauma, why control keeps us stuck, and why true healing begins the moment we stop trying to escape discomfort and start embracing life's gray areas.
Han gets into:
- what actually makes life worth living
- why success doesn't always equal happiness
- returning to therapy and pursuing deeper healing
- MDMA-assisted therapy and reconnecting to your body
- intellectualizing your emotions vs. actually feeling them
- accepting life's dualities instead of resisting them
- learning to live in the gray

- why happiness can feel scarier than trauma

152: On today's episode, psychotherapist and founder of Therapy in the City, joins the podcast for a conversation about what it actually means to heal.
So many of us spend our lives chasing happiness while trying to avoid pain, but what if the very thing we're resisting is what allows us to experience the deepest joy?
Aliza explains why healing isn't about becoming happy all the time, but about learning to embrace the full human experience. The girls unpack why discomfort isn't something to escape, why uncertainty is one of life's greatest teachers, and how letting go of control can completely transform the way we experience life. The girls get into:
- why pain is required for joy
- why avoiding your emotions creates more suffering
- processing your feelings instead of escaping them
- accepting the full human experience
- embracing life's dualities
- why happiness isn't the goal of healing
- letting go of control and embracing uncertainty
- why some people naturally experience emotions more intensely
- the Biosocial Theory and why mental health isn't always rooted in trauma
- why you are not your thoughts, emotions, or past experiences
- the difference between your first thought and your second thought (more on rewiring the brain)
- why high achievers often struggle to feel their emotions
- slowing down, stillness, and the power of the pause
- understanding shame and where it stems from
- what Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is and how it helps us heal
- psychology and spirituality... why healing requires both
- redefining what true joy actually looks like
- dating, attachment styles, and choosing relationships that align with your values
& MORE!
This episode is for anyone who struggles to relinquish control, finds themselves in patterns of emotional avoidance, or is constantly chasing happiness while resisting pain. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by uncertainty, uncomfortable emotions, or the inevitable ups and downs of life, this conversation will completely reframe what healing actually looks like. Because true joy isn't found in avoiding pain... it's found in learning how to hold both.

151: On today’s episode, President of Peanut and former Bumble executive Michelle Battersby joins the podcast for an honest conversation around ambition, imposter syndrome, motherhood, and the pressure women feel to choose between building a successful career and building a family.
Michelle opens up about helping scale Bumble, launching and later selling her company Sunroom, navigating the mental health challenges that come with entrepreneurship, and learning to trust herself through seasons of uncertainty. The girls unpack purpose, imposter syndrome, self-doubt, societal expectations placed on women.

- why women are still penalized for motherhood in ways men aren't

- work-life balance and redefining what it means to "have it all"

- & MORE!

150: On today's episode, Jess Girod, creator, season 27 contestant of The Bachelor, and season 9 contestant of Bachelor in Paradise, jumps on the podcast for a conversation about heartbreak, self-worth, childhood wounds, and the relationship patterns we unknowingly carry into adulthood. Jess opens up about growing up in a household filled with conflict, the fear of repeating her parents' relationship, and the realization that she was settling—not just in dating, but in life.
Through stories of heartbreak, healing, situationships, and self-discovery, Jess shares how some of her most painful experiences became the catalyst for deeper growth. The girls unpack self-abandonment, fear of intimacy, closure, emotional availability, dating standards, and what it actually means to build a relationship rooted in authenticity rather than familiarity. This conversation is a reminder that healing isn't about finding the right person—it's about becoming someone who no longer abandons themselves.
The girls get into:
- fear of repeating your parents' relationship
- growing up around conflict and how childhood wounds shape adult relationships
- why we often settle for what feels familiar
- self-abandonment and losing yourself in relationships
- navigating betrayal, heartbreak, and relationship trauma
- why heartbreak can become one of life's greatest teachers
- fear of intimacy and emotional vulnerability
- learning that authentic love requires authenticity from yourself first
- why closure isn't something another person can give you
- situationships, rejection, and unanswered questions
- relationship patterns and breaking cycles that no longer serve you
- self-worth while single
- the pressure women feel to find a relationship
- dating standards, emotional availability, and self-respect
- why the right relationship won't require convincing, chasing, or forcing
- choosing hope after heartbreak
This episode is for anyone healing from heartbreak, working through childhood wounds, questioning a relationship, struggling with self-worth, or trying to break old relationship patterns. If you've ever found yourself settling, seeking closure, abandoning your needs, or wondering why the same lessons keep showing up in your relationships, this conversation will remind you that healing begins when you stop looking for validation outside of yourself and start trusting what you already know.

148: On today’s episode, Masha Kay, nervous system regulation coach, jumps on the podcast to unpack the deeper psychology behind high achievement and how it’s a tool for nervous system regulation. Han shares her Substack (linked here), which opens a conversation into what it actually means to heal beyond just intellectualizing your patterns and explore how many ambitious people use work, achievement, and constant productivity as coping mechanisms to avoid feeling, and how protector parts developed in childhood can continue running our lives long after we no longer need them to survive.
The girls get into:
- productivity as a coping mechanism & form of emotional avoidance
- why high achievers struggle to slow down
- nervous system regulation, trauma healing, & somatic healing
- what “parts work” actually is
- protector parts & how they try to keep us safe from feelings that once weren’t safe to experience
- why intellectualizing your healing is not the same as embodying it
- dissociation, overwhelm, & constantly needing to stay busy
- reconnecting to the body & learning how to feel below the neck
- why healing can actually feel unsafe for the nervous system
- inner child work, emotional suppression, & survival strategies
- how ambition and achievement can become trauma responses
- why awareness alone doesn’t always create transformation
- learning how to feel instead of avoid
- the difference between numbing and true healing
- Learning to surrender to the process of healing
& MORE!
This episode is for anyone who feels they may be using productivity and achievement as a form of emotional suppression or avoidance, anyone feeling frustrated in their healing journey despite being “self aware,” anyone pursuing trauma healing and looking into nervous system regulation, or anyone wanting to better understand parts work, protector parts, inner child healing, and what it actually means to feel instead of intellectualize.

146: On today’s episode, Han sits down with Ksenia Zaytseva, founder of Bur Bur Hair Care, to talk about her story. From moving to the U.S. without speaking English, to building from nothing, and the mindset it takes to keep going when there’s no proof it’s going to work.
This is a conversation about perseverance, self belief, and committing to a path without a plan B. The girls get into:
• moving to the U.S. without speaking English & starting over
• why “no plan B” changes the way you show up
• living “comfortably uncomfortable” vs actually taking risks
• delusional self belief & trusting yourself before there’s proof
• ignoring what feels logical to follow what you know is meant for you
• why thinking from point A to Z keeps you stuck
• navigating hardship, sacrifice & starting from nothing
• being told something is impossible—and doing it anyway
• money as energy & removing a scarcity mindset
• how your beliefs shape the reality you experience
• breaking limits & refusing to keep yourself small
• the mindset behind building Bur Bur Hair Care
• why scalp care is the most overlooked part of beauty
Ksenia shares how she pushed past what felt logical to follow a deeper knowing that she was meant for more, why success came from continuing to show up without validation, and how her relationship with money as energy shaped the way she built her life and business.
This episode is for anyone who feels like they’re starting from nothing, questioning their path, or trying to trust themselves before the results show up. It’s also for anyone who knows they’re meant for more but is still learning how to move through fear, take risks, and actually go after it.

145: On today’s episode, Han and her best friend Britt are recapping their experience at Coachella, something that ended up being way deeper than either of them expected. What started as a festival weekend turned into a reflection on inner child healing, self awareness, and the ways we disconnect from ourselves in the name of being “productive,” “mature,” or “put together.”
They also break down the reality behind the curated content, why Coachella isn’t always as fun as it looks online, and what the environment revealed about their relationship to joy, play, and shame. Han and Britt also get into dating standards, self respect, and what it actually looks like to do the work in therapy, learning how to move through discomfort, question your patterns, and reconnect with parts of yourself you may have shut down over time. The girls get into:
- why Coachella is seen as the “playground for your inner child”
- feeling disconnected from your inner child
- why “fun” can feel unproductive or uncomfortable
- the judgment we hold against our younger selves
- learning how to experience joy without shame
- doing the work in therapy & building self awareness
- getting uncomfortable for the sake of growth
- the reality of Coachella vs. what you see on social media
- why the festival isn’t as glamorous as it looks
- Everything you need to know about artist passes
- how curated content shapes perception
- dating standards, respect & the bare minimum standards
- navigating modern dating & emotional maturity
This episode is for anyone who feels disconnected from their inner child, struggles to let themselves experience joy without overthinking it, or is working through self awareness, shame, and healing in a deeper way. It’s also for anyone navigating dating, redefining their standards, or realizing that what you see online is rarely the full picture.

142: On today’s episode, Jacq Gold, founder and force behind Your Inner Babe: a self-growth program focused on self connection, joins the podcast to share her personal healing journey and what it actually means to be connected to yourself. This conversation gets into the layers of self trust, the coping mechanisms we mistake for truth, and how self-connection is more than just awareness, it’s finding safety within ourselves.
The girls get into:
• why self connection is a skill, and why most of us were never taught how to be in a relationship with ourselves
• why we assign ourselves false identities to feel safe, and how those labels disconnect us from who we actually are
• how protector parts and coping mechanisms are often mistaken for personality traits or authenticity
• the connection between control, eating disorders, and not expressing your truth, even to yourself
• why self awareness without action is actually choosing to stay the same and why self trust is a requirement
• the difference between “I am this” vs. “I feel this,” and how that shift creates space for healing and emotional regulation
• auditing your inner dialogue and actively challenging negative self talk in real time
• the misconception that healing means you’ll one day feel no pain, and why it’s actually about building resilience
• what real vulnerability looks like beyond surface-level sharing, and how telling the truth brings you closer to yourself
• how we’ve learned to present what’s “palatable” to others, and how that can pull us further away from what we actually feel
• why self connection is a choice, and how everything changes when you decide to show up for yourself differently
This episode is for anyone who feels disconnected from themselves, stuck in patterns they can’t fully understand, or questioning what parts of them are real vs. learned. If you’re ready to step past self awareness and take action in your life, this conversation is for you.
