2 day hangover with hana elson : Recent Episodes
Hana
A 20 somethings vent sesh where we discuss the damp lifestyle, post-grad life, mental health, and how to implement realistic balance. Together we will laugh, cry, give & take advice, and try our best to avoid the 2 day hangover!
this week, ngozi musa joins the pod to talk all about what wellness and balance looks like during every phase of life. We talk about what it was like refinding a true wellness identity postgrad, how to assess what impactful movement means, habit stacking, and she even answers the shocking question -- do morning people actually have energy to workout at 6am every day ;)
if you don't already, you'll have to follow ngozi on everything after listening to this!

consider this episode an inside look at a girl's group chat post breakup ;)
no but really, there are layers to healing and the best way to analyze them is with your friends! this episode is all about supporting friends during healing, how to not compare yourself to the new girl, the best way to slide into the DMs, and last but not least we will in fact randomly discuss finances (personally learned a lot).
healing is a journey, its not linear, and you can restart more than once. & most importantly, you're never truly healing alone.
ps. sorry about the sound, we had some technical difficulties. I am the problem, its me.

To refresh our memory, and introduce the concept of the "damp lifestyle" to those who are new - this episode is all about what exactly the damp lifestyle means, the ins and outs of a balanced weekend, and terms we can use to romanticize our relationship with alcohol in a positive way.
Disclaimer: This episode is not for those who define themselves as sober, because alcohol is referenced throughout the episode!

Happy 2023 & Happy Season 2!
For the first episode back, we talk about how to notice our internal cues & energy levels and turn it into action.
From being aware of our healing journey & the energy we give prospective partners while dating, to listening to our introverted vs. extroverted sides, to how dry or dryish january can transcend into the year if we do it right!
Plus as usual, a lot more.
On the last (!) episode of the season before 2023, we talk about how to make new traditions surrounding the Holidays that are focused on balance and maintaining routine.
One of these new traditions is learning how to set New Year's resolutions with a "why." So, a few friends answered 2 simple questions: "What is one thing you have learned this year" and "What is one thing you want to focus on next year." Listening to their answers, you will be able to see a clear theme in how these answers can bring them to make a meaningful resolution that could actually stick. Plus, maybe some of their answers will inspire you to make your own!
See you all Next Year :)

With the Holidays in full swing, a lot of us are already reflecting on this past year and looking forward to the New Year.
This week, we discuss figuring out a "why" when setting New Years resolutions, setting boundaries with friends/family/romantic connections when making a change in life (especially around our relationship with alcohol), and discuss tips on how to maintain these resolutions.
It takes both self-discovery and conversations with others to set a boundary - so lets unpack that a bit more!

This week, I share my own mental health journey. Moments of vulnerability lead to change, so lets do it together! In the episode, we discuss that feeling of guilt when relating your own struggles to others, healing your inner high school self, getting in a positive routine, and how to get to a spot where we can genuinely look at the world and be happy to be in it :)

Moving to a new town or city as a 20 something can be daunting no matter who you are. This week we discuss how to know when it is time to move, getting attached to people instead of places, and making friends in new places. "If not now, then when!"
2 drink or not 2 drink... the question that stresses us all out a bit more than it should. On this episode, we unpack drinking culture from a social aspect and talk through how to have a successful "damp" night out & build our confidence to do so. We debunk the myth that drinking less makes you "not fun anymore," talk through what to order at the bar between drinks, find ways to find fulfillment beyond drinking during your weekends, discuss being around drunk people when you are not, and analyze the damp lifestyle in a college setting!
This week one of my best friend's from college - Vivi - joins me to unpack female friendships. We answer questions ranging from how to manage long distance friendships, friend soulmates, phasing out friendships without drama, one-sided friendships, and more. This year is allll about knowing our worth - when it comes to friendships too!
We are in our healing era!! Part of growing during a breakup is analyzing how to heal, so on this episode we talk through it together. We discuss having healthy anger, whether taking breaks are possible, and how being proud of personal growth can single-handedly get us through the end of a relationship. It took me 2 days to process a very surprising breakup and here is why!
Welcome to 2 day hangover with Hana Elson! To start us off, I get personal and share how the damp lifestyle came to be, what it has taken to build personal confidence, and how balance has allowed me to begin my healing era. We end the episode answering your questions about being there for your friend who has mental health work to do, when to know to leave the bar on a "damp" night, and how to build independence.
Excited to begin this journey with y'all!
