Meet Hannah. At 22, she moved to NYC for a dream job and ended up spiraling into a deep depression. As a way to cope with the sadness, she began writing letters and leaving them around the city — bookstores, coffee shops, libraries, everywhere.

An acclaimed author and TEDx speaker, Hannah knows heartfelt storytelling and breaks it down for us.
