Seeing Other People

I’m joined by Han Haunte, host of How I See It, for a vulnerable conversation about mental health, dating patterns, and the real (often messy) work of healing. We talk about how moving out of her comfort zone triggered depression and anxiety, how self-hatred shaped who she dated, and why being “real” with yourself is the first step toward real peace. Hannah opens up about choosing discomfort to find clarity, busts a few big healing myths, and shares why fear has been one of her greatest teachers.

I sit down with Danielle Dietzek and Julie Griggs, the cofounders of Fourplay Social (@fourplaysocial), for a real, unfiltered girl chat. We’re diving deep into what it feels like when your friends are hitting major life milestones like marriage, babies, and buying homes, while you're still single and wondering if you’re getting left behind. We talk about the pressure to define yourself by your relationship status, the confusing space of wanting a relationship but knowing it might not quite fit into your life right now, and the scary thought of maybe not finding a life partner at all. We also get into how to meet new single friends as an adult, and how to bring up these vulnerable conversations with the people in your life—without shame, and without feeling like you're being dramatic.
