Q&A with Hannah:
What current projects are you working on?
Currently, I’m focused on Season 2 of my podcast HOW I SEE IT, which has been such a meaningful project to me. I also run my social media full-time, which allows me to engage directly with my community. About a year and a half ago, I launched Unapologetic Strategies, my consulting agency that helps businesses establish a digital presence based on authenticity. The agency leverages influencer strategies to help businesses grow their communities, and it’s been amazing to see it evolve and have an impact on my clients.
Who is currently inspiring you with their wild and wise approach to life?
I am constantly inspired by women who unapologetically go after what they want, who show up as their true selves without worrying about others' opinions. It's the women who are redefining success and embracing both their vulnerability and their strength that inspire me. I’m also inspired by the women in my community who push boundaries, share their stories, and show up with authenticity in all areas of their lives.
How do you personally define a curated life?
To me, a curated life is about living intentionally and creating space for what truly matters to you. It’s about being mindful of how you spend your time and energy, ensuring that you’re investing in things that align with your values and bring you fulfillment. I’m someone who has always been passionate about authenticity, so for me, a curated life is about showing up in a way that’s true to myself and creating a life that’s based on my own terms.
What are your current aspirations and vision for the future, considering both your wild creative ideas and the wisdom you've gained?
I want to continue growing my digital community, especially my podcast audience. It’s such an important project to me because it’s about creating real connections through storytelling and vulnerability. I also have dreams of launching a clothing line and writing a book. Additionally, I want to grow Unapologetic Strategies into a larger team so we can take on more clients and help even more businesses build authentic digital presences. The vision is to expand and create a platform where I can reach even more people and help them feel seen and heard.
What daily practices or habits help you stay connected to your wild and wise self?
I focus on walking, reading, and affirmations to help me stay grounded and connected to myself. Rest is also really important to me—without it, I don’t function at my best. These habits allow me to recharge, maintain mental clarity, and continue to show up in my life and work authentically.
How has your community or network influenced your current projects and ideas?
When I started HOW I SEE IT, it was because I wanted to share my life and my struggles in a way that made people feel less alone. I wanted to show the value in authenticity and let women know that it’s okay to be vulnerable online. My community inspired me to dive deeper into our personal stories through the podcast and to launch Unapologetic Strategies. The need for support in being authentic on social media was clear, and that’s what motivated me to help other businesses and brands do the same. The community I’ve built—through Instagram, the podcast, and now the consulting agency—has been a direct result of people feeling alone and wanting support, both personally and professionally.
What advice would you give to aspiring visionaries?
My advice is simple: Be unapologetic. You are capable of anything you set your mind to. The only thing standing in your way is yourself. Don’t let fear or doubt stop you from going after what you want—trust yourself and take the leap.
What impact do you hope your current work will have on the world?
I want people to feel seen, heard, and inspired to be unapologetically themselves. Whether it’s through my podcast, my social media, or my consulting agency, I hope to remind people that they’re not alone in their struggles and journeys. I want to encourage authenticity, help others feel empowered in their lives, and create a space where mental health, relationships, and professional growth can be discussed openly and without shame.
