Digital Diary with Hannah Elise

27 | A 20-minute reminder to check in with yourself today. It's way too easy to get caught up in our routines & work cycles, and we sometimes can forget to prioritize ourselves. This week, I wanted to encourage you to take intentional time to sit with and focus on YOURSELF & only yourself (keyword: intentional). 

This episode contains 6 simple prompts that you can use to get back in touch with yourself & how you're doing at this moment in life. Feel free to revisit this episode as often as you need to.

26 | Just realized I'm posting an episode about independence on Independence Day (lol), BUT - this week, we're diving deeper into the art & power of DOING THINGS ALONE. I consider myself very independent and do (and enjoy doing) a lot of things alone. However, like most things in life, it didn't happen overnight. 

This episode is for anyone who is curious to start doing things alone & become more independent but is nervous about it at the same time. I got you.

25 | Lately, I've been realizing that so much of life is "playing the long game." I've been thinking about the different areas of my life and how some have progressed & given me more clarity, while others are left with question marks instead of clear destinations. This week, I wanted to dive into this concept of "playing the long game" in life, what it means to me, and why it's not a bad thing.

24 | How many times can I say "let them" in one episode? The limit does not exist.

I saw a post by Mel Robbins about the "let them" theory a couple of weeks ago, and it has genuinely changed my mindset, perspective, and life since. I think everyone can benefit from hearing this, so I wanted to share it with you all. I'm talking through what this theory/mindset means, its implications in my own life, and why I think it's so important.

23 | Happy Tuesday, friends! This week, we are back doing one of my new favorite things - playing the We're Not Really Strangers game. I first did this a few episodes back, and since then, I've discovered, ordered, and received their Anxiety expansion pack. So, of course... I'm back again with another installment of playing this game - this time featuring my new cards all about ANXIETY.

We're getting into a little life update about my new roommate and then deep-diving into anxiety, challenging anxious thoughts, reclaiming control and shifting focus, and some reflection prompts and reminders you probably need to hear.

22 | Happy Tuesday, everyone! This week, we're diving into one of the topics I get asked about the most - making & maintaining friendships in your 20s/adulthood. I'm talking through why I feel like adult friendships can be more difficult, HOW to make friends in your 20s & how to maintain them, and some other general thoughts and tips on friendship. 

I'm also recapping my Taylor Swift Eras Tour MetLife N3 experience sitting basically front row, sharing some upcoming life updates & changes, and taking you through my brief history with friendships throughout the years.

20 | Welcome to the second installment of Dear Diary - my cute name for a q&a/advice session that I'm doing every ten episodes :) This week, we have a lot of hard-hitting topics to get into: post-grad confusion, my faith/religious background & journey, OCD and how I cope, my relationship with food, advice for incoming college students, & more. 

If you want to be a part of the next Dear Diary episode, be sure to follow @digitaldiarypod on Instagram and look out for the question sticker on a future story! 

19 | I'm a little late, but HAPPY SPRING! One of my favorite parts of the spring season is spring CLEANING. This week, I wanted to take you through my biggest rules for keeping my (small) space organized. I always feel better when my space is clean and organized, so let this be the motivation you need to get up and do the same for yours.

18 | You've probably heard of We're Not Really Strangers - the card game that helps you to form deeper connections with people. This week, I'm playing this game ~alone~ as a way to self-reflect and also open up a bit more to you. We're talking past relationships, people and feelings I miss, happy moments, painful ones, and more. Prepare to get deep and maybe even do some self-reflection of your own.
