The With Intention Podcast

Hello and welcome back to The With Intention Podcast! I am your host, Hannah Folau, and I am so thankful you chose to listen to this episode and support this podcast.

It is T-1 month until my frontal lobe develops, at least I am hoping it does. Mentally I am feeling like my iPhone (brain) is going through a software update, I can't use my phone momentarily, and I have no idea what new features this update includes and whether I will even like them.

It is the prequel to my quarter life crisis! Things are starting to "click" yet some things in my life seem more murky than ever. I feel constantly overwhelmed with choices and decision-making, but also believe this is a major privilege + a beautiful thing. I hope you enjoy today's episode. Subscribe and follow on Spotify and Apple Podcasts. And follow on IG: @withintentionpod and TT: @hannahfolau

Peace and love!

Welcome back or to The With Intention Podcast! I am your host, Hannah Folau, and from the bottom of my heart thank you for clicking on today's episode. Todays episode is definitely a vulnerable one and required me to swallow my pride.

Truth is, I have been applying to jobs since May. Tomorrow is the first of December.

But, I know that I am not alone in navigating the tumultuous job market + an industry that has been shattered by the current administration. Today is not about providing answers or advice, rather the goal of this episode is to remind those in similar situations that they are not alone. I also hope this episode is helpful for friends and family who aim to support their unemployed loved ones. Employment and finances are rarely discussed in private, but definitely not in public. I want to change that. I hope this helps even just 1 person. Peace and love to each of you this holiday season.

Hello and welcome to/back the With Intention Podcast!! I am your host, Hannah Folau, and I am so glad you have chosen to listen to this episode. In today's episode I give a long over do life update. I returned to the US from 3+ months in Tanzania in September and then gave a Tedx Talk at Clemson University. So much to share with you! Please share this episode with a friend, as I am always looking to build our With Intention community. I hope you feel like we are on Facetime during this episode.

Peace and love,

Hannah

In today's episode I am joined by my hilariously talented friend and former Georgetown lacrosse teammate, Lauren Lisauskas. To many she is known as Lauren. But, to the Georgetown Women's and Men's Lacrosse teams, she is Sauce.

In this episode Lauren shares her experience in deciding to write a book, what that process looks like, how one goes about getting published, and how to market your product without comprising yourself. The name of this episode was inspired by an off the record conversation we had about how to navigate marketing yourself and your brand in a world where social media feels like the only way, but a way that feels difficult to break into and to stay genuine in. We laugh, we cry, and we get deep. I am so proud of Lauren and the way she "loves emotional shit". After all, isn't that what this is all about? After listening to today's episode make sure to follow Lauren's blog here. Peace and love to you lovely humans!

Hello and welcome back to The With Intention Podcast. In today's episode I am joined by fellow podcasters Marlee and Crissy! They are co-hosts of the Out of Office Podcast, a place for raw and unfiltered conversations (that you probably wouldn't have in an office). They are truly two badass women with high aspirations. We talk about being a creative, being your own boss, the numbers game that is social media, how the algorithm has made us less creative, and ways to avoid burnout. I really enjoyed how genuine and authentic this conversation was. I truly feel like I can run through a brick wall after talking with them. After you listen to this episode, go check out the Out of Office Podcast here and their photography business, Total Capture Photography!

Peace and love!!

Hello and welcome back to The With Intention Podcast! Today I am joined by two brilliant minds and dear friends, Kendall Bryant and Kate Barranco. These two have just published a profound article titled media literacy and the future of youth online . In today's episode we discuss media literacy, digital citizenship, artificial intimacy, and the healing and harming of social media. I am honored to be in conversation with such brilliant minds asking the questions and seeking answers to complex ideas that do not a one size fits all answer.

Enjoy today's episode and check out their published article ⁠here⁠ !!

Peace and love!!

Welcome back to The With Intention Podcast! In today's episode I am joined by a dear friend and fellow yogi, Sagari Rao. Sagari and I immediately clicked when we met. Her passion for intellectual discussions is what drew me in and is what I think will draw you into today's episode.

Sagari discusses how she found human design and how conscious manifestation has helped her to realize she has all the tools within her to call in what she wants. Human design is concerned with the idea of understanding our energy and personality to live the life want. If you are interested in spirituality, philosophy, self-help adjacent topics, then this episode is right for you! Sagari is so well spoken about how she works in tandem with her energy to manifest and exposes the manifestation myths for what they are. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did. Please see the resources below if you are interested in learning more about the ideas and terms we discussed in today's episode. I highly recommend getting your human design chart!

Welcome back/to The With Intention Podcast! Today I have a special collaboration for you with my dear mentor and friend, Carley Kendall. Carley recently launched her brand, Subtle Rebel, so consider this our first of many Subtle Rebel x The With Intention Podcast collabs. 

Subtle Rebel is a brand that allows two things to be true at the same time. You can be a leader, but be quiet. You can be kind, but stand up for yourself. You can be strong, but you can be vulnerable. In a world where everyone is trying to put us in a box and make us choose between two options, Subtle Rebel provides a space for us to acknowledge there are more than two options. In this episode, Carley shares her creative roots and how this brand came to be. This brand is built on the insecurities and insults from characters in Carley’s life. And I think that is what makes Subtle Rebel so special. Carley took inspiration from times people put her down and tried to put her in a box to make themselves feel more comfortable. Please go celebrate and check out Carley’s art @ The Subtle Rebel Shop . Thank you for listening to today’s episode and make sure you subscribe so you don’t miss an episode! Peace and love! 

You have ChatGPT to thank for this podcast episode title LOL. Anywayssss... welcome to or welcome back to The With Intention Podcast! I am your host Hannah Folau, and by the title you have probably gathered that I have had quite a few life changes over the past few months.

I had to ask ChatGPT for help with this title because so much and such variety is discussed in this solo episode. I share how everything went downhill starting January 20th (no irony intended). I had to breakup with my therapist, was put on administrative leave because of the administration, then I was broken up with, I collected several odd jobs, got a tattoo, became a yoga teacher, oh and I moved to Tanzania. 2025 has been pure manic chaos, but I know this is all serving me and what is meant for me will find me.

While I hope none of you have endured what I have in the past few months, I do hope that you resonate or take something away from this episode. While editing, I reflected how proud I am of this version of myself. While this episode was recorded on April 4th and since then I have quit my job and moved to Tanzania for the summer, I commend this version of myself for being vulnerable and getting through difficult times. I am so proud of her and just want to give her a big hug and say thank you. I love you all and this community so much. Enjoy XOXO

Peace and love as always,

Hannah

After too long of a hiatus *but necessary for professional and personal reasons* I am back! In today's episode I am joined by one of my former professors and current mentors, Dr. Shabab Wahid. Dr. Wahid is a mental health specialist and is currently an assistant professor in the School of Health at Georgetown University. His areas of focus are: "(1) the connection between climate change and mental health; (2) the influence of culture on the lived experience of mental illness; and (3) development, cultural adaptation, and evaluation of community-based interventions targeting mental illness and reducing mental health stigma and discrimination." It is safe to say Dr. Wahid is more than qualified to be discussing mental health at the global level. With features in The Lancet Planetary Health, Times Magazine, and BBC World Service Radio, Dr. Wahid's research and discoveries have great impact on the prioritization of mental health in not just the healthcare space, but nearly every facet of life. I highly encourage you to read his published work which can be found below. https://gufaculty360.georgetown.edu/s/contact/0031Q00002SEFlWQAX/shabab-wahid

Thank you Dr. Wahid for joining me in today's discussion!
