Hello and welcome to the season 1 finale of The With Intention Podcast. Today I am flying solo as I reflect on 2024 and set my intentions for 2025. I recall some major highlights of this past year as well as things that didn't resonate or align with me. I go on to share my personal, social, and career/podcast intentions for 2025. In 2024 I felt more sure of myself and more of a sense of community than ever. I also felt the least anxious (major accomplishment). This podcast is my baby and this community feels like family. I have trouble putting into words the impact that this podcast has had on me this past year. All I know is that I plan on using the momentum from 2024 to enter 2025. I hope to NOURISH every aspect of my life this year and continue to grow and evolve as I refuse to stay stagnant in my growth. I am so excited for what is to come for you and I this year. I hope you enjoy this episode and please share if you reflect on 2024 and set your intentions for 2025!

Peace and love,

Hannah

Hello and welcome back to The With Intention Podcast! I am your host, Hannah Folau, and today I am joined by the brilliant Lauren Irwin for a challenging yet necessary conversation.

Lauren Irwin is a breaking news reporter for The Hill, a nonpartisan news outlet based in the nations capital. Lauren helps us all to reflect and understand the role of journalism during the 2024 presidential election and how it will be shaped by the incoming Trump administration. This episode includes a balance of journalistic insight as well as a reflection of the emotional toll this election took on many of us. Lauren provides contexts for how Americans receive their political news and gives tangible examples of how to turn anger into productivity. The anger, fear, disappointment is all valid, however, it is a waste if not put into action. It is on all of us to stay informed and to bring people with us.

Lauren, I want to thank you for your hard work in keeping our elected officials accountable. This episode is not meant to tell which party to align yourself with, if anything this episode isn't about politics because this election was not about politics, but rather morals.

As always peace and love,

Hannah

Hello and welcome back to The With Intention Podcast. I am truly humbled, floored, inspired, and overjoyed after my conversation with Cailin Bracken. For those who have not had the privilege of meeting her, Cailin is one of the most genuine souls you will come across in this world and has been a prominent voice in the mental health space. She is the host of Sunday Questions and author of A Letter to College Sports. She is intelligent, well articulated, and full of love. 

This is a huge deal for me because I came across Cailin’s page after reading A Letter to College Sports. Like I always say, what is meant for you will not miss you. And I was meant to read this letter at the time that I did (one of the lowest points of my mental health). I can confidently say that Cailin and her words are a significant reason why I am here today. Her words gave me the willpower to seek help and therapy. So having the opportunity to discuss post-grad, identity, mental health advocacy, lobbying and policy, and our podcasts and the directions we hope to see them go has genuinely filled my cup.

Cailin, thank you for continuing to show up and speak out about mental health. You’re a gift and I will cherish this friendship for the rest of my life. To know you is to love you. 

I hope you all enjoy this episode as much as I did recording it. 

Peace and love, 

Hannah 

Hello and welcome back to The With Intention Podcast! Today I am joined by a very special human being, Erin Drebushenko! Erin is a recent college graduate from Ursinus College and she is currently working for the Society for Neuroscience as well as The Hidden Opponent, "an accredited non-profit and advocacy group that raises awareness for student-athlete mental health and addresses the stigma within sports culture" started by Victoria Browne. Oh and did I mention that Erin is also working towards her master's degree at West Chester University?

In this episode Erin discusses how she got involved with The Hidden Opponent and how her role in the organization has evolved over the years. Erin sheds light on the fact that there are very few resources for coaches and professionals in the sports world and the realization of a similar trend in the work force. Erin is truly a genuine and intelligent soul and I am so excited for you guys to get to know her. She has already contributed in such a profound way to the mental health awareness cause and I know I am eager to continue to watch her break even more barriers and glass ceilings.

Peace and love,

Hannah

Lily is without a doubt one of the most authentic people I have been fortunate enough to cross paths with.

Hello and welcome back to The With Intention Podcast, I am SO happy that you are here and chose to listen.

This episode is long overdue, but finally the day has come where Paige Sim has graced us all with her presence. 

The greatest way to meet new friends is through your already vetted best friends and that is exactly how Paige and I met (shoutout Ruby and Lanni). 

I am in awe of Paige every single day and she pushes me to be the best version of myself. Paige is the definition of a friend who shows up and shows out. Today’s episode is a celebration of all the wisdom and authenticity that Paige holds. 

We talk MCAT, the joy of having choices, qualities we get from our parents, therapy, & so much more. Tune in and be prepared to have a huge friend crush on Paige Sim after this episode. 

Peace and love you, mean it (something Paige always says) <3

After a brief hiatus, welcome back to The With Intention Podcast!! 

Feeling incredibly grateful for the podcast to be graced with Helen Feldmeth’s presence in today’s episode! 

As a recent Georgetown alum in a new city halfway across the country from her home base for the past 4 years, Helen shares the highs and lows, joy and pain about starting over and welcoming a new chapter as uncomfortable they can be.

I strongly believe that everyone needs to hear this episode. This episode is an ode to anyone who has gone through big life shifts, is going through big life shifts or is anxiously awaiting big life shifts. 

Helen instills great wisdom on letting coping mechanisms evolve with us, routines settle in naturally, knowing when to take the hands off the wheel, and to overall give ourselves GRACE during periods of change and unknown. 

Change is terrifying while equally exciting!!!!!! Cheers to Helen and all of you going through life changes and handling it the best way you can!!

Helen, your voice is so profound and this community and I love and appreciate your vulnerability!! 

Peace and love, 

Hannah
