Too often, addiction is clouded by stigma, shame, and incomplete information. Misconceptions—like the belief that acknowledging powerlessness is weakness, or that labeling addiction is harmful—keep people stuck in cycles of pain and judgment.

In this episode, Hannah Mae breaks through the myths and explains why naming addiction and admitting powerlessness is not a limitation, but the very key that unlocks freedom and lasting recovery.

You’ll discover: 🌿 Addiction as a threefold illness — mind, body, and soul 🌿 Why “willpower” has nothing to do with recovery 🌿 The misunderstood role of naming and identifying addiction 🌿 How compassion heals both those in recovery and those harmed by addiction 🌿 Why spiritual solutions remain the foundation of true transformation

Whether you’re on your own recovery path, supporting someone you love, or seeking deeper understanding, this conversation offers clarity, compassion, and hope.

If this resonates, share it with someone who needs to hear it. Healing begins with awareness.

What if the stories you live inside... aren’t actually yours, let alone true?

In this episode, we dive deep into the subconscious structures—limiting beliefs, inherited narratives, and protective identities—that keep you looping in patterns of disconnection and self-doubt.

You’ll learn:

• How trauma births unconscious stories and emotional survival strategies
• Why these stories feel like “truth”—and how to gently dismantle them
• How the body and subconscious hold the map to your freedom
• Real-life examples of common limiting beliefs (like “I’m too much,” or “It’s hard,”)
• The role of crisis, breakdown, and disconnection as catalysts for reconnection
• Why hypnotherapy and soul-alignment work are so effective at dissolving these illusions and restoring clarity, creativity, and connection.

This isn’t about fixing what’s broken.

It’s about remembering who you are—beyond the walls, beyond the noise, beyond the lie.

If you’re ready to return to your own inner wisdom, this episode is your invitation.

In this soulful solo episode, We unpack the mystical meaning behind the “Dark Night of the Soul.” Far beyond the pop psychology trend or secular interpretation, this is a spiritual rite of passage—a sacred corridor of detachment, purification, and divine transformation.

Drawing from the original writings of St. John of the Cross and St. Teresa of Avila, Hannah invites you into the deeper purpose of spiritual suffering: not punishment, but preparation for divine union.

You’ll hear about:

• The difference between spiritual shadow and psychological discomfort
• Why the absence of light may actually be God drawing closest
• The two stages of the Dark Night: of the senses and of the spirit
• The power of trust, surrender, and mystic rebirth
• Why intellect and effort can’t carry you through—but presence can
• The connection between attachments, avoidance, and awakening

This is an episode for the seekers. For those who can’t go back to how things were. For those who feel the tug of something deeper but can’t quite name it.

You’ll leave with reverence for your own inner process and the invitation to soften, trust, and allow the transformation to unfold.

✨ Reflection Prompt: What if the darkness you’re facing is not failure—but an invitation? What if God is not far—but closer than your breath, obscuring the sun with His shadow?
