The Death of a Dream

Still testing this one but I know this experience feels so different from my last vacation. I know right you are supposed to be free on vacation what the heck Hanna...I was free but there was always this underlining fear that constantly stalked me.

because you are. every moment that passes is another moment you either were or were not working on you and the things you want in this world. I kinda lived with this image that the life I wanted was not a possibility. I didn't see anyone who looked like me out here doing this work so I just pushed past the possibility. you can do anything and you should be fighting for yourself like you are runnin...

Honestly, when I started this podcast I had no idea what I was doing. What I would say or even if I would do this for more then one day. I just wanted to do it because I knew I had more to say. I wanted to speak and write and no one would give me a microphone so I bought my own. I just couldn't settle any longer. EVERYTHING WAS FINE and that was the whole fucking problem.  I didn't want FINE...

This is where the story gets a little crazy. You can trust what you see and control the narrative accordingly. You will not be misled. 

alright I got to part two of this story and there will be a part 3 sorry not sorry but I want to be able to give you the full breadth of what happened. It took so many signs it obnoxious but here we are. You owe it to yourself to trust and believe in the things you want in your life. If you can see it you can be it. Sorry for the obnoxious quote but seriously. 

we are looking into the story of how i knew/was told it was time to leave my day job. in this two or three-part series we will discuss where i was, the signs i asked for and ways they were given to me and finally this realization that if i didn't take action here it would lead nowhere. i would be honored to read your death of a dream story send to: the death of a dream Attn: Hanna Nuss Po Box 543...

i am telling you. do it for your ten year older than you are right now self. is she looking back proud or is she looking back pissed because of the work she has to do now... you are never going to have the energy and vigor like you have today. go do now. find what it is experiment get curious and move forward with what you want to do. 

i know this all to well. especially as an enneagram seven I am very well known for being pumped about something, using all of my energy in pursuit and stopping before I even start. seriously. so how do you correct that because while it may seem like a weakness it is also a strength when contained and maintained. today we are talking good solid habits and movements for your life. no matter what you...

everything is fine is a phrase i overused in my past life. still using it today to escape weird conversations but I had this inner craving to be more than fine to be good. to be GREAT in fact. the audacity am I right? how dare her. especially in this society that has been built on this idea that grateful is more important than greatness.  i am not saying be ungrateful in fact, you should prac...

i remember about six months ago asking someone like how do you do that. how do you have friendships with depth outside of work? i didn't really know. most of my childhood friendships existed out of proximity and similarities but as an adult, I didn't have similarities with people except the ones who were workaholics like me and the reality is those are the worst friends to have because you will ne...

self-improvement gets this bad name. really it is so vital that I can't honestly even sit here and say that had i not started tapping into the know greats of this work I would never have gotten here. but you can't just read the books and get there. and it won't only take the one time. it takes working on yourself every day to show up as your best version. start listening to yourself. she knows wha...

SECURITY/SAFETY. this idea we all have that our lives are so secure and we would hate to give that up. what if security was the price we paid for showing up as our real selves. what is we had big ideas and thoughts but wanting to be accepted held us back from speaking to what we believe to be true. thus the way of the world but I want to start challenging these thoughts especially right now. if an...

i hate to tell you this because i up until yesterday struggled to believe it as well. you actually can do something you love every day and you damn well should. and no you don't have to be disgusting about marketing to do it. you can just tell your story. the great thing about that is it is authentic. come on. do you want to talk about the things you want to do or do you want to actually do them?...

you can do anything. i know you are likely rolling your eyes at me right now. but what are you willing to do now for yourself down the road? can you create the life you want with what you have now. are you even willing to explore it? because out of exploration we can discover what the heart truly wants. keep going. YOU GOT THIS!  i would be honored to read your death of a dream story send to:...

keep going and keep growing. take in the people meant to move you and let them. look at the world as they see it. you can and you should go all-in on your dreams. start showing up. start navigating what your dream might look like. then move. first and foremost we must stay in control of our limiting beliefs and then you really just have to go. you want to go faster do it every day. you want to dil...

seriously. well, in short, it is basically a daily recount of me recovering and acknowledging that my dreams died and a piece of my confidence and self died right along with them. but i wanted more. so i did this and discovered along with all of you what i wanted to do and what i wanted to be about. the death of a dream is a love letter for all of us. calling out more for our lives and making sure...

you are just sitting hoping someone will recognize all of your undiscovered talents by chance. because you would never start without first having the approval to do so. but what if we start challenging that. what if we do the things prior to the approval you just won't know. you won't know until you start. so START. TODAY. DO. IT. whatever it is have faith that this path is perfectly carved and it...

we are raised on this idea that perfection is the goal. it certainly can be but not without the commitment to get it wrong in the pursuit of that goal. we have to learn how to lose in order to fully under how to win. in fact staying top-level to avoid "failure" will only leave you wanting more out of whatever it is you are chasing. it won't be deep enough. keep going and keep growing. you are not...

give it away, give it away give it away now. the lyrics to this limp bizkit song essentially summed up my life. i was giving time away in exchange for...well I am still unsure of exactly what I was getting in return. in order to take back your time you have to know what you are wanting to give your time to.  i would be honored to read your death of a dream story send to: the death of a dream...

baelor. she is the fire of this earth. my second born child. she was like sent as a tiny remembrance of who I knew true to my soul I was supposed to be. the older she grows the more she calls my soul out like a siren. baelor is me in ways I had forgotten to show up. people can do that for you. they have this funny way of showing up in our lives to be that person. to be that memory and that moment...

this is imperative to growth in any way. i don't care what you are doing but in order to shift your thinking on anything. ANYTHING. you have to shift the way we are taught to talk and think about ourselves. i realize we are undoing a whole lot of wrong done to you but we can do this! human nature drives us to validate beliefs. if and when we validate beliefs we keep going until it is validated. so...

you matter in this world. in fact you are the most important part of the equation of how you show up. here is the deal. we are all sitting here looking at what is wrong with us. why we aren't enough. how we cant do something. yet some people do the thing. who have the same things wrong if not worse and still go do the thing? which means it isn't about what is wrong with you it is about flipping th...

YOU. putting yourself into the equation. i know you have softball and soccer and work and life and everyone in the entire world's schedule on your calendar but WHERE ARE YOU? do you even appear? and no I am not just talking about the spa day you got gifted on mother's day that you will probably never use. WHERE ARE YOU? we have to start showing up more on our own daily routines and the trickle-dow...

i want you to show up fully for this life. no more of this half self stuff where you are at the weekend BBQ with friends but not really there at all because you are thinking about the million long list of to-dos you have sitting at home. ya, have been there and beyond. i know right you are sitting here thinking of ya easy for you to say right...girl i get it. and yes easy for me to say but if you...
