These conversations usually only happen in my head.
(…and specifically in the middle of the night, because that’s when I come upon every inspired thought I’ve ever had. for some reason.)
This podcast is my Digital Diary. In each episode, I will brain-dump, talk through, and share my perspective on a new topic relevant to my journey of navigating life in my 20s. And I’m Hannah, a 24-year-old just trying to figure out what any of us are *actually* supposed to be doing.
Spoiler alert: I don’t know how to crack this code, but then again… none of us do. So we might as well be in it together.
There will be a little bit of everything here – highs and lows, experiences and lessons, self-care and self-improvement, and everything in between.
Welcome to Digital Diary with Hannah Elise – hanging out every Tuesday.

2023 Reading Recap
Dec 20, 2023
Show notes
45 | LET'S TALK ABOUT BOOKS! As we near the end of the year, I thought it would be fun to review the books that I read in 2023. I've talked about some of them here and there, but reading has grown to be one of my favorite hobbies so I wanted to dedicate an entire episode to recapping & reviewing the 19 books I read this year (so far, at least). From psychological thriller, to rom-com, to FINALLY entering my fantasy era -- we covered a lot of ground this year and read some amazing books. Let's discuss.
Extreme Christmastime nostalgia

44 | HAPPY HOLIDAYS, friends! This week, I wanted to bring you a very nostalgic holiday-themed episode as someone who had the pleasure of growing up in the early 2000s and experiencing some of the best Christmas vibes of all time. From elementary school Santa Shops, to Christmas Eves at my grandparents', to waking up for presents at 4am, I'm recounting some of my favorite and fondest memories of Christmases past. I hope this episode conjures up some fond memories of your own, or just simply brings you joy. :)

Burnout

Show notes
39 | Unfortunately for us all, burnout is practically inevitable. Last week, I was hit with my latest period of burnout, and as I work through it, I wanted to talk about it with you. In this week's episode, I'm chatting through what burnout even *is*, what causes it, and what I've found to help "recover" from it (as much as possible).

IT'S FALL. (the coziest episode of the year)
Oct 10, 2023
Show notes
38 | It's the start of the best time of the year. I have ALWAYS loved fall, and thank God I have a podcast so I can talk to YOU about how much I love fall for 40 minutes. I've prepared a (non-comprehensive) list of reasons why I love fall, some of my fall favorites, traditions, etc. I'm so excited to share them with you this week. If fall is your favorite season, this episode is for you. Get cozy, light a candle, sip on a coffee, and let's discuss why fall is the best season of the year (and it's not close).
