26 | Just realized I'm posting an episode about independence on Independence Day (lol), BUT - this week, we're diving deeper into the art & power of DOING THINGS ALONE. I consider myself very independent and do (and enjoy doing) a lot of things alone. However, like most things in life, it didn't happen overnight. 



This episode is for anyone who is curious to start doing things alone & become more independent but is nervous about it at the same time. I got you.

How to start doing things alone

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.

What's IN and what's OUT in 2024

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. 

2023 Reading Recap

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. :)

Extreme Christmastime nostalgia

43 | HELLO FRIENDS. I've missed you, but I'm back! This week, I felt we desperately needed a catch-up moment so here we are. I'm recapping the last two weeks of my life & where I've been, telling you about my surprise second LONDON TRIP with my bestie, and other general life updates/plans for the remainder of 2023.



Cockroaches, London, Iron Flame... oh my.
