Hannahlyze This by Hannah Hart

It’s a tale as old as time, and it’s true for almost every person on the planet: there are times when we’re just not feeling good about our bodies. But hopefully there are even more times when we are feeling great about them! This week, Hannah Hart talks with Dr. Hanne Blank about healing our relationships to our bodies and better understanding what forces shape our body image. Here’s to having a better time in our bodies and inventing a world where that’s easier for everyone to do.

Most of us are lucky enough to have our sense of smell intact in this post-Covid world, and we have our likes and dislikes when it comes to different scents. But maybe our interactions with scent can go deeper. In today's episode, Hannah Hart talks with Dr. Tracey Marks to learn more about her experience as a psychiatrist, as well as her expertise in the complementary field of aromatherapy. Come along to learn a bit about the way scent can affect our brains and how it plays a part in our mental health tool kit.

If you’re putting in the good work of your weekly therapy sessions and still hitting big bumps between them, maybe there’s room for a little more play in your life! Whether you’re working on being more present, building better relationships, boosting your mood, or another mental health goal, play exercises that snap you out of the routines that don’t serve you could be a good tool to have on hand. Today, Hannah Hart is joined by Dr. Clay Drinko, whose methods give us more insight into how opening ourselves to play can lower the stakes and bring us back down to earth. Let's play!

Firstly, we are 100% pro-science. Secondly, let’s have some fun. We’re examining seven pop psychology findings that were later debunked in more rigorous clinical trials. But how do we FEEL about each of them? And what can we learn about ourselves by examining those feelings? The Hannahs are on the case!

Have you ever taken a yoga class that ended with a singing bowl? Did it make you feel a certain kind of way? There’s a reason for that! In today’s episode, Hannah Hart and Dr. Mariel Buqué explore the ways sound medicine can be incorporated into your everyday life and/or your healing journey to help regulate your body’s responses to stress.

Step back, Stefon! This episode has it all: movies, TV, PRIDE, pirates, beautiful revelations of hopes and dreams, that thing where something falls off the wall and it sounds like a cymbal… Let us know if you agree with Hannah Gelb and it’s the best episode we’ve ever done. Happiness is a watch?

Alan Godshaw might be best described as a martial artist turned philosopher turned martial artist turned artist turned martial artist. Humble to a fault, his 38 years of training have earned him a Roku Dan Black Belt in Shotokan Karate and made him a world class sensei, but he’s currently more excited about his Blue Belt in Brazilian Jujitsu. Enjoy as he and Hannah Hart explore the upsides and downsides of martial arts—and the cultures that surround them.

Here comes the briiiide, all dressed in… WISE. Our most beloved recurring podcast guest is back in the mix this week. Ella Hart joins Hannah Hart for a good old fashioned self esteem review with side discussions of boundaries, family, and learning to fail. Feel the wisdom coursing through you as you power up into your best self!

It's getting ancient up in here. Turns out, people have been giving each other self-help advice forever. This week, the Hannahs are learning five tenets of stoicism to get to the bottom of the philosophy that has maintained humanity's attention for millennia. Let's find out if our preconceived notions about stoicism line up with the facts!

The Hannahs are grown! They are SENSUAL BEINGS and it’s high time you knew about all that. On this week’s mildly spicy episode, we dig into the truly baffling textual communications of horned up man-children and instances in which the therapist should definitely have known better.

It’s a beautiful day for a new tool. If you haven’t encountered the BEAR Cycle before, you'll be happy to learn that it applies to everyone! BEAR stands for Belief, Emotion, Action, Result. You can already see the cycle, I can feel it! Join the Hannahs for an explainer and a little self-love moment of affirmations to change those negative beliefs about ourselves that can cycle into unhelpful results. Let’s get Hannahlyzed!

Whether we opt out earlier or stay in the academic track for the long haul, all of us spend time in school. It’s a major source of stress, confusion, and negative self-image for many. This week, we’re reflecting on the relationship between mental health and school with one of the most schooled people we know! Please enjoy this episode with Dr. Samantha Davis as we air out some of those feelings about a lifetime of struggling through school.

We're reaching back in time to look at the self-help tools brought to us by The Greatest Generation! Zig Ziglar is a guy we've never heard of, but apparently he was a big name in self-help before our time. This week, we take a look at one of his worksheets, The Wheel of Life! Join us for this fun and frequently confusing visit to what feels like an alternate dimension. Wear your church clothes for more points!

The simulacrum of human behavior that is reality TV has us processing our feelings out loud again. "Love Is Blind" has taken over the Hannahlyze This! airwaves! Can we figure out exactly what's happening here? Is the viewer supposed to be experiencing pain or pleasure? We also discuss a few details from early episodes of Season 2, so be warned if you are trying to avoid spoilers. Let's get into it.

EEE EEE eeee EE E E E EEEE EEEE eeeee! AwooooOOOOOO000000oooooooo! Greetings from the Dolphin and the Wolf. This episode is all about Chronotypes. Let’s try to learn about our body’s natural temporal rhythms and find out why this is all the rage on morning TV programs. Maybe the real treasure will be the frenemies we make along the way.

Happy birthday to us! It’s our fourth anniversary, and we’re gunning for four more. Join us for a guessing game featuring snippets from our most popular episodes from the last four years, and let us know if you have a different favorite! Here’s to Season 5 of Hannahlyze This!

Are you like us? Has TV been responsible for some large portion of your emotional support system over the last two years? Don’t be afraid to say yes; they literally told us to change our socializing behaviors to avoid dying, so if you embraced TV like an old friend, you are in good company. This week, the Hannahs are AMPED to share their favorite media with you, all of which is relevant to their self-help endgame. Please enjoy discussions of The Witcher, Arcane, and Encanto, and let us know if you also stan Henry Cavill’s butt or any other parts of these fictional worlds!

**This episode does not contain any descriptions of violence, please note before watching Arcane that it features pervasive violence, some gore, violence to animals, and scenes of self harm that may be upsetting to some viewers.**

Have you been wondering where your friendly neighborhood Hannah Hart has been for the last few weeks? She’s been taking care of the world’s most beloved nekkid kitty cat: Lady! Today’s episode has all the (sometimes) gory details of Lady’s trips to the emergency room at the beginning of the month, the ongoing saga of her recovery, and the life lessons we’ve learned along the way. As Gelby says, thoughts and prayers for Lady!

Happy new year! Whether you’re a fan of resolutions or you think they’re pop culture hooey, there’s something for you in today’s episode. Hannah Gelb gets back in the resolution game after many years on the bench. Let’s talk about moving the needle of our lives, Earbuds!

As the year winds down, the young Hannahs' fancy turns to music. A podcast of such emotional weight should have a theme song to match! Join them for an occasionally chaotic and always creative exploration of sound, as they attempt to distill the essence of Hannahlyze This! We're all eagerly awaiting eventual foray into anime as well... It's only a matter of time, with theme song aspirations like this!

For the last two years, the holiday season has been unusual, to say the least. For many people in 2020, it was difficult because they weren’t able to see their families. For many people in 2021, it's difficult because they are expected to see their families. And of course, even in the most average of years, the holidays are a source of strife for more people than you would expect. So if they’re getting you down, take a listen to this episode that will encourage you to lie to protect yourself, spray people in the face, and embrace the sanctuary of the bathroom, among other mental health tips for this trying time.

If you’re an Earbud from way back or a more recent member of our little family, you are probably more than aware that Hannah Gelb’s relationship with her job is not a happy one. On today’s episode, our two Hannahs explore the latest (very exciting) news in that saga, and it is a major cause for celebration. We hope you find it inspiring if you’re also working on running toward your dreams!

Do you know your attachment style? Learning about attachment styles can help us contextualize the way we form and maintain relationships. In this episode, the Hannahs explore the spectrum of attachment and discuss their own attachment styles, getting very real in the process. Determining your own attachment style may open an unexpected can of worms, so proceed with caution if you decide to join us on this journey.

Is indulging in your love of Halloween your favorite form of self care? This is the episode for you! Join our two favorite Hannahs for some psychotropic investigations, Halloween revelations, and—as always—entertaining conversations! Thanks for bearing with us during the portions when Hannah Gelb’s microphone was possessed by a poltergeist who loves self help… or Fiona was on the scene. Seems like Jack (the King of Hell) was throwing some extra-spooky audio hauntings our way!

Insecurity: we’ve all been there. Emphasizing body acceptance while also making regular exercise an important goal for our physical and mental health: maybe we’ve all been there as well. On today’s episode, Hannah Hart gets into her own feelings about and strategies for relating to her body in a healthy way. Stick around for some chronic fatigue real talk and some horrifying US history that will get you back in the activism zone.

The Great Resignation is upon us! Are you one of the millions of Americans who recently quit your job because one or more factors just made continuing totally untenable? Whether you answer yes or no, there’s never been a more exciting time to get your financial affairs in order! Shout out to all the independent ladies who got their financial lives squared away when this was originally released, and shout out to all the new Earbuds who will joining that club now.

Keep an eye out for new episodes of Hannahlyze This! publishing on Sunday mornings.

Banish all antiquated notions you have about moolah and investing, earbuds! You, right now, in that sweet denim jacket with the sexy studs (you know the one) are already 100% ready to be a money making pro. Special guest Sallie Krawcheck (former Wall Street warrior, current CEO of Ellevest, and certified BAMF) sits down with Harto to walk through the obstacles that stop us regular folks (and women especially) from investing and money managing in general. Noting that women are conditioned to shy away from money matters, she emphasizes that empowering ourselves to invest and take charge of our fiscal futures is nothing less than premium, 100% organic, artisanal self-care.

A Gelb divided against itself can and will stand for a long time. Let's listen in! In a very special treat for the senses, in this solo episode, Hannah Gelb mounts a one woman radio play as a therapeutic exercise.

The Hannahs recently spent a lovely Saturday together, streaming on Twitch! Catch up with them as they discuss live performance, their internal narratives, and the benefits of Tetris. Get into the nitty gritty of the (sometimes) toxic ways we connect to ourselves and disconnect from others, contemplate your inner Real Housewife, and revisit the mantra "comparison is death." 

This week, Hannah Hart is gathering all of the curious, enthusiastic, dabbling dilettantes of the world to her chest for a loving embrace! We see you, dabblers. Keep it up and keep sharing that beautiful spark with others whenever you find it. And if you’re not predisposed to giving in to a potentially unproductive dabble, tune in to hear the benefits and you might reconsider!

Stuart Smalley, we did you dirty. Staring into the mirror while wearing a pastel cardigan isn’t key to the process, but affirmations are the real deal: our thoughts direct our brains, and our brains tell us how we feel. A single sentence of affirmation can trigger your reward centers and change your entire day. Join Hannah Hart for this journey through the world of affirmations. And if you need more convincing that it’s not hokey nonsense, take it from Harto herself: “I feel weird about it every time in the beginning and great about it at the end, so hang in there.”

It's the second installment of our musical history series! Feel the love as the moonlight carries you to the karaoke delights of the Before Times, and then back to the frequently disappointing Now Times.

Stay tuned for Part 3, when we will answer the question from the end of the episode and continue to impress you with our impromptu singing.

Please note this episode contains a discussion of Sia's choice to depict the use of restraint on a person with autism.

Were you promised a hot girl summer, but instead received your own personal hell masquerading as a hot girl summer? You are not alone! Air the grievance!

This week, the Hannahs look at the cumulative irks that are bringing them down and get some perspective. Whether it’s chatting about your tsunami of annoyances with a good friend, contemplating the role of acceptance/rejection of circumstance in your life, reminding yourself that you’re not broken, or all of the above, we hope something in this episode gives you a reason to shout, “Good things are happening!” If you can feel feelings, give yourself a hand. You're already ahead of the game.

Unfortunately, the possibility of a pandemic lockdown looms before us again! Let's revisit our original Covid-19 thoughts and feelings. Are we headed back to square one? What has changed and what has stayed the same? This episode was first published on March 19, 2020.

Dang, where'd this year go? Wasn't it JUST Halloween? Wasn't it just 2018? Heck, wasn't it just Y2K? Sigh. Well, instead of spiraling into an existential time-related torpor, let's celebrate another great year of podcastery! This here is a certified "Best of 2019" melting pot of Hannahlyze-y goodness. Get a little bit of everything on your plate. A dash of spicy, a little sweet, and a big helping of Hart.

Welcome to this week's episode, featuring both Hannahs! Come for the in-depth discussion of the instant classic, Frozen II, stay for the hypothetical life-swap conundrums.  Harto shares her journey into the Unknown, exploring both the ways she identifies with Elsa and her attraction for the animated blond. Gelb wonders what life would be like with less boob-age, less height, and more of that Harto hair.

The Hannah‘s are back! And thank god because there is lots of catching up to do and there are many important things to discuss such as spicy chicken disaster/successes, plot guesses about popular movie franchises, and there’s even a banjo ditty tucked in there somewhere. Enjoy!

Join us on our Magic-School Bus style journey into the swirling vortex of shame that has infected our precious and wonderful Hannah Gelb! Together, Gelby and Mrs. Fabs-rizzle take-on the great monsters of despair that have taken up residence inside our minds and help Gelby find her way across the sprawling wasteland of self-doubt to reach the sweet peaceful land of love.

Boo! Bang! Fizz! Scary sounds! This week Gelb conjures minor New York deities Amanda McLaughlin and Julia Schifini of Spirits Podcast. Forming a temporary coven, Gelb recites spine-tingling tales of earbud hauntings as Amanda and Julia assign each yarn a likely spirit culprit.

This week Harto is joined by very special guest Lance Bass - Yes!! THAT Lance Bass, who’s face most likely adorned your trapper-keeper in 1999! He’s up to all kinds of awesome stuff these days, and reflects on several hard-earned lessons from his early years as an international music sensation. Come for the nostalgia, stay for the heartfelt discussion on learning to trust others (and yourself!) after experiencing terrible betrayal.

This week, Gelb is joined by Heather Havrilesky - author, advice columnist, and wasteland warrior of the scrappy LA hills - to discuss the poisonous messages that our culture at large tries to tattoo onto the insides of our eyelids. You know the ones. You NEED: more money, a bigger house, a better mate, perfect hair, skin, and nails, genitals that smell like a rose garden, to lose/gain 10 lbs, to stop being sad, to look on the bright side, to really ENJOY cooking, to take up axe throwing, etc. Heather calls bullshit on the myth of constant self-improvement and and challenges us to accept ourselves as we are, in this very moment, inadequacies and all.

What's in YOUR conference room of the mind? More importantly, WHO? Who's calling the shots, passing out the agenda, and ordering the snacks? Are they getting the GOOD artisan cheese and crackers or those oily pastries that make your stomach hurt? Are they people you know intimately, or are your mind-meetings populated with strangers? This week, take a deep dive into the metaphorical mind with Fabs and Gelb as they discuss the myriad facets of the self. It's possible there are some ne'er-do-well impostors sashaying around and getting their grubby hands all over your decision-making apparatus. In any case, this conference is bananas and we may need to bring in upper management (hint: that's YOU).

Breathe it in, folks! Yes, that’s the sweet aroma of Pumpkin Spice being jammed up your nostrils with a chimney sweep’s brush. Just in time for October, Gelb and Fabs are here to answer your questions! We cannot stress this enough: crazy clowning does NOT equal vulnerability. Make sense? Other important topics raised: favorite Sailor Moon seasons, a Fiona Apple/Lin-Manuel Miranda musical mash-up, Gatsby vs. Gelb, and banjo codependency.

Break out those flute-y glasses, because this week’s guest is Pamela Ribon (writer of Moana, Ralph Breaks The Internet), who happens to be champagne in human form. Ting ting! Thats the sound of the podcast looking deep into your eyes and cheersing you whilst Ribon speaks in dulcet tones about writing as a coping mechanism, Fan-face ™, and of course, discovering dead bodies in your trunk.

Harto was banging around NYC this week, and took a break from dancing with lamp-posts to drop by Dan Harris’ studio and get into it - meditation, that is. Much was discussed: how to deal with that voice in your head that wants to convince you of your uncontrollable suckiness, listening to your body to prevent work-place projectile vomiting, and how meditating for even a paltry 5 minutes a day(ish) can lead to profound internal changes (and potentially prevent public panic attacks on live TV.)

Hart and Gelb are back in action! It may feel like it's been a lifetime since our Hannahs have sat down and hannah-lyzed each other, but the question is - which lifetime? Travel back in time with both Hannahs as they recount their experiences with hypnotherapy and explore questions like: what can we learn from our past selves? Why are holidays triggering for queer people? And, of course, the age-old (literally) question: was Hannah once a short Greek man?

On this episode of Hannahlyze This, Simone Giertz joins Harto to do a deep Hannahlysis their lives. They bond over fear of death, brain tumors, YouTube careers and the strangeness of being known for sh*tty robots and drunken cooking.

Banish all antiquated notions you have about moolah and investing, earbuds! You, right now, in that sweet denim jacket with the sexy studs (you know the one) are already 100% ready to be a money making pro. Special guest Sallie Krawcheck (former Wall Street warrior, current CEO of Ellevest, and certified BAMF) sits down with Harto to walk through the obstacles that stop us regular folks (and women especially) from investing and money managing in general. Noting that women are conditioned to shy away from money matters, she emphasizes that empowering ourselves to invest and take charge of our fiscal futures is nothing less than premium, 100% organic, artisanal self-care.

This week, on Hannahlyze This, Hannah Hart sits down with the one and only Ned Fulmer to chat about the tricky beast we call competition. When is competition helpful? Hurtful? Does it build relationships or damage them? Do you know people who cheat at card games?! Is Hannah competitive? Is Ned MORE competitive?? WHO IS THE WINNER OF THIS EPISODE?!? Spoiler, Earbuds: it's you.

What kind of creative are you? (Spoiler alert - you are creative! Everyone is!) Join the Hannahs as they pick the brain of the creative mind behind the Adobe Creative Types Test, Carolyn Gregoire, and learn about the unique forms of creativity that keep the world going round!

No, you did not accidentally start listening to a D&D podcast - the Enneagram is an interconnected map of nine personality types that can help us better understand ourselves and others. Ancient, mystical, complex - does it sound like the Hannahs are out of their depth? They are! Luckily they're joined by leading Enneagram authority Dr. Beatrice Chestnut, who explains how understanding the nine types can illuminate the path to self-awareness.

This week Harto is joined by special guest Elle Mills to talk about the thrills, chills, spills, and possibly rills (a rill is a small stream!) of rocketing to YouTube stardom at the tender age of 19. Although Harto and Mills are a YouTube generation apart, both can speak to the pressure of high expectations, coping with creative burnout, and the surprising loneliness that comes with being surrounded by people.

Remember that saying, smooth seas don't make a good sailor? Well, plug your nose and grab a lifejacket, because because this week's episode is a deep dive into the turbulent waters of heartbreak. Have no fear - Harto and special guest Thomas Sanders will guide you through a candid convo and onward to the sunny shores of healing and self-discovery!

Who's Gelb's fave Sailor Moon villain? Who is Harto's ultimate dream podcast guest? Just what the HECK are you supposed to do with your swathes of free time this summer? Find out the answers to these hard-hitting Earbud questions, (not to mention some real talk about bodies and boundaries), on this week's episode!

Have you ever felt the peaceful exhaustion, the bone-deep satisfaction of overcoming a great obstacle that you knew was yours and yours alone to tackle? Ascended a great mountain, knowing with perfect certainty that the person who reaches the top will not be the same person who began the climb below? Cool. Well, this perfectionism series didn't feel anything like that. However, that's never stopped a Hannah from dispensing with a few choice Hannahlyses.

Maybe Iris DeMent can let the mystery be, but we here at  The Midnight Society  HannahlyzeThis are full of questions about life, the universe, and everything. Luckily, we're joined this week by expert of all things folklore and mythology: the delightful Julia Schifini, 1/2 of the Spirits Podcast! Talking points include: Medusa, how to appease pesky household sprites (booze, obvi), and obsidian genitals. A must-listen, even by Hannah standards.

This week Harto is joined by very special guest Jack Conte! Who is Jack Conte you ask? Well, he's a musician, entrepreneur, and film maker. Oh - he's also the CEO of Patreon. And he has a beard. As such, he is very qualified to discuss creative business with Hannah! Pull up a chair and pull back the curtain on the nitty gritty of making money from your creative endeavors. Turns out it's not all rainbow lattes and ukulele solos. Luckily, Jack sheds some light on the communication techniques he uses to be the best leader he can be.

While Hannah Hart takes a break to finish up her next book (pre-order today!), Hannah G and Fabs (podcast producer) discuss their non-dating lifestyle and run around the 3 points of the intimacy triangle! What are those points? Cinnamon rolls, for one. Muppets, probably, and I think the last one is Jeff Buckley. I could be wrong. Either way, much about love, relationships, and intimacy is discussed so close your eyes and stick your hands into that triangle!

This week on Hannahlyze This, our incredible guest Mitchell Davis speaks with Harto about his journey with OCD and mental health. Many kitty treats of wisdom are dropped along the way.

Of all the things you hear about turning 30, what’s ACTUALLY true? Is life over? Are you in that place doing that thing you thought you’d be doing? Do you have an awesome fridge because you care a lot about appliances now? Listen in as Harto and special guest Tyler Oakley discuss life on the other side of 30.

Listener, are you prepared to enter the caves of truth? To ford the river of self-discovery? Gird your loins, because the Hannai can perceive your true nature, even if you cannot. You’re like, super into horses ok? Yup. Want to know more about yourself? Listen in as the Hannahs answer earbud questions!

In an attempt to lighten the mood, the Hannahs decide to focus on the perfectionistic tendencies of someone else for a change - their favorite GoT characters!  What is said may never die.

This week we go inside the brain with Kelsey Darragh! Kelsey not only processes her experiences with perfectionism, she shares her SPECT scan (which is the same scan Ariana Grande just had!) All this - PLUS - foot fetishes! FUN FUN FUN!

Winter is coming, and the Hannahs prepare to hunker down in the godswood of the self and await the army of the dead. Oh wait, that was last week's GoT recap! In this week's podcast episode, Gelb prays to the gods (the old and the new) for the strength to change her perfectionistic behavior, while Hart takes on some Three-Eyed-Raven qualities and encourages Gelb to accept agency in her life. At the same time, Hart acknowledges her own tendency to avoid difficult tasks. Ours is the kitty, hear us meow.

The Hannahs really tried to get out of this one - luckily their lovely producer stepped in and reassured them that they were up to the task. In an effort to lessen the power of perfectionistic thoughts (ie: WE CAN'T DO THIS), the Hannahs examine a myriad of unhelpful thinking styles that lead to perfectionistic behavior. What kind of behavior you ask? Maybe like, eating an entire box of Snyder's hard pretzels (just to make something up, Hannah Gelb would definitely never do this).

Join the Hannahs for this bonus episode where they chat with Hannah Marks (the youngest ever female studio director!) to talk movies, perfectionism & creativity.

'Alo, earbuds. If HannahlyzeThis was a french podcast would it be called 'AnnalyzeZis? In any case, grab a brush and begin painting your life in beautiful, broad, imperfect strokes, because today's episode is about how to start changing perfectionist tendencies in daily life.

What's in the meatloaf? That is to say, how is perfectionist behavior shaped? This week the Hannahs examine how their extreme tendencies have been formed, influenced or reinforced by internal and external influences. Can they break it all down into sub-atomic particles?
