By far one of my favorites, it’s been such a joy to watch your writing style develop over these past for months and watch you peel back the layers I think so many of us are hiding.
This is so beautifully and vulnerably written. Success defined by our culture doesn't always equate to happiness. External happiness just keeps you in a vicious cycle of more, more, more. You finally said, enough of this madness, I want to simplify my life. You are more your true self than you have been in years Hannah. The cycle of MORE MORE MORE brings temporary highs but you are still wanting more after the newness of the bag, shoes, etc... has worn off. It takes courage to really look inside yourself and let your soul, not your ego take the lead. I am proud of you. When you are following your soul, your ego loves to creep in and make you feel fearful, but deep inside, that still, small voice knows what is your deepest truth. Listen to it and follow it. living your truth sets you free. We all know what we need to do. Continue to follow this "soul voice". It is leading you in the right direction. Life is about getting up one more time than you fall down. And we all fall !! I certainly have ......
Continue to be your happy go lucky self. The Hannah that is bright and curious and would never sell her soul because she is too smart and capable ! I love you and I AM your sister in Christ. Truly. WE are all in this together and when you hurt, I hurt too. That is the light that connects us all and why we can have empathy.
Keep up the good work and showing the world what peace is really about. It's not shallow pleasures of life, it is following that still small voice that loves you more than you can even imagine.
I love you Hannah Dale Thompson and I am proud to be your friend and grateful our paths are crossing .
This was so beautiful and was really meaningful for me to read. I’m 35 and my life is not what I thought it would be when I was 30…. but it’s also so much better in lots of ways. ❤️
Sarah’s words are almost my same thoughts after reading your Substack today.
Genuine personal expression is everything. While direction may change you will always be on course by following your own truth. An authentic life is an amazing, if imperfect, adventure. I so admire your courage.
My sister in christ! I hope you know how thankful I am for you as well. While they look very dumb Anti Motion Sickness Glasses might be helpful. Can’t wait to see the sailing adventures unfold!
ah you were so close! I was with my family just outside of Beaufort for this holiday. I hope you're making memories and I hope you can feel our love and support no matter where you are! <3

I totally feel you on the swimming and then diving 😂😂🫣
Also sailing around the world sounds way better than Michelin star food that’s serves smaller portions than what I serve my cat
I am HONORED to be your sister in Christ, Hannah! Thank you for the privilege of reading your words and absorbing your collected bits of wisdom. xo

Wow- this was such a gift this holiday. Your vulnerability is both moving and grounding, thank you
