92: Giving Yourself Permission to Do Less (+ Big Announcements!)

Hannah is back with a big announcement, a full rebrand, and an honest conversation about what it actually looks like to simplify your business without guilt. In this episode, Hannah shares why she's transitioning Big Fucking Dreams to Hannah Hotline, scaling back from weekly to fortnightly episodes, stepping back from Instagram and TikTok, and going all-in on LinkedIn and YouTube. Plus — the 40% business growth she achieved working just 30–35 hours a week, and the universe confirmation that arrived 20 minutes after she made her scariest business decision yet. If you've ever felt like doing less means failing, this one's for you.   📩 Want a topic covered on Hannah Hotline?
