From Palm Trees to Falling Leaves: Navigating Holiday Loneliness

In this heartfelt episode of The Sound Within, host Hannah Rose opens up about the life changes that brought her from the endless summers of Florida to the shifting seasons of North Carolina. What seemed like a fresh start — a new job, a new home, and a new life with her partner — also carried an unexpected cost: the loneliness of being far from family, traditions, and the comforting rituals of the holidays.
With raw honesty and deeply personal storytelling, Hannah explores the emotional landscape of seasonal depression, recovery, and self-care during one of the most difficult times of the year. She shares the contrast between sunshine and falling leaves, joyful family gatherings and quiet solitude, while reflecting on the physical and emotional toll the holidays can bring.
Listeners will resonate with her candid reflections on mental health, grief, change, and resilience, as well as her gentle reminders that it’s okay to feel the weight of the season and to give ourselves compassion. From childhood memories to the challenges of adulthood transitions, Hannah’s voice is both vulnerable and healing — a companion for anyone struggling with holiday expectations, family distance, or the heaviness of depression.
This episode is more than a story; it’s a call to radical gentleness, mindfulness, and emotional awareness. Hannah invites you to notice the body’s rhythms, honor seasonal energy shifts, and allow yourself permission to grieve, rest, and find peace within.
✨ If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, isolated, or unseen during the holidays, this episode will remind you that you’re not alone. The Sound Within is here to help you breathe, reflect, and reconnect with compassion.

Reclaiming Strength: When Softness Meets Power AUDIO VERSION

The recorder clicks on, the host laughs—and something’s off. What starts as a tech glitch becomes a metaphor for everything that follows. In this raw and revealing episode of Eye-Opener Society, the hosts dive into what happens when your voice—literally and spiritually—is taken from you, and how reclaiming it becomes an act of power.
From a shocking 44-page lease that tried to erase basic human rights to a vow of spiritual renewal, this episode blends humor, honesty, and deep emotional truth. The conversation begins with a shout-out to Appalachian Rootworks and a teaser for the upcoming Kentucky trip, but it quickly unfolds into something much bigger: the journey of finding your authentic strength without losing your softness.
Co-host Lizzie explores the spiritual pendulum—how we swing between being too gentle and too guarded, too soft or too fierce. Together, they uncover the quiet wisdom between those extremes: the harmony of soft strength.
Then comes the heart of the discussion—accountability and daily spiritual practice. Meditation, energy work, and healing mean nothing unless they become part of your everyday rhythm. Through vivid storytelling, the hosts draw a striking parallel: the massage patient who skips their stretches and wonders why the pain returns. Healing, they insist, is not a one-hour escape—it’s a daily commitment to rewriting your story.
In this eye-opening exchange, the hosts tackle energy boundaries, teacher-student relationships, and the importance of doing the work. They challenge both teachers and seekers to stay grounded, to hold each other accountable, and to honor time and energy as sacred investments.
Lizzie opens up about the challenges of translating spiritual depth into writing—choosing authenticity over polish, and offering readers the exact message she once needed herself. It’s honest, unfiltered, and deeply human.
By the end, the episode doesn’t feel like a lecture—it feels like a midnight talk with a trusted friend. You’ll walk away both moved and motivated: ready to stop circling old wounds and start doing the work that transforms your life.
If you’ve ever wondered where strength meets softness, or how to turn your healing journey into real change—this is your invitation to begin.

🌿 Hannah Rose: From Addiction to Recovery | Motherhood, Healing, and Transformation

In this deeply personal episode, Hannah Rose shares her raw and unfiltered journey of motherhood, addiction, recovery, and healing. At just sixteen, she made the life-changing decision to keep and raise her daughter, guided by fierce love and intuition. But as addiction took hold, Hannah faced the painful choice of stepping back, allowing her parents to care for her child so both could survive.
With honesty and vulnerability, Hannah recounts her early years as a devoted mother, her descent into heavy use, and the difficult path of rebuilding trust, repairing relationships, and rediscovering her worth. Now, five years clean and sober as of August 27, 2025, she reflects on her evolving bond with her daughter, her stepdaughter, and the family she is slowly stitching back together.
Listeners will hear how Hannah’s practices — sound healing, intentional breathing, grounding rituals, and mindful parenting — have helped her navigate shame, grief, and the challenge of showing up as both a parent and a whole person. She reminds us that healing is not about perfection but about presence, persistence, and imperfect courage.
This episode is for anyone touched by addiction, recovery, parenting struggles, trauma, or generational cycles, and for those seeking hope in the midst of hardship. Hannah’s story doesn’t promise tidy endings, but it offers something even more powerful: real transformation, resilience, and the reminder that love — no matter how complicated — endures.

AUDIO:Uncovered: How Body Shame Hijacks Connection — A Candid Roundtable

What happens when a simple podcast setup turns into a cultural deep dive? In this raw and unfiltered episode of the Eye-Opener Society Podcast, hosts Lizzie, Hannah Rose, and Gary unravel the hidden ways society has programmed us to sexualize, shame, and silence the human body.
It begins in a parking lot — a failed livestream forces the recording into a car, but the disruption sets the stage for a bigger conversation. From TikTok videos flooded with lewd comments to age-restricted content that was nothing more than playful joy, the hosts expose how social media has become a mirror for society’s deepest wounds.
Lizzie opens up about being unfairly sexualized, Hannah shares how her breathwork practices are misinterpreted, and Gary reflects on experiences at a nudist resort where bodies were simply human again. Together, they confront cultural double standards — why a topless man is normal while a breastfeeding mother is shamed — and trace the “mother wound,” loneliness, and ignorance that fuel these toxic reactions.
This roundtable-style discussion balances honesty and tenderness, covering:
The hidden sexualization of women on social media
How shame fractures intimacy and identity
The double standards of nudity, body hair, and motherhood
Personal stories of reclaiming body acceptance
Practices of healing: breath as sacred energy, mirror work, and self-compassion
By the end, what started as frustration becomes a powerful invitation: to laugh off trolls, challenge double standards, reclaim our language, and practice fierce body acceptance.
This is not just a conversation — it’s a wake-up call about how we view ourselves and others in the digital age.
