Hannah Mayse: A Life with Something to Look Forward To
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Hannah Mayse is the kind of person who keeps joy on the calendar. In this episode, Matt and Hannah talk about why she needs something to look forward to, and how that “why not?” mindset has shaped the way she lives.
They hit the fun stuff, her two cats (Stormy and Luna), getting into golf during COVID after hating it as a kid, baking bagels and chocolate chip bread on a whim, and being the person who will try the thing instead of overthinking it. But the core of the episode is travel, tradition, and family. Hannah shares her big year ahead with her sister’s wedding, trips to Denver and Phoenix, and the ongoing father-daughter mission to visit every SEC stadium (with five left).
Hannah also opens up about coaching middle school volleyball at Southern Boone, including the hard parts: tryouts, cuts, lineup decisions, and learning confrontation as a first-year head coach. It’s a conversation about planned joy, staying open to new identities, and building a life where you keep saying yes.
