In this mind-expanding episode of INHABIT, host Alessia Citro sits down with money coach Hannah Bier for a powerful conversation about recreating our relationship with money from the inside out. 

Hannah shares groundbreaking insights about how our early experiences with love directly mirror our current relationship with money, and why true abundance requires healing emotional blocks rather than just chasing higher numbers. Through fascinating concepts like "soul money numbers" and the wisdom of honeybees, Hannah challenges conventional thinking about wealth while offering practical tools for shifting from scarcity to overflow. 

Whether you're struggling with receiving, caught in the "more, more, more" mindset, or simply ready to transform your financial reality, this conversation offers both profound wisdom and actionable steps for creating wealth without sacrificing well-being.
