A New Way of Living with Hannah S. Haller 🌻 Ep. 18

April 26, 2025·44 min·2 clips

Hannah Haller says her generation cannot afford housing, and that makes co-living a practical necessity.

Caitlin begins softly. She welcomes Hannah Haller as a divine feminine presence, a yogini, world traveler, mystic, spirit woman, and someone connected to a farmland homestead that has been taking shape over the past year, maybe longer. Hannah meets that welcome with warmth, and the conversation settles into something loose and relational rather than a standard interview. The practical details keep turning into bigger questions. Land, partnership, money, care, and future responsibility all sit together here. Hannah talks about the weight of choosing someone whose energy might be part of everyday life for years, maybe for the rest of one's life. That feels heavy to her, and she does not rush past it. From there, she starts pulling at the narrow picture many people inherit around family, housing, money, parenting, and partnership. She names platonic co-parenting, ethical non monogamy, partnership without living together, separate houses, two moms, two dads, aunties, uncles, and community support. These are not framed as edgy alternatives. They come across more like options people should be able to see before they build a life by default. Hannah keeps circling back to exhaustion. Mothers can feel isolated. Fathers can be stretched thin. People pay for more than they can afford. Women without children or partners may feel caught between longing and a lack of visible paths. So she imagines more paths: adoption, a sperm donor, a long relationship without shared financial assets, someone living nearby on the land, or time spent abroad quarterly or biannually with a partner there. Caitlin mostly gives Hannah room. The transcript holds onto the searching quality of Hannah's thoughts as they move through home, money, child rearing, and energetic integrity. The ending returns to gratitude, with appreciation, excitement, and the sweetness of two people glad the conversation happened.
