Tell us, Hotties, have you ever deliberated over where to live? Perhaps you questioned if moving out of your comfort zone is an option, moving away from or closer to family? Have you settled for living where your significant other wants to be based, but perhaps your hearts not in it?

Well, in this episode we delve into all the in's and out's and feelings associated with buying, selling and finding your home.

We discuss:

• Hannah's feelings whilst we record for the last time in her Port Melbourne home
• what is it about a house that makes it feel like a home
• do we always remember things with rose tinted glasses?
• how to decide on a suburb when you and your partner have come from differing areas
• the burnout associated with big decisions, and in this case, moving house

Overall, it's a cathartic chat reminisicing about Han's learnings, her future hopes and dreams for a home and space and how far she's come.

We move into a home being one person. With time, space and energy that passes between living in this home and moving it is always a journey. It's normal to change, evolve and to want more.
