    From Getting Rich to Living Richly (Ep. 88)

    17/06/2026 | 45 mins.
    So often, we believe that if we could just make more money, hit a certain number, or achieve a particular level of success, then we’d finally feel secure, fulfilled, and at peace. But what happens when you get there? What happens when you’ve won the money game, and yet you’re still asking bigger questions about purpose, identity, freedom, relationships, and legacy?

    On this episode of Money is Emotional podcast, host Christine Luken is joined by Moa Diseborn, the founder of Studio Molodi, a private world for people who have achieved significant financial success and are exploring what comes next.

    She works with discreetly wealthy entrepreneurs, investors, and visionaries who want more than external success—they want a life that feels rich from the inside out. Her philosophy is simple: when money is no longer the main problem, the real work begins.

    Moa is known as “The Secret Millionaire’s Best Friend,” and on this episode we’re diving into the journey from getting rich to living richly.

    Christine and Moa discuss:

    The biggest surprises people discover when they arrive at the level of wealth they once dreamed about.

    The difference between getting rich and living richly.

    Why many wealthy individuals go out of their way to downplay their wealth?

    How someone’s identity evolves as they accumulate wealth?

    How wealthy people maintain authentic relationships while creating healthy boundaries around their time, energy and resources.

    About my guest

    H. R. Hutzel is a storyteller of soul-stirring fantasy.

    Her books are portals—infused with love, loss, magic, and memory.

    She is the author of Fable of Eylan, a fantasy series born from grief and shaped by wonder—written for those who believe magic is real… and love never dies.

    Her journey began with a bestselling debut novel and has since grown into a body of work that bridges soul and story.

    Her work is an invitation to transformation—a reminder that the stories we tell shape the lives we live… and that sometimes, losing yourself in a story is the truest path to finding your way home.

    When she’s not writing, you’ll find her walking with her golden retrievers, barefoot in the garden, or curled in a hammock with a book—losing herself in the pages, always listening for the next chapter in her own story.
