  • The Health Spoke — How Your Home Is Shaping Your Well-Being | S1, Ep. 8
    Jan 7 2026

    What if your lack of energy, poor sleep, or stalled wellness goals aren’t about willpower at all—but about your environment?

    In this episode of Live in Your Wheel House, Kim Costa dives deep into the Health spoke of the Wheel House Assessment and reveals how your home quietly shapes your physical, mental, emotional, and even creative well-being—every single day.

    From food access and fitness to sleep, safety, mental health, and stress, Kim breaks down how both your home and your neighborhood can either support healthy habits or make them nearly impossible.

    You’ll hear a powerful real-life transformation story of a woman who didn’t need to move—she just needed to make intentional changes to her space. With a few strategic updates, her home went from draining her energy to restoring it.

    Kim also welcomes two icons into the Wheel House Hall of Fame:

    • Michael Phelps, who designed his home to support peak physical performance and mental health recovery
    • Lady Gaga, who created a home sanctuary that supports chronic pain management, creativity, and emotional well-being

    Their stories highlight a powerful truth: health isn’t just about your body—it’s about your environment.

    Kim also gives a sneak peek into the research behind Live in Your Wheel House, covering topics like:

  • Home Is Where Healing Starts | S1, Ep 7
    Dec 31 2025

    What if having a home wasn't just about comfort—but about survival? In this powerful episode, Kim explores how stable housing becomes the foundation for healing and transformation. Through the stories of Jessica, a single mom who rebuilt her life after domestic violence, and James, a Marine veteran who found peace after combat trauma, we see how programs that prioritize housing first create space for real recovery.

    Kim shares insights on the "survival shuffle" that keeps people trapped without stable housing and highlights three incredible organizations doing this work: Thistle Farms in Nashville, Zion Keepers, and Emmanuel's Village in Marietta, Georgia. This episode's Wheel House Hall of Fame honors the entire community recovery housing movement—the program directors, counselors, volunteers, and donors who understand that a home is more than a building; it's where transformation begins.

    A portion of book profits from Live in Your Wheel House supports these housing programs, so every purchase helps someone begin their healing journey.

  • From Foundation to Attic: The Complete Wheel House Method | S1, Ep 6
    Dec 27 2025

    Are you making real estate decisions based on only two or three factors—like affordability and commute—while ignoring how your home affects the rest of your life? In this episode, Kim Costa introduces The Wheel House Method. This comprehensive framework helps you align your home with all eight key areas of your life: Career, Finance, Health, Friends and Family, Spirituality, Environment, Fun and Leisure, and Romance.

    Discover the Four Ms—Myself, Mastery, Mission, and Mate(s)—that form the foundation of every smart home decision, and learn why self-actualization sits at the top like the attic of a well-built house. Kim shares her personal story from Clarity Farm, explores Maya Angelou's intentional approach to finding home in Winston-Salem, and offers a practical challenge to help you assess whether your current home is supporting your whole life—or just parts of it.

    What You'll Learn:

    • The eight Life Spokes that your home should support
    • How the Four Ms create a foundation for intentional living
    • Why Maya Angelou refused to downsize (and what it teaches us about self-worth)
    • A simple visual exercise to assess your current home's alignment
    • How The Wheel House Method helps whether you're staying, going, or renovating
