  • 182: What a Snow Day Taught Me About Being Here Now
    Feb 1 2026

    Last weekend we got a bit of snow. It wasn't the big storm we were expecting and I found myself waiting for more... until I had a small but profound moment. I realized the power of gratitude and being here now. I hope this inspires you to also look for the gratitude where you are in this moment. Enjoy!

  • 181: Let Your Home Become a Springboard for Wellness with Kim Costa
    Jan 25 2026

    In this episode I am joined by Kim Costa, creator of Live in Your Wheel House, to explore the powerful connection between our living environments and our overall well being.

    Kim shares her personal story of living in a home that looked perfect on the outside but was deeply misaligned with who she truly was, and how that experience became a turning point in her life and work.

    You will also hear practical reflections on clutter, life transitions, seasons of change, and how your home can become a place that supports who you are becoming rather than who you used to be.

    If you are feeling out of alignment, navigating a transition, or craving a home that feels more supportive and nourishing, this episode is for you! Enjoy!

    About Kim

    Kim is a realtor, interior decorator, and author whose work sits at the intersection of home, wellness, and intentional living. With years of experience helping people buy, design, and truly settle into their homes, she has come to see the home as more than a physical space. She believes it is a powerful foundation for personal well being.

    Through her work, Kim invites people to think differently about how their homes support their lives. She teaches that the way we live, decorate, and gather has a direct impact on how we feel, relate, and grow. Her approach blends practical expertise with a deeper philosophy of care, presence, and purpose.

    As the creator of the four Ms framework, Myself, Mastery, Mission, and Mates, Kim encourages a holistic view of wellness that honors the self, meaningful growth, a sense of purpose, and connection with others. Her writing and work consistently return to the idea that when our homes are aligned with who we are, they become springboards for healthier, more connected lives.

  • 178: One Thing Is Enough: A Gentler Way to Start the New Year
    Jan 4 2026

    As we step into a new year, there is often so much pressure to change everything at once. New habits, new routines, a whole new version of ourselves. In this episode, I’m sharing a gentler approach.

    A few months ago, I challenged myself to overhaul my life with fifteen habits over ninety days. I succeeded for a while, and then I burned out. That experience taught me something important. Growth does not have to be all or nothing.

    What if this year you chose just one thing?

    In this episode, we talk about the power of focusing on one habit at a time, building consistency without pressure, and letting growth unfold naturally. I also share simple and meaningful ways to set intentions for the new year, including choosing a word, creating a vision board, writing a mission statement, and honoring winter as a season of rest and planting seeds.

    If you are craving a slower, more sustainable way to move into the new year, this episode is for you.

    Chapters-

    Intro + New Year Reflection

    The 90-Day Experiment and What I Learned

    Why I’m Choosing One Thing This Year

    Nine Fun Things to Try to Begin the Year

    Let Winter Be Winter + Closing Thoughts
