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
