After losing my home, my finances, my career, and pieces of myself, I'm documenting an 80-day journey to rebuild—not just a business, but a life worth coming home to.

Three years after a devastating ripple effect of divorce, financial loss, job loss, and housing instability, I found myself asking a difficult question:

What if I stopped trying to figure everything out and simply documented the rebuild?

In this deeply personal episode, I'm introducing Project Homeward Bound—an 80-day journey to intentionally rebuild my life, one day at a time. My goal isn't just to move into a home of my own by the end of summer. It's to rediscover consistency, purpose, identity, and hope after years of surviving.

I share:

• How Project Homeward Bound was born
• Why "starting over" feels different in midlife
• The hidden emotional cost of losing a home
• The surprising reason a nightstand has become one of my biggest goals
• Why documenting the journey may be the thing that finally changes everything
• How building a business through life's messes remains the heart of the Messie Missy mission

If you've ever felt like you're rebuilding from ashes, living in the messy middle, or trying to find your way back to yourself after loss, this episode is for you.

This is Day 7 of Project Homeward Bound.

Come walk the next 73 days with me.
