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.
