E318- Kim Costa: Living in Your Wheelhouse
Living in Your Wheelhouse explores what happens when you realize you’ve spent years on the right bus but sitting in the wrong seat. In this episode, Kim Costa shares her powerful journey from a 27-year misaligned career as an accountant to building a life rooted in authenticity, alignment, and intentional design. Kim began reshaping not just her career, but her philosophy on how our homes, and lives, should support who we truly are. We discuss fear as a silent saboteur, why so many people regret major home and life decisions, her 4M Foundation (Myself, Mastery, Mission, Mates), and her Wheelhouse Process for bringing clarity to emotional choices before making big moves!
