Today’s conversation is one I’ve been excited to bring you, because it speaks to something most of us don’t even think about… yet it shapes how we wake up, how we heal, how we dream, and how we grow. My guest, Kim Costa, has a rare blend of experience — realtor, construction and design expert, and longtime guide in personal development. She’s spent years watching how women’s lives change, and how their homes either rise to meet that new chapter… or quietly hold them back.
Her work began with a moment many of us can relate to. When she won an essay contest for the Oprah Show, she actually asked them not to film her house. That pause made her realize just how deeply our spaces reflect — or sometimes clash with — who we’re becoming. And that insight sparked everything she’s built since. Kim went on to create the Wheel House Assessment and the bestselling “Live in Your Wheelhouse” framework, helping people evaluate whether their home truly supports the four big pillars of growth: Myself, Mastery, Mission, and Mate, along with the eight areas of life where we all want to thrive — from health and spirituality to finances, romance, and environment.
Her message is simple but powerful: Every home transition is a chance to reset, realign, and redesign the life you want next. And Kim doesn’t just teach this — she’s lived it over and over again. From a starter bungalow to a country-club remodel… from building a full showcase horse farm from scratch to downsizing into a serene minimalist condo… each home reflected the lifestyle she was intentionally creating. That personal process became the heart of her Lifestyle Foundations® method, and it’s now helping thousands of people rethink the way they choose where and how they live.
Kim is also stepping into a brand-new chapter as a host on American Dream TV, and she’s generously offering her free Lifelong Lifestyle Lift Assessment to help you start exploring whether your home is supporting your growth — or quietly stunting it. So let’s dive into this powerful conversation with Kim Costa… and Call IN what might be possible when your home finally matches the woman you’re becoming. Call IT in With Dar!
