Home for Now

Episode 19: Home for Now

What makes a place feel like home? This week we explore the powerful connection between where we live and who we are. Whether it’s a childhood bedroom, a rented apartment or a permanent address, every home reflects a chapter of our personal journey. Some are forever homes, some are transitional, but all carry emotion and meaning.

We are rethinking the idea of “home” beyond real estate or decor. Instead, it’s about how we claim space for ourselves at every stage of life and why restoration, both physical and emotional, should always be part of it.

Key Themes from the Episode:

• The evolving definition of home
  We’re revisiting memories of our first childhood bedrooms to help identify the emotion that lives in our spaces. Then we’ll take some time to reflect on some of the temporary stops we’ve had along the way and how each have marked different life stages and emotional turning points.

• Making space for restoration
  A home isn’t just where we live – it’s where we should feel safe enough to let go, recharge, and begin again. We explore what it means to create a restorative space, even in the midst of chaos.

• Letting go of what no longer fits
  Sometimes we outgrow a space, even before we’re ready to leave it. We reflect on the emotional push and pull of moving on and the unexpected freedom that can follow.

• Personal belongings, deeper meanings
  How the objects we carry (or leave behind) tell our stories and how the things we surround ourselves with reflect what we value most.

• Finding home in unlikely places
  Home isn't always about permanence. Sometimes it’s the temporary places, the ones we resist or didn’t choose, that teach us the most about ourselves.

Whether you're in a forever home or a temporary stop-over, this episode is a love letter to the places that hold us while we figure it all out.
