Your house didn’t suddenly get bigger; your life just got different. Transitioning to an empty nest can turn a lively home into a quiet space filled with big questions:

Do we need all this room? Should we stay, go, or renovate?

In this insightful episode, real estate agent and author Kim Costa joins us to explore how empty nesters can choose a home that fits their current identity, not the one from a decade ago.

Kim shares her unique Wheelhouse Assessment, starting with the “Four Ms”—myself, mastery, mission, and mates—and expanding into the wheel of life: health, environment, fun, romance, career, finances, family, and spirituality. You’ll learn how to separate essential needs from “nice to have” features using Maslow’s hierarchy of needs.

With practical strategies for repurposing rooms, avoiding new problems when solving old ones, and understanding the benefits of renting first, Kim demystifies the home transition process. The concept of “lock and leave” living is also explored for those desiring more freedom with less maintenance.

Key Takeaways:

Identify signs your home no longer fits your lifestyle.Use the Four Ms to clarify your identity and support system.Define your ideal lifestyle through the wheel of life.Start with a clear vision for your next phase.Renting first can test a new community before committing.Join us as Kim Costa highlights that this chapter isn’t an ending—it’s a chance to redefine, rediscover, and reignite your life.
