181: When Your Life Outgrows Your Space with Kim Costa

Have you ever felt like something in your life is off—but you can’t quite explain why?

In this episode of the Spiritual Shift Worker Podcast, Lianne sits down with Kim Costa, creator of the Wheelhouse Assessment, to explore a piece of misalignment most people overlook: your home and environment.

This conversation goes far beyond real estate. We talk about how misalignment whispers before it screams, why so many women feel like they’re living the same year on repeat, and how your physical space can either support your nervous system—or quietly drain it.

Kim shares her powerful personal story, including a life-altering accident that forced her to confront how deeply out of alignment her life had become. Together, we unpack how small, intentional changes—rather than blowing up your entire life—can help you reconnect with who you actually are now.

If you’re in midlife and feeling restless, stuck, or like your life no longer fits the version of you that’s emerging, this episode will give you language, clarity, and a grounded place to start.

• Why feeling “off” is often a sign of environmental misalignment

• How your home impacts your nervous system, energy, and mental health

• The difference between staying, renovating, or moving—and how to know which is right for you

• Kim’s Four M’s Framework: Myself, Mastery, Mission, and Mates

• The 8 key life areas that determine whether your life feels supportive or draining

• Why misalignment shows up as frustration, clutter, overwhelm, or stagnation

• How to make life changes without overwhelming your nervous system

• Why small, intentional shifts can prevent decades of living out of alignment

• You feel stuck in midlife but don’t want to blow up your life

• You sense you’ve outgrown your space, career, or lifestyle

• You’re craving clarity, simplicity, and nervous-system-friendly change
