Why I’m Not Selling My House—and What I’m Building Instead
I'm Choosing Legacy Over a Clean Exit
I was planning to sell my house and leave town.
That made sense for a long time. I needed distance. I needed a reset. I needed to step away from a place that held a lot of weight.
But as I started preparing to leave, something changed.
I realized I didn’t want to leave nothing behind.
I don’t want my exit to be a clean break that closes a door. I want it to be a handoff—to something that continues doing good long after I’m gone.
That’s when the idea became clear:
this house doesn’t need to be sold. It needs to be repurposed.
When a Personal Ending Becomes a Shared Beginning: Turning a Home Into Women’s Recovery Housing
The Pulse Project has always been about turning lived experience into something larger than one story.
This house is part of that.
Instead of selling it, I’m working toward transforming it into a women-only sober living home, designed specifically to support women and survivors recovering after violence.
Not a treatment facility.
Not a shelter that strips people of autonomy.
Not a short-term fix.
A stable, structured home where safety, dignity, and recovery are built into the environment itself.
The Space Between Crisis and Stability: A Safe Sober Living Home for Women & Survivors
There’s a massive gap between crisis and independence.
Many women leave unsafe situations with nowhere that feels truly secure. Others are trying to stay sober while also healing from trauma—and those two things are deeply connected.
This home is meant to be a safe destination in that in-between space:
- A place with structure and clear boundaries
- A place where sobriety is supported, not policed
- A place where women can stabilize before rebuilding their lives
Healing doesn’t happen in chaos.
It happens in environments that are predictable, respectful, and safe.
Leaving Without Disappearing: Building a System That Heals Beyond One Person
I still plan to leave town.
That part hasn’t changed.
What has changed is the way I’m leaving.
Instead of selling a house and closing a chapter, I’m choosing to leave behind something that can carry healing forward—year after year, woman after woman.
A house that becomes part of a larger mission.
A long-term asset for good.
A space that works even when I’m not there.
This is how The Pulse Project moves from ideas into real-world infrastructure.
