Living Out the Call of Caregiving | Guest Brandy Fajen with Co-Host Staci Owen

What does it look like to truly see someone — and change a life in the process?

In this episode, Staci Owen welcomes Host Home provider Brandy Fajen to share her powerful journey through foster care, adoption, and over seven years of serving individuals through Restoring Hope, LLC.

Brandy talks honestly about faith, family buy-in, community support, and the reality of walking alongside individuals through trauma, growth, and transformation. From bucket list moments and first family vacations to navigating transitions and tough conversations, this episode is a real look at the heart behind Host Home care.

This conversation is for anyone passionate about:

• Foster care and Host Home services

• Disability support and community living

• Faith-driven service and caregiving

Because sometimes the most life-changing thing we can do… is simply show up and follow through.
