What starts as everyday life… can turn into a forever kind of calling. 🤍

In this episode of The HOPEful Connection, host Staci Owen sits down with Kathy Jo Glenn to share her 10+ year journey as a Host Home.

From navigating Missouri’s unpredictable weather 😅 to building a home filled with belonging, growth, and purpose—this conversation is a real look at what it means to open your life to others.

✨ Creating family beyond blood

✨ Walking alongside individuals as they experience life for the first time

✨ The challenges, the beauty, and the lifelong commitment

✨ Why community support is everything

Because they don’t know what they haven’t experienced yet…

And sometimes, all it takes is someone willing to show them.

Welcome to The HOPEful Connection. A podcast that connects you to the disability community. We're your hosts, Staci Owen, Whitley Lemon, and Danielle Coffey.
