I Bought a 200-Year-Old Haunted House Sight Unseen (And It Wrecked My Life)
MAKE SPACE with Cara NewhartShow Notes
We're back. After a two year hiatus, Make Space returns with the real story of where I've been, and why it matters.
In this episode, I catch you up on buying a nearly 200 year old house across the country, completely sight unseen over Zoom. I get into the divorce, the friendship that fell apart, the money I lost, and the haunted house stories that came with it. I also share why renovating this house ended up healing me in ways therapy never could, and why your home has more power over your life than you think.
If you're new here, welcome. If you've been here since 2019, thank you for sticking around through the chaos. This season is going to go deeper into what it actually means to build a dream home, especially when life doesn't go as planned.
