    We finally had a little money, a little stability and a plan to get ourselves out. In Episode 6, we start turning our skills, connections and sheer audacity into actual opportunities. My mom chases a major art gig while I attempt to pitch…

    August 19, 2026 · 22 min

    We decided to sell the only thing keeping us alive: our car.  In Episode 5, we’re low on fuel, low on time and have nowhere to go if this plan fails. We hit dealership after dealership, only to hear no again and again.  With the clock…

About the show

Accidentally Homeless is a storytelling podcast about what happens when ordinary life suddenly stops making sense. One day my mom and I had a home. The next, we were living in our car.

This isn't a story about hardship. It's a story about two ordinary people navigating circumstances designed to wipe them off the board, finding laughter in the worst place
