About this episode

In this episode, Madeline Sells continues her conversation with Mariah McKay about community living and the importance of connection.

Part 2 with the incredible Mariah McKay is here! 🎙️ She’s a powerhouse in Spokane, helping lead the way at Haystack Heights , the city’s first cohousing development. In this episode, we talk about what it means to choose community first —supporting each other’s families, cooking and growing food together, and sustaining a model of living that’s rooted in connection. 🌱🏘️ Mariah is about to welcome a baby (!!) but still brought her brilliance and heart to this conversation. 💛 I couldn’t think of a better way to launch Season 3 of Casual Disasters . More amazing guests are coming soon 👀 but for now, enjoy this one. Big love to my new producer, Estimate —he edits the show and made our theme song! 🎶 Go give him a follow 👉 @Est0_94. Also—merch is coming!! Stickers + t-shirts are on the way. Every guest who’s ever been on the pod will get a free shirt 🎁, and you’ll be able to snag yours soon too. Stay tuned!
