Mental Health and Homelessness | Stacey’s Story of Isolation | #ImagineDignityPodcast Ep. 4 | S2

In Episode 4 of Season 2 of the Imagine Dignity Podcast, I sat down with Stacey, a woman I met in Greenville, South Carolina, who lives in a motel but still experiences the reality of homelessness.

Without a stable home, Stacey finds herself in a transient state—having a place to stay, but lacking security, community, and stability. She shared how motel policies prevent her from building a sense of belonging where she stays, which is why she chooses to spend time with people experiencing homelessness on the streets. Stacey also opened up about the pain of losing her mother and the challenges of living with a disability.

Her story is a reminder that homelessness isn’t just about being on the streets—it’s also about the instability of not having a permanent place to call home.

Stacey’s journey highlights the deep need for community, understanding, and compassion for those living in uncertain housing situations.
