The home renovation pro, 46, hostedRehab Addicton the network from 2010 to 2018, before taking some time out of the spotlight and returning withRehab Addict Rescuein 2021.
“We’re going back to my hometown of Lake Orion,” the Detroit-based home renovator begins in a teaser for the first episode of her new show.
“I saved this little lake cottage from demolition eight years ago,” Curtis continues as aerial cameras pan over the quaint lakeside town. “At that time of my life, I was a renovating machine, snatching up every old house that needed some love and bringing them back to life.”
In the clip, Curtis goes on to say she didn’t think there was any project she couldn’t tackle. But this house nearly proved her wrong. The charming 1904 property she thought would be a “breeze” to fix up wound up being her most challenging yet, and nearly a decade later, it remained unfinished.
“We are basically starting from scratch,” Curtis says, “and it would be my most difficult, most expensive, and most complicated project of my career.”
But now, she promises, “this lake house is going across the finish line.”
In 2015, she welcomed another son, Harper, in the middle of herRehab Addictrun. While filming, she went through ayears-long custody battleover her youngest with her ex-boyfriendShane Maguire. They finallyreached a custody agreementin October 2018.
“I can’t lie and say that I’m not nervous about having a show back out there,” she told PEOPLE exclusively ahead of the launch of her second seriesRehab Addict Rescue.But this time, she was doing it on her own terms.

“I had a very chaotic ten years. I didn’t want to go down that path again,” she said. “I’m hyper-focused right now on remembering where I want to be, what matters in my life, what my priorities are. My biggest thing, always, is that life is short and I want to live it to the fullest. And I’m thankful our fans have appreciated that.”
