I Had A Get It Done Day Planned And Then …
Ryan broke his arm! It was going to be the ultimate work day. I had planned out the night before what I wanted to get done today. The clients to call, the houses to preview, the inspection for my new listing, appointments to schedule for next week, networking with other agents, and more. I had even squeezed in a pedicure appointment!
Before I started on my list, though, I needed to take Ryan to the doctor and have them check his arm. He had fallen and his arm really seemed to be bothering him. Turns out he broke it! He was fine jumping of the giant pile of dirt at my Dad’s house, but he fell out of a chair and that did it. Crazy! As he walked out of the doctors office with a cast he was not too sure of things. So I decided to bail on my work day and we spent the day together. I can’t remember the last time we spent the day together, just the two of us. It was great! We had lunch together and played at the park and when he couldn’t get comfortable for his nap he slept on my lap while I sat on the couch. Talk about a happy mommy! I would give up banging out a to do list at work any day to spend it snuggling my boys. So tomorrow we will all be back at it, but I am so very grateful to have spent the day with Ryan and to be in an industry that allows me that flexibility.
And by the way, Ryan is more than fine. He figured out how to get the candy into him mouth even though his arm is at an awkward angle, climbed up the slide by himself at the park, stole Alex’s toys when he wasn’t looking and did the ‘I did it dance in the middle of Costco’ just for the fun of it.

I’m back!!! There’s been a lot going on lately, (more on that in a later post) and it’s been a few weeks since I’ve sent you a note. Needless to say, I’ve missed you! I’ve been moving through a lot of ‘life’ lately, and there’s been a common thread in my business that has surprised…
How Do You Want Summer To Feel?
Summer is often a season of expectations not meeting reality. I used to think my perfect summer meant iced tea on the patio while reading every day. For the record, that’s never happened. And for a while, I felt bad about it — like I was missing out, like I was doing summer wrong. Until…

Letting Go Of The Hustle Sounds Great, But You’ve Got a Business To Run
To be clear, I am 100% for less hustle, more flow, manifesting, receiving, regulating my nervous system, and letting things be easier. But somewhere between: “That sounds amazing” and “I’m a real estate agent – I need to generate clients and sell houses to earn an income” Things can get confusing. Because no matter how…
The Beauty of Not Doing It Alone
Thank you for being part of this community! I learned something beautiful and powerful last week. It was vulnerable to post about recalibrating, and being in the messy middle of grieving. Yet the conversations, emails, texts and notes have meant to much. To know that we are not alone is one of the greatest gifts…
Recalibrate In a Business That Runs 24/7
It happens to me every year about this time. The need to recalibrate. In a business that can run 24/7 – it’s easy to look up one day and realize, your batteries are drained and there’s no break in sight. Side note – It doesn’t have to be a 24/7 thing, but that’s a topic…
It’s Okay For Things To Be Different
I often find myself comparing things. I compare my business this year to years past.I compare my health and fitness to where I was 10 years ago.I compare how I show up and experience different life events. On the one hand – it makes perfect sense. Our brains crave predictability. It calms our nervous system.…
I Used To Be So Afraid Of This…
I used to dread client conversations. Especially pricing conversations with sellers in a softer market, like we are in right now. I was afraid of letting them down. It came up this week with a new listing. They bought at the height of the market in 2022. Today’s prices are lower than that. How do…
What If Your Income Didn’t Depend On The Market?
There are multiple markets occurring right now – in the same cities, on the same streets. Sellers are experiencing it one way. Buyers are experiencing it another. And agents? All over the board. Same market. Completely different results. So what’s the difference? What you believe. What you look for. And how you show up. Two…
Permission To Fall Apart: The Truth About Resetting Your Energy
What if your next breakthrough is on the other side of your next melt down? There’s a side to energy and mindset work that no one talks about. Most teachings only talk about being positive.
