Taking The Leap ~ The Secret To Lift Off
I remember watching Alex, our oldest, learning to jump. First of all it never occurred to me that learning to jump and learning to walk are two different things. It seems natural that if you can do one you can do the other. Not so apparently.
Alex spent a few weeks standing in one spot just trying to get airborne. Seriously on of the cutest things ever to witness as a parent with his intense concentration. Eventually he got it though, and within a week it was an unconsious act.

Watching Alex learn to jump made me realize all of the things in our life that are seemingly impossible at first and yet with a small amount of determination quickly become a non issue.
The difference between children and adults is that as a child, you know that it’s normal to struggle in the beginning. It’s part of the process. Struggling does not mean you should give up. It just means you try a different way.
As an adults, we often forget that struggling in the beginning can be a natural part of the process. As soon as we struggle we assume something is wrong, or it wasn’t meant to be. Success is often closer than you think.
Not only that, but if you keep trying you will be amazed one day to look back and realize that what was once so difficult is now a basic part of who you are.
Don’t give up. It’s all about taking the leap. The net will be there and you are closer than you think.
To your success!

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…
