What Do I (You) Have To Offer?
Imposter syndrome. It’s a thing, and it can show up no matter how old you are or how long you have been doing something.
It’s come up a lot this week. As I prepare to emcee e3, an amazing event put on by agents, for agents, I’ve had the pleasure of connecting with many of the speakers. We’ve been chatting about their talks and how I can best set them up for success with their introductions. These are amazing agents, sharing what they are best at. And yet so many of them mentioned being nervous. Wondering who they are to be speaking in front of their peers.
It happens for me too. Every time I put out a new class or say yes to teaching a workshop, there is a part of me that says, who are you to do this? Who are you to think that this will make a difference?
And yet, I know that it does. I have countless notes from people that have taken my classes and shared what a difference it has made.
Just like each and every one of the agents who speaks at this event will positively impact someone.
Over the years, I’ve learned to lean in when Imposter Syndrome shows up. It’s a sign that I’m pushing myself and growth is always worth it, even if it feels uncomfortable in the moment.
Here are a couple of other tips that seem to help:
- Have a support person. Someone that you can share your feelings with that will support you.
- Lean in. Show up. Resist the urge to hide.
- Know that you are not alone.
- The Universe wants you to succeed and what you have to say matters.
- Your job is to share your message, it’s up to others to decide what do to with it.
Above all else, know that each thing you do is a stepping stone to something else. You never know where your path might lead. Half the fun is saying yes and then seeing what happens!
To your success!

It’s Not Just Your Story – It’s Everyone Else’s Too
I’ve spent years working on my own limiting beliefs — but I discovered one at the Abraham Hicks workshop last weekend that I had completely missed. Esther, aka Abraham Hicks, has been a leader in mindset, energy, and attraction for decades. My mom actually took my sister and me to a workshop 30 years ago,…
Bet On Yourself VS The Market
Last week I shared how the end of August is a weird time – wanting to savor summer, while also shifting back into work mode. Turns out I’m not the only one this happens to! Thank you for all of the notes and feedback. I’ve found that when I’m not taking action, I spend WAY…
I Used To Dread The Last 2 Weeks Of August
Thirty years in real estate has taught me a lot of things. One of the best is this: I can finally see my own patterns. Like the one where I get twitchy every year mid-August. Part of me wants summer to stretch on forever. Part of me is itching for routine, order, and the satisfaction…
Beliefs = Actions = Results – It Matters Where You Start
August is an interesting month for me. I’m savoring the relaxed pace of summer, while also starting to think about Fall and shifting back into work mode. With a shift in focus I naturally start wondering what will happen. Will I be busy? Where will my clients come from? Will they be buyers or sellers?…
What Do You LOVE About Your Business?
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…
You’re Not Behind, There Are Infinite Options
Your in box is about to fill up with emails about us being 1/2 through the year. You know – the ones that ask if you’re on track with your goals, and offer a solution to whip you into shape for the next 6 months. If you are having a great year – I celebrate…
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…
