What Comes First – Energy or Mindset?
They aren’t the same thing.
Mindset is just that – working to change your thoughts, which is turns out is pretty difficult. Your mind is powerful. And yes, you can use your mind to think different thoughts and change your outcome. But at its core, your mind is wired to keep you safe, which it equates to same. So any attempt to change is met with a decent dose of resistance.
You can read books, say affirmations and work to shift your mindset, but it’s just that – a whole lot of work.
What if there was an easier way?
A way that takes time and intention, but not nearly as much work and struggle?
That’s where energy comes in.
Your energy is your vibe, otherwise known as your frequency. It’s the ‘how’ in how you show up.
Consider these two scenarios:
You wake up tired, drained and overwhelmed with a long to do list. Do you focus on your mindset and keep telling yourself to be grateful and muscle through it, forcing yourself to dutifully check each item off the list? Perhaps you get it all done, but it was drudgery in every sense of the word. On a scale of 1-10 your energy is about 2.5 and the end of the day.
Or
Do you take a few minutes to shift your energy before starting on the list? Maybe you crank some music and dance around the house while getting ready? I don’t know about you, but music is one of the quickest ways to shift my energy into a more positive and open state. From there the list looks a little less daunting, maybe you even realize some things don’t need to be done, or there are others you can call on to help. You finish the day feeling happy, fulfilled and with enough energy left to enjoy dinner with your family.
Doesn’t that sound better?
Shifting your energy doesn’t have to be difficult and it doesn’t have to become a big ritual that adds a lot of time to your already overbooked day. But the results are huge.

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.

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…

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…
