Are Things Happening For You or To You?
Wow! This showed up for me big time with week.
It’s been a week of highs and lows all rolled into one.
On Wednesday, I hosted over 80 agents for a class on Articulating Your Value. It’s something I really struggled with early in my career. Over time I’ve gone from dreading the conversation to welcoming it. Helping agents see their value, and know that they are worthy of their fee is something I’m passionate about.
From there I went on to record a podcast episode with the amazing Erin Bradley of Pursuing Freedom. We covered a lot in a short period of time. Erin is someone that I have tremendous respect for, and it was an honor to be on her show. The episode will air next week.
In the midst of these amazing experiences – there’s been a lot of ‘life’ happening with aging parents, and both boys being injured in the middle of baseball season.
I’m feeling all the feels right now. Happiness, joy and excitement on the work front. Anger, sadness, grief and disappointment on the home front.
It’s a pattern that many of us experience. Good things happen, momentum starts to build and then something takes us off course.
- Something happens with our relationships
- There’s a family emergency
- We experience a financial set back
- Our health takes a turn (my pattern has been migraines that take me out for a day or two)
In the midst of wondering ‘why is all of this crazy stuff happening right now’ I was able to take a step back and see it for what it really is.
I’m taking a HUGE step forward with coaching other agents and helping them navigate their own up-leveling. So this is an opportunity for me to do the same.
By leaning into the support of my mastermind and repeating over an over again that things happen for me vs to me I’ve been able to crack the door on seeing things differently and knowing that this doesn’t have to derail me.
If you were on the Articulating Your Value call, you know that I have a new Mastermind starting next month called Prosper: Magnetize Clients, Income and The Confidence to Create it on Repeat.
My mission is to create a Mastermind that has the ‘work stuff’ you need and also acknowledges the ‘life stuff’ that happens in the midst of it with a strong dose of with mindset and energy work. I believe that mindset and energy work are the foundation for everything. It’s proving it be true over and over in my own life as well those in my current mastermind groups. It’s about having the tools to navigate all of this.
The details will be out in the next week or so, but if Prosper something you are interest in, hit replay and lets’ chat.
To your success!

Markets Like This Call For Shorter Timeframes
For 30 years I’ve planned a year at a time. But right now I’m doing things differently. I’m breaking my plan into 60-90 day chunks. Short term planning used to stress me out. It felt like there wasn’t any margin for error if I got off track. However, right now, it feels supportive. While I…
Why I Stopped Doing Open Houses The First Weekend
Open houses the first weekend – we all do them. We tell our clients it will increase exposure. But what if those open houses are making it more difficult to sell your listing? Consider this… Buyers have come to rely on open houses to view properties. It’s convenient for them, but it means fewer showings.…
What If The Market Is Better Than You Think?
Try this on for size: What if the market isn’t good or bad? What if it’s about shifting your perspective? There are amazing opportunities for both buyers and sellers right now. For buyers: Prices are down (yay!) and interest rates are up (boo!). Buyers need to consider both. In many areas prices are down 10-20%.…

The Cost of Waiting
I’ve talked to many agents that are waiting…. Waiting for interest rates to get betterWaiting for the market to improve (whatever that means)Waiting to show up on social media until they know how to create the perfect viral postWaiting … Waiting … Waiting … I get it. The only thing worse than feeling stuck, is…
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…
