Managing the Adrenaline / Emotional Roller Coaster of Real Estate
Closings, getting mutual on a contract, receiving a referral – there are lots of wins in real estate. Each one brings a shot of adrenaline that feels amazing.
However, those moments are often short lived, with a lot of space in between. If you aren’t careful that space can fill with self doubt, insecurity or overwhelm.
Hence the roller coaster. You can be on top of the world one day and in the valley of despair the next.
I’ve been paying close attention to my own ups and downs lately, as well as those around me. I’m seeing agents riding the roller coaster of real estate, the stock market, interest rates and whatever else happens to make the headlines on any given day. It’s got a lot of people spinning – to the point that it’s affecting their income.
There’s a dance of being engaged, while protecting your energy and quite frankly your mental health.
And so my question to you is ‘how do you protect your energy?’ What do you do in the dips when doubt creeps in?
Here are some things that work for me:
- Acknowledge that I’m in a lull, and it’s a normal part of the process. Awareness, without judgment, is the first step to changing anything. Especially shifting your energy and getting momentum going again.
- Go for a walk or workout. Movement helps a lot!
- Lean into my tribe – for support, for additional perspectives and most of all to know that I’m not alone.
#3 is exactly why I created my Prosper Mastermind.
We all need a tribe that supports us. Each month we dive into tactical actions and mindset shifts that will allow you navigate the market and the lulls in your own business to stay on track.
March can be a tricky time in business. Your motivation from the beginning of the year is starting to wane, you’re wondering how and if you can reach your goals. Should you stay committed to them? Do you need to modify / down grade your goals? Should you just keep going and hope for the best?
The answer to all of this is NO. Stay committed to your goals. Surround yourself with a tribe that is committed to getting you there. Have questions about Prosper? Hit reply and let’s chat.
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.

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 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…

I Stopped Waiting For The World To Change… That’s When Everything Did
