Crisp mornings, pumpkin spice lates, leaves that change to vibrant hues of gold and orange –  and a clock that seems to tick louder by the day when it comes to income goals for 2024. Welcome to Fall. In the past, I would get really anxious right about now. I would look at the calendar…

By Nicole Mangina | August 29, 2024

It’s been 2 weeks since the NAR settlement. How’s it going? Scratch that – don’t answer that. Better yet, don’t ask the question in the first place.

It happens every single time! Fortunately I know it’s a pattern so I’m not completely freaking out, but it goes a little something like this: June – school gets out and all is right with the world.

We See Evidence of What We Believe

By Nicole Mangina | August 9, 2024

Whatever you believe to be true is what you’ll find evidence of in your daily life. I was reminded of this yesterday. It was August 8th.  A big day in the energy world. It’s a day to set intentions, manifest and connect to the Universe. Basically, a day to go full Woo. But I didn’t…

Things I Would Win A Gold Medal In If They Were An Olympic Sport

By Nicole Mangina | August 2, 2024

I love the Olympics! The stories, the athletes, the events, all of it! It’s as inspiring as it is entertaining.

Stop Waiting, Your Time Is Now

Last night I got to witness something magical. That moment when someone puts a stake in the ground, takes the leap, does the thing, and puts themselves out there. It was AWESOME! Nancy is a fellow real estate agent and amazing friend. She’s got a knack for telling stories and weaving in reminders that life…

Pretty Good Is Better Than Great

By Nicole Mangina | June 28, 2024

I’ve been in full creative mode this week as I work on new classes and masterminds for the Fall. And in true fashion – I fell into the cycle that many do when they are creating something new: This is awesome This is hard This is crap I am crap This might be okay This…

School’s Out For Summer!

By Nicole Mangina | June 21, 2024

Summer vacation starts today in our house. Woohoo! I appreciate the structure of the school year, but I also welcome the shift that comes with the boys being out of school. Schedules change, the weather is better and life feels more relaxed. Shifts are a beautiful opportunity to check in on what’s working, what’s not…
