What if getting clear on the life you want 10 years from now could completely shift how you show up today?

In this episode, we’re talking about the power of writing a 10 year letter — a simple but incredibly impactful exercise where you write to your future self (or from your future self) about the life you’re building. We dive into why envisioning your future in detail actually helps your brain create clearer goals, stronger motivation, and better daily decisions right now.

Studies have shown that when you visualize your future and connect emotionally to it, you’re more likely to take consistent action, stay focused, and follow through on long-term goals. And honestly? You’ll be surprised how much clarity comes from putting that vision on paper.

We’ll chat through:
✨ Why future visioning works
🧠 How it impacts motivation and decision-making
✍️ How to write your own 10 year letter
🎯 And how to use it as a roadmap for what you need to do today

If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of your next move, this episode might be the reset you didn’t know you needed.

Sometimes the clearest path forward starts with looking ahead.

• 10 year letter questions
  • Where are you waking up?
  • How do you start your day?
  • What type of work are you doing?
  • How do you unwind?
• Build the plan
  • What choices do I need to make in 2026 to move me closer to this vision?
  • What do my intentions need to be when outlining these goals that will move me one year closer to accomplishing them?

Fresh off a mastermind event in Charlotte, Alyssa and I are sitting down to unpack what actually stuck—not just the notes we scribbled down, but the ideas that challenged us, stretched our thinking, and are already shaping how we show up in our businesses.

In this episode, we’re revisiting our biggest takeaways, the mindset shifts that hit hardest, and the strategies we’re committed to implementing (not just talking about). We’ll share what resonated, what surprised us, and how being in the room with other driven agents reminded us why community, accountability, and continued growth matter so much in this industry.

If you’ve ever left an event fired up but unsure how to turn inspiration into action, this one’s for you.

We’re switching gears this week for a little mindset reset and a lot of inspiration. In this episode, we’re diving into The Go-Giver by Bob Burg and John David Mann. This is a small but mighty book that completely flips the script on success.

We’ll talk about:
💡 The 5 Laws of Stratospheric Success (and how they apply to real estate)
🤝 Why leading with generosity doesn’t mean working for free
💬 The difference between being a people-pleaser vs. being a true giver
✨ How this simple shift in mindset can change the way you do business—and how clients see you

Because when you stop chasing numbers and start focusing on value, everything else tends to fall into place.

New year, new goals… same chaotic duo. In this episode, Alyssa and I are sitting down to break open our vision for 2026 — the big goals, the uncomfortable stretch points, the habits we’re building, and the things we’re absolutely leaving behind.

We’re talking about what we want this next year to feel like, how we’re structuring our businesses for growth, and the systems that will actually support our sanity. No fluff, no fake hustle energy — just two real estate girls mapping out a year with intention, clarity, and a whole lot of honesty.

Somewhere along the way, real estate convinced us that exhaustion is a badge of honor. Spoiler alert — it’s not. Hustling yourself into the ground isn’t strategy, and burnout definitely isn’t a business plan.

In this episode, we’re unpacking what burnout really looks like in our industry, why so many agents hit that wall, and how to break the cycle before it takes over your life.

If you're tired, stretched thin, or just done pretending everything is fine, this episode is your permission slip to rebuild in a healthier, more sustainable way.

Because you can be successful and well. Burnout doesn’t get to run your business anymore.

As we close out 2025, we’re taking a look back at the year that shaped us — the big wins, the unexpected plot twists, the growth moments, and the gratitude that carried us through.

In this episode, we’re breaking down what worked in our business, what didn’t, and what we’re taking with us into 2026. From repeat clients and referrals to the messy middle of real estate life, we’re sharing honest numbers, real stories, and the behind-the-scenes perspective that doesn’t make it onto Instagram.

Think of it as a coffee-chat recap — real, reflective, and full of the kind of transparency this industry needs more of.

Cheers to the year that built us, and the one we’re walking into with clarity, confidence, and a little more wisdom.

If 2026 is the year you want to show up bigger, braver, and more grounded as an agent, this episode is your roadmap. We’re breaking down the real building blocks of confidence — the kind that isn’t loud or flashy, but steady, rooted, and undeniable.

We’ll dive into:
💬 Communicating clearly and calmly in any situation
🛑 Setting boundaries that protect your time, energy, and sanity
🤝 Keeping the small promises you make to yourself
💪 Choosing bravery even when it feels uncomfortable

Because confidence isn’t something you wait to feel — it’s something you create. And the more you honor your voice, your values, and your commitments, the stronger and more unstoppable you become.

2026 is the year you get to stand tall in who you are as an agent. Let’s build that version of you together.
