  • Ep. 24 Burnout & Boundaries (Ft. Gabby Howard)
    Mar 19 2026

    There was a season in my business where everything looked successful on the outside—but behind the scenes, I was completely burned out.

    In this episode, I’m joined by my friend Gabby Howard as we talk honestly about the reality of burnout in real estate and entrepreneurship. From constantly being “on,” to struggling to set boundaries, to hitting a breaking point—we’re sharing what it actually looked like and what we’ve changed since.

    If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, overworked, or just want to avoid it all together… this conversation will hit home.

  • Ep. 23 - Creating Your CEO Rhythms (& How It Transformed my Business)
    Mar 5 2026

    If you feel busy - but not in control or like you just have no plan, this episode is for you.


    So many rookie realtors spend their days reacting — to clients, texts, contracts, showings — and then wonder why they feel burned out or inconsistent.


    In today’s episode, I’m breaking down what “CEO time” actually means and how creating intentional CEO rhythms completely changed the trajectory of my business.


    If you don’t make time to work on your business, you’ll be working in your business forever — that’s called a job.


    In this episode, we talk about:

    • The difference between working in vs. on your business
    • What I actually do during my CEO hours & how to structure it
    • How this practice transformed my business and my life


    Whether you’re in your first year or your fifth, CEO rhythms create clarity, confidence, and consistency. It’s never too late or too early to implement this “CEO time” into your rhythms.

    You’re not crazy — and it doesn’t mean you’ve failed.


    In this episode, we’re talking about what it really looks like to outgrow your first brokerage OR have just decided it’s not a good fit.


    We’re getting honest about how to know if it’s time to move and how to leave with professionalism and integrity. I’m sharing practical steps and emotional encouragement during the tough decision to make a brokerage switch early on.
