Have you ever felt like what you're going through isn't important enough to pray about?

Maybe you're struggling with confidence, having trouble staying focused, worried about your family, or just feeling overwhelmed by everything life is throwing at you.

Friend, God cares about ALL of it.

In this Bestie Bible Study, we're doing something a little different. Instead of just talking about prayer, we're coming together to actually PRAY.

We're praying for confidence in who God has called us to be, freedom from distractions, salvation for the people we love, and the courage to let our light shine wherever God has placed us.

Because prayer isn't just for emergencies. It's an invitation to partner with God in every area of our lives.

Whether you're building a business, raising a family, navigating a difficult season, or simply trying to figure out your next step, I hope this Bible study encourages you to bring it ALL to God.

My son just proposed to the love of his life, and it was absolutely BEAUTIFUL! 💍❤️

But as I was reflecting on this special moment, I realized something that stopped me in my tracks.

I almost ruined it. And not in the way you might think.

There were decisions I almost didn't make YEARS ago that could have completely changed how this moment unfolded.

And friend, it got me thinking about the things we talk ourselves out of because we're scared, uncomfortable, or just don't want to look foolish.

What if the very thing you're avoiding today is connected to something God wants to do in your life or your family's future?

I'm sharing the story behind my son's engagement and a lesson about faith, fear, and obedience that I hope challenges you to stop playing small.

Because you never know what's on the other side of your YES.

Your seller thinks the offer is too low. But have you shown them what today's interest rates are doing to a buyer's purchasing power?

One of the biggest mistakes I see real estate agents making is only discussing mortgage rates with buyers. Friend, your SELLERS need to understand this too!

I recently had a listing that had been sitting on the market, and when we finally received an offer, it wasn't the number my sellers were hoping for. Instead of having another conversation about price, I showed them something different: what it would actually cost a buyer to purchase their home today versus a few years ago.

That conversation changed everything.

I'm breaking down how to explain lower offers to sellers, why monthly mortgage payments matter when pricing a listing, and how to use real numbers to help your clients make informed decisions.

And I've created a FREE AI prompt and guide to help you do the same thing!

Some things they just don't teach you in real estate school. 😂

After more than a decade in this business, I've seen agents do things that made me think, "Friend... NOBODY told you not to do that?!"

So let's talk about it.

I'm sharing 8 unwritten real estate etiquette rules that can impact how clients and other agents experience you, from showing up early to appointments without calling, using a seller's primary bathroom, bringing pets into someone's home, assuming you're NOT being recorded, slow communication, how you dress, contacting the other side directly, and even how you handle conflict.

Because sometimes it's not that you don't know better. Nobody ever told you.

But once you know better, you can do better.

And these little things matter when you're trying to become the go-to real estate bestie in your market.

Real estate has made me a lot of money, but one of the unexpected blessings? It taught me how to communicate better with my husband. 😂

And the same communication skills that have helped my marriage can help you convert more buyers and sellers.

Because here's what I've learned: It's not always WHAT you're saying. Sometimes it's HOW you're saying it.

Your clients don't all communicate, process information, or make decisions the same way. The more you understand different personality and communication styles, the better you'll become at adapting your conversations instead of expecting everyone to communicate like you do.

We're talking about communicating with direct clients, analytical clients, adjusting your approach, and why practicing real estate conversations through role play can make such a huge difference.

And if you want to actually PRACTICE this with me, I'm hosting a 3-Day Role Play Challenge!

October 7–9
Buyer conversations. Seller conversations. Sphere conversations. Real practice to help you become more confident and convert more clients.

What does it actually take to build a real estate business that lasts?

I'm sitting down with my real estate bestie Karen Cooper, founder of Empowering Women in Real Estate, to talk about what she's learned over 24 years in this business.

We're talking about the one thing she consistently sees holding real estate agents back, why prospecting doesn't have to mean cold calling, and the simple weekly activities she's repeated for DECADES to continue generating referrals and business.

But we also get into a conversation I think more experienced agents need to hear: What happens when the business you've built no longer fits the life you want?

Karen stepped out of personal production seven years ago, but she never stopped nurturing the relationships and business she spent years building. She shares how she made that transition, what she would do differently, and why leaving production doesn't have to mean walking away from everything you've built.

Whether you're trying to get your real estate business off the ground or you're wondering what your next season could look like, this conversation is such a good reminder that there isn't only one way to build a successful real estate business.

A brand-new real estate agent asked to host open houses in our local brokerage group. I had an $800K listing coming up, loved her initiative, and offered her the opportunity.

Then she told me her fee was $40.

And listen... I know some of y'all are going to disagree with me on this one. 😂

But this episode isn't really about $40. It's about the difference between thinking like an employee and thinking like the CEO of your real estate business.

There is a cost to doing business. Sometimes that cost is money. Sometimes it's time, energy, training, or simply being willing to put yourself in the right rooms before you know exactly how the opportunity will pay off.

We're talking about open houses, investing in your real estate business, recognizing the bigger opportunity, and why constantly nickel-and-diming your way through this career could be costing you a whole lot more than you're saving.

If you want to build a successful real estate business, you've got to start thinking like a business owner.

Not every real estate client is a client you should take.

I learned this lesson the hard way after ignoring my gut, taking a client I knew wasn't a good fit, and ending up in one of the most stressful transactions of my career.

In this episode, I'm breaking down four situations where referring the business out may actually be the better move for you AND your client.

We're talking about clients outside your service area, deals outside your area of expertise, dual agency situations, and the clients where you can tell from the beginning that there's a major mismatch in personality, values, or expectations.

Because one of the lessons I've learned after more than a decade in real estate is simple: all money ain't good money.

Sometimes the smartest business decision you can make is to say no, protect your time and reputation, connect that client with the right agent, and collect a referral fee instead.

If you've ever ignored the red flags because you needed the commission, this episode is for you.
