Let’s talk about something that comes up constantly in my coaching conversations:

“I don’t want to seem greedy, but…”

I hear it from women.

I hear it from men.

I hear it from top producers and new agents alike.

Somewhere along the way, we internalized the idea that wanting more — more income, more freedom, more peace, more room to breathe — makes us greedy.

It doesn’t.

In today’s episode of the Align & Prosper Podcast, I’m breaking down:

✨ The difference between true greed and healthy desire

✨ Why so many of us feel guilty for wanting more

✨ How this guilt blocks your income and opportunities

✨ Why your desires are actually guidance

✨ How to give yourself permission to want what you want

This episode is especially powerful if you're entering 2026 with new goals but feel a bit conflicted about naming them out loud.

In this honest and heartfelt episode of the Aligned and Prosperous Podcast, host and coach Deborah Stellingwerff pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to bring a big vision to life—and how to recover from the sprint.

Deb shares candid lessons from launching her bestselling book Align & Prosper, a book for realtors about building a business without burnout, and how the very process of launching it pushed her to the edge of exhaustion. She explores the striking parallels between the book writing and launch process and the sprints and marathons of real estate, and the rhythms required to sustain both energy and success.

You’ll also learn Deb’s top four strategies for recovering from and moving through burnout, drawn from her own lived experience and the coaching tools she teaches Realtors every day.

If you’ve ever felt like your business is running you instead of the other way around, this episode will remind you that success doesn’t require self-sacrifice—it requires alignment.

In this special episode of the Aligned & Prosperous Podcast, I hand the microphone to my dear friend and former client, Tracey Lundell, who interviews me about the journey of bringing my new book, Align & Prosper, to life.

Over three years, this book stretched me in every way — personally and professionally. Tracey and I talk about the hurdles I had to overcome, the lessons I distilled from decades of experience, and the triumph of finally holding this message in my hands.

You’ll also get a behind-the-scenes look at the five pillars that form the heart of my work — the same framework that has helped countless agents and entrepreneurs align with their values, strengthen their confidence, and create thriving businesses without burning out.

This isn’t just a conversation about writing a book. It’s about what it means to live and lead in alignment — and how you can take these practices into your own business and life.
