In this no-nonsense episode of We’re Doing This Right. Right?, Cheryl & Colleen sits down with Candy Miles-Crocker, author of The Reality of Real Estate and Senior Sales Manager at Compass, overseeing 350+ agents, to talk about what it really takes to build a thriving, sustainable business in real estate.

Candy shares her belief that “you can’t expect full-time results from part-time effort,” and explains how discipline, consistency, and mindset are the keys to long-term success. Together, they unpack how to define success on your own terms, set boundaries, and replace comparison with clarity.

This conversation is packed with practical strategies to help you plan better, market smarter, and maintain your energy — especially when the industry feels chaotic.

💡 What You’ll Learn:

• Why part-time effort leads to part-time results

• How to define your version of success (not someone else’s)

• Practical ways to stay accountable and consistent

• How to romanticize the mundane parts of your business

• Why sustainable growth matters more than social-media optics

• Tips to manage your time, energy, and clients effectively

In this soul-stirring episode, Cheryl and Colleen kick things off with a shared revelation — they’re officially Swifties now — before diving into a powerful and personal conversation about the “hills they’ll die on.” These aren’t just opinions — they’re deeply rooted beliefs that guide how they live, lead, and love.

From embracing authenticity to owning imperfection, and from redefining success to calling in community, this episode is a rally cry for women who are done with hustle culture and ready to live life on their terms.

The hosts unpack the idea that when women thrive, everyone benefits — families, businesses, communities. They explore how honoring your strengths, expressing the things you’ve been too scared to say out loud, and creating environments of support are not just nice-to-haves, but musts.

🌱 Topics Covered:

• The unexpected gateway drug that is Taylor Swift

• “Hills We’ll Die On” and what that really means

• The value of changing your mind (and making it known)

• Why connection always trumps perfection

• Choosing integrity over popularity

• Community as the ultimate ROI

• Manifesting, mindset shifts, and preparing for your best life

• Creating safe spaces for women to thrive — and why that matters

📌 Favorite Quote:“Women thriving isn’t just good for women — it’s good for everyone.”

If your calendar is packed and your mind is fried, this episode is your official permission slip to slow down, set boundaries, and actually care for yourself. Cheryl and Colleen break down 6 strategic, sanity-saving days you should schedule immediately if you want to avoid burnout and thrive in business and life.

They share personal stories, practical prompts, and mindset shifts that will help you treat self-care not as an afterthought, but as a strategic move.

These aren’t just “cute ideas”—they’re essential survival tools for women doing it all.

🗓️ The 6 Must-Have Days:

1. Get Your Sh*t Together Day

2. • Clear the inbox, pay the bills, plan the meals, sort the chaos

   • 🧠 Mental bandwidth starts here

3. Unplug Day

4. • A full 24 hours off screens to reconnect with yourself, your thoughts, and your people

   • 🤳 Spoiler: You won’t miss as much as you think

5. Be a Tourist Day

6. • Explore your own city like you’ve never seen it before

   • 🚶‍♀️ Local adventure is still adventure

7. Reconnection Day

8. • Rebuild bonds with friends, mentors, your community, or yourself

   • 🤝 Relationships = real ROI

9. Couple/Partner Day

10. • Intentional time with the one who often comes last on the list

    • 💞 Don’t just survive your relationship—invest in it

11. Comfy / Schedule Nothing Day

12. • Cancel plans, wear the sweats, and do nothing on purpose

    • 🛋️ Rest is a strategy, not a luxury

🔥 Why This Matters:

• Self-care isn’t selfish—it’s essential for sustainability

• Burnout doesn’t always look dramatic—it’s often slow and silent

• Scheduling ahead is the key to actually following through

• Boundaries = freedom (and fewer meltdowns)
