Being part-time isn’t your problem — believing it is might be.

If you’re balancing real estate with another job, family, or a full life, this episode will help you rethink what success actually looks like in this season. Real estate rewards focus, not just free time. And some of the most effective agents aren’t full-time — they’re intentional.

We’re talking about how to stop treating part-time like a limitation and start approaching it with clarity and strategy. If you’ve ever felt behind, discouraged, or unsure if you can really make this work while part-time, this conversation is for you.

Hey Bestie! ✨ If you’ve ever wished for a crystal ball to see where the real estate market is heading, this episode is for you. After nearly a decade in the business, I’ve noticed specific shifts in 2026 that most agents are completely missing. I’m pulling back the curtain on my Top 6 Predictions, covering everything from the unexpected return of buyers and the "authenticity audit" on social media to a rising sensitive trend among homeowners that will require a new level of skill and compassion. This isn't just a market update; it's your strategic blueprint to stop guessing and start winning in the new year.

If you’ve ever felt a knot in your stomach when it’s time to talk to people about real estate, you’re not alone — and you’re not broken. Bestie, you’re not actually afraid of conversations… you’re afraid of rejection. Yep, we’re going there today. Because until you name it, you can’t beat it. In this episode, we’re unpacking why reaching out feels so intimidating, where that fear really comes from, and how to move past it so you can finally show up boldly and confidently in your business. You don’t need better scripts — you need a better understanding of you. Let’s get into it.

Bestie, are you tired of the "hustle culture" that usually comes with New Year goal planning? For the first time in a decade, I’m trading my whiteboards and spreadsheets for something much deeper: a solo retreat with God. In this episode, I’m walking you through the exact 24-hour framework I used to refocus my spirit, confront my fears, and get clarity on my "next steps" for 2026. I’m also sharing a very important (and emotional) update about the future of the Real Estate Bestie platform and why we are choosing to go deeper instead of wider this year. If you’ve felt a tug to move differently this season, this conversation is for you!

Bestie, have you ever wondered if it’s truly possible to build a high-performing real estate business without the "hustle" of cold calling or chasing strangers? In this episode, I’m sitting down with my real-life bestie, Lacea Grimes, who went from having zero social media presence to closing over 33 transactions in just two years using a simple "day in the life" framework. She’s sharing how she overcame the paralyzing fear of being on camera and the exact mindset shift she used to turn her authentic daily routine into a lead-generation machine. If you’re ready to stop being a "secret agent" and start attracting clients who already know, like, and trust you before you even meet, you need to hear Lacea's story!

Most agents think they’re not hitting six figures because they need more — more leads, more followers, more referrals. But the truth is simpler: you don’t have a leads problem, you have a conversations problem. In this episode, I’m breaking down why talking to people (consistently!) is the real game-changer in your business and how this one shift can completely transform your income.

Some questions shake the internet… and some questions shake your soul. This Bible study was sparked by a viral post asking, “Would you choose ten minutes with Jesus or a trillion dollars?” While the world debated B. Simone’s answer, God used that moment to check my heart — not hers.

Because the truth is, most of us aren’t choosing a trillion dollars…
We’re choosing distractions.
We’re choosing busyness.
We’re choosing affirmation, productivity, comfort — all the things that quietly pull our attention from the One we say is our everything.

This study is not about judging anyone else. It’s about examining the places in our own lives where we struggle to live like Jesus is truly enough.

If you’re ready for a gentle but honest heart check, to slow down and invite God to search you, and to realign your focus back to what matters most — this is for you, Bestie.
