Summary
Are you an entrepreneur who looks like you're winning on paper but feels completely swallowed up by your business? In this episode of the No Regrets Blueprint Podcast, Mat Lewczenko sits down with Michelle Ternes, a powerhouse real estate broker, team leader, and coach, to talk about the reality of building a business without losing yourself in the process. Michelle shares her deeply personal story of surviving a devastating brain injury that forced her to leave a successful consulting career and rebuild her identity from the ground up. She opens up about the invisible struggles of trauma recovery, the transformative power of EMDR therapy, and how she rewired her internal narrative to stop self-sabotage and rebuild genuine confidence. Transitioning into real estate, Michelle quickly discovered that the traditional grind was costing her precious time with her family. She breaks down the steps to moving from a reactive solo agent to a proactive, scalable leader. From the game-changing impact of hiring a transaction coordinator to the counterintuitive freedom found in strict time blocking, Michelle delivers real, actionable advice for any high performer who wants to optimize their life and business at the same time.
