## Resource

Have you ever felt a deep nudge to change your life, but had no idea what the path ahead would look like, and stepped forward anyway? Most people wait for a perfect plan; Christina Tracy is proof that you only need the courage to take the first imperfect step. In this episode, we’re tracing her journey from a handshake deal on an off-market property in Ohio to building a multi-market portfolio across Florida and Charlotte, all while navigating the messy reality of flipping houses with a toddler in tow. We talk about: How Christina jumped into real estate with zero experience, relying on grit and YouTube tutorials to build her first successful portfolio. How Christina’s background in public health turned her into a "data nerd" who uses tools like PriceLabs to master pricing and performance. A candid conversation on rebuilding trust, reconnecting with God, and finding peace after seasons of grief and "hustle culture." The healing power of quiet time, prayer, and meditation as tools for hearing your own voice, and God’s, again. Shifting from "controlling tasks" to "empowering outcomes" and how inner growth changes the way you hire and lead a team. Christina pulls back the curtain on what it means to lead a values-driven, people-first business while protecting your own energy. You’ll hear why intentionality is the ultimate secret to scaling, and how a deep spiritual foundation provides the peace required to navigate the growing pains of entrepreneurship. If you’ve been sensing that there is a different, more peaceful way to build your empire, this conversation will speak straight to your heart. Get ready to stop surviving the grind and start leading with purpose. HIGHLIGHTS AND KEY POINTS: [00:59] A short introduction about our guest Christina Tracy, the owner of STR Host…
