Above Asking is different. This is a perspective-driven show for the next-gen real estate agent who wants to build a brand that stands out by learning how to think, not just what to do. If you're showing up, posting consistently, doing all the things, but you're starting to wonder if any of this is actually going to work, you're in the right place. Everyone's giving you the what. Nobody's teaching you the how. So you're out here with no real strategy behind any of it, and it's way harder than it looked. That's exactly what I'm here to help you change. On Above Asking, I help you stop copying what everyone else is doing and start building a content and brand strategy you actually trust. One that attracts the right clients and feels like yours. We're talking about what's working right now, what's coming next, and how to build a business clients are drawn to without chasing every trend or burning yourself out trying to keep up.

In this episode, I’m opening up about the double life I was quietly living — still selling homes on paper while feeling pulled toward something bigger behind the scenes. I’m sharing the identity shift I didn’t talk about, the fear of letting go before I knew what was next, and the moment I finally hung up my lockbox for good. This is the real story of how I moved from transactions into strategy, why content and branding were the parts of the business that truly lit me up, and what I discovered on the other side of trusting that pull. If something has been feeling a little off or you’ve been craving a more aligned way to build your business, I want you to feel seen here. You’ll walk away feeling clearer, steadier, and more confident trusting your instincts and you might just recognize a piece of your own story in mine.
