What is a challenge you have overcome personally or professionally?
A significant challenge I've conquered is understanding that not everyone is prepared for the next level of growth, personally or professionally. It was tough to acknowledge that some people may only be present in my life temporarily. Learning to love people from a distance while focusing on what's best for me and my family was a crucial lesson. Accepting that not everyone desires to witness my success was difficult, but it allowed me to set boundaries and prioritize my well-being and aspirations. Overcoming this obstacle has empowered me to surround myself with those who genuinely support and uplift me, fostering a more positive and fulfilling journey in both my personal and professional life.
What is most important to you right now?
Right now, my top priority is starting a family and preparing to become the best mother to my daughter, who is due in November. My heart is filled with a desire to teach her kindness and shower her with abundant love. Simultaneously, I am passionately focused on building my real estate business, driven by a deep commitment to help as many families as possible reach their real estate goals. Embracing motherhood and nurturing my business goals go hand in hand, as I aspire to create a bright and secure future for my family while making a positive impact on others' lives through my work.
What does a typical day look like for you?
Each morning begins with affirmations and gratitude, followed by a refreshing stretch, setting a positive tone for the day. Whether I'm showing houses or working diligently at the office to grow my business, productivity is a priority. As the day winds down, I make sure to devote quality time to my loved ones, sharing special moments together. Later, I take a peaceful evening walk to relax and reflect. Before bedtime, I make sure to engage in some form of self-care, nurturing my well-being and preparing myself for a peaceful night's sleep. This routine of gratitude, hard work, and self-care forms the foundation of my fulfilling days.
Who is someone you admire?
I admire my mom wholeheartedly for her unwavering dedication and selflessness. She made countless sacrifices to raise my brother and I as a young single parent, putting our needs above her own. Despite the challenges, she remained determined to achieve her goals and provide for our family. Her caring nature, boundless love, and unwavering support have been a constant source of inspiration in my life. Her resilience and ability to find joy in the midst of difficulties make her one of the most admirable people I have ever known. She instilled in me a strong work ethic, which has become one of my greatest assets. Her presence in my life has shaped me into the person I am today, and I am forever grateful for her love and guidance.
