Happy New Year and welcome to 2026. As we begin a new year, it’s the perfect time to pause, reflect, and realign with what actually matters. Today’s episode is a flashback to our first show of 2025, but the message is just as relevant now as it was then.

In this episode, we look back on the year that was and talk through meaningful goal setting along with the practice of choosing a word of the year. It’s a conversation about clarity, values, and setting goals that support the life you actually want to live.

If you’re entering 2026 focused on personal growth, professional progress, or simply finding more balance, this episode offers practical insight and thoughtful encouragement to help you start the year with intention and purpose. Let’s dive in.

As 2025 comes to a close, we’re taking a moment to look back at the conversations that really stuck with us this year. In this episode, we’re counting down our top five podcast moments of 2025 the episodes that sparked reflection, changed perspectives, and resonated most with you.

We kick things off with Episode 217, Why Quiet Wins Matter, a solo episode about noticing the small, often overlooked wins that actually move the needle in life and business. Sometimes the biggest growth happens quietly.

Next up is Episode 230, Building Clients, Not Just Followers, where we talk about shifting your focus from chasing numbers to building real relationships. It’s all about creating connection, trust, and a community that actually supports what you’re building.

We also revisit Episode 208, Mindset Reset, a conversation around abundance, daily practices, and how subtle mindset shifts can open doors you didn’t even know were there.

Episodes 199 and 200 make the list as well with our two-part series on content calendars for realtors. These episodes break down how to stay organized, aligned, and consistent without feeling overwhelmed by the pressure to always post.

And finally, we reflect on Episode 198, Unlock a Clutter-Free Life with Michelle Hoff. This conversation went far beyond physical clutter and touched on the emotional weight we all carry and how compassion can change the way we let things go.

As we head into 2026, this episode is both a thank you and an invitation to revisit some of the moments that made this year meaningful. Whether you’re looking for motivation, clarity, or just a reminder that you’re not alone in this, these episodes are a great place to start. Grab your coffee, take a breath, and let’s head into the new year together. Let's dive in!

Christmas has a way of getting loud and busy really fast. Somewhere in the middle of the plans, the lists, and the pressure, it can start to feel like you are already behind.

In this episode, we talk through our 12 Reminders of Christmas. They are not rules or takeaways, just things we need to hear this time of year. Things like letting go of perfect, remembering that your value is not tied to how much you get done, and giving yourself permission to rest.

We also talk about noticing the small wins, paying attention to who you are listening to, and remembering that the version of you from a few years ago would probably be proud of where you are now.

This episode is more of a pause than a pep talk. A chance to slow down, reset your perspective, and make a little room for joy in the middle of a busy season.

If you have been feeling stretched, tired, or overwhelmed, this conversation is for you. Let's dive in!

In this episode, we talk with Jen Grant about her powerful journey along the Camino de Santiago—a 500+ mile pilgrimage from Portugal to Spain that became a deeply personal experience.

Jen shares what inspired her to walk the Camino solo, how she prepared, and what it taught her about stepping outside her comfort zone. She reflects on the unexpected emotions she felt upon reaching Santiago and how the true meaning of the journey revealed itself through the moments, connections, and lessons along the way.

We also explore how those lessons—staying present, trusting the process, and following your own path—have carried into her everyday life, business, and relationships. This conversation is a reminder that the journey often matters more than the destination. Let's dive in!

In this episode, we sit down with Elly Cummings from New American Funding to break down what the mortgage world might look like in 2026. If you’re wondering where interest rates, home prices, and the market are headed, this conversation is for you.

Elly shares why a roughly 6% rate in 2026 isn’t the doom-and-gloom headline it’s made out to be and why focusing on affordability, not chasing the perfect rate, is what actually matters. We also get into inflation, the impact a new Fed chair could have, and which economic clues are worth paying attention to.

Thinking about buying instead of renting? Elly explains why waiting could mean paying more later, especially with prices still rising and spring competition heating up. We also talk through tools like temporary buy-downs and how they can help you lock in a payment that fits your life.

If you're planning to buy, refinance, or just want to feel more confident heading into 2026, this episode is full of practical insights you can actually use. Let's dive in!

As Thanksgiving approaches, Kristi and Beth slow things down for a special episode all about gratitude and the power of expressing thanks.

In a live, honest format, they share personal gratitude messages to three people who made a meaningful impact on their lives this year. It’s vulnerable, sincere, and a reminder of how important it is to actually say the things we often keep to ourselves.

This episode invites listeners to reflect on the people they’re grateful for and maybe reach out to someone who deserves to hear it. A warm, uplifting listen for the holiday season. Let’s dive in!

The holiday season is upon us, and this week, we’re breaking down how to crush your holiday client pop-bys without the overwhelm, overthinking, or last-minute scramble. The holidays are already packed, so why not make your client touches simple, meaningful, and genuinely enjoyable?

We are talking about what actually matters (hint: it’s not a perfectly curated gift basket). A thoughtful treat, a quick doorstep visit, and a warm, genuine “happy holidays!” go further than you think. And if your client list has grown? Even better! Bring the team, bring the kids, make it a little family caravan of cheer. It’s way more fun when you’re not doing it alone.

You’ll hear creative gift ideas, easy ways to make the experience memorable, and even why a snowy delivery day might be the best time to get out there (safely, of course).

At the end of the day, pop-bys aren’t about presents,  they’re about presence. These small moments of connection set the tone for big wins and big referrals in the year ahead.

So grab your Santa hat, queue up the holiday playlist, and join us as we dive into how to keep your pop-bys stress-free, heartfelt, and impactful this season.

As the year winds down, many entrepreneurs find themselves torn between wrapping up business and enjoying the holidays. This week, we explore how smart Q4 planning can help you do both, finishing strong while setting the stage for a powerful start to the new year.

We share three key strategies to keep your momentum going: mastering time management so you focus on what truly moves your business forward, nurturing client relationships through genuine connection and gratitude, and protecting your personal time by scheduling what matters most first.

If you’re ready to avoid the January scramble and make the most of the holiday season, this episode will help you stay focused, intentional, and ahead of the game. Let’s dive in!
