    410: Slow Down to Speed Up with Jaemi Pierson

    What if the thing holding you back in your business isn't your marketing, your systems, or your lead generation strategy? What if it's your nervous system? In this powerful conversation, Karen sits down with mindset and business coach Jaemi Pierson to talk about why so many ambitious women are operating in a constant state of urgency, overwhelm, and reactivity—and how it's impacting both their businesses and their lives. Together, they explore the connection between nervous system regulation, decision-making, burnout, comparison, boundaries, and sustainable success. Jamie shares why investing in yourself may be the most important business investment you can make and offers practical strategies to create more calm, focus, and clarity in your day. If you've ever felt exhausted by the constant pressure to do more, be more, or keep up, this conversation is for you. In this episode, we discuss: • Why your nervous system is one of your greatest business assets • The difference between being reactive and being regulated • How comparison pulls you out of your own success • Why boundaries create better businesses and stronger client relationships • The hidden cost of constant accessibility and phone addiction • How to create more white space, clarity, and focus in your day • Building a business that feels as good as it looks This episode is a reminder that sustainable success doesn't come from doing more. It comes from learning how to lead yourself first.   You can learn more about Jaemi and connect with her on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/jaemi.pierson/     Click subscribe to be notified every Wednesday when our latest episode is released, and be sure to check out our group on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/groups/empoweringwomeninrealestate We are 41,000 members strong and we want you to join us!

    409: Systems, Support & Success for Dual Career Agents with Christina Mesones

    In this episode of Empowering Women in Real Estate® - The Podcast, I'm joined by Christina Mesones for a conversation about dual career agents and the support they need to succeed. Christina shares her journey from more than 20 years in the title industry to becoming a real estate agent, mentor, and resource for agents who are building their business while also balancing another career. We talk about the stigma dual career agents often face, why "part-time agent" doesn't tell the whole story, and how systems, support, mentorship, and community can make all the difference. If you are a dual career agent, or you've ever felt like you were trying to build your business with limited time and limited support, this episode is for you.   You can register for the next Dual-Career Collective Monthly Pop In Mastermind on June 23rd at 11 am EST here: https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/60PsNSVKSgWNXvSHfl8etQ   You can connect with Christina on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/christinamesones_realtor/     Click subscribe to be notified every Wednesday when our latest episode is released, and be sure to check out our group on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/groups/empoweringwomeninrealestate We are 41,000 members strong and we want you to join us!

    408: What I Thought Success Would Mean at 53

    On this episode of Empowering Women in Real Estate® - The Podcast, I'm sharing a very personal reflection as I approach my 53rd birthday. For a long time, I thought success at this stage of life would mean having it all figured out. More confidence. Less pressure. More freedom. More certainty. But what I've learned is that success in midlife often looks very different than what we imagined in our 20s and 30s. In this episode, I'm talking about:   burnout and recovery the pressure of social media and constant industry noise achievement vs. fulfillment sustainability in business and life health, boundaries, and authenticity evolving instead of holding on creating freedom intentionally learning to stop trying to please everyone and what success actually means to me now at 53   This is an honest conversation about midlife, growth, and building a business and life that feel as good on the inside as they look on the outside.

    407: Summer Marketing Strategies

    Summer can bring a shift in routines, priorities and energy — both for you and your clients. In this episode, Karen shares practical, creative and relationship-focused marketing ideas to help you stay visible and consistent during the summer months without sacrificing your quality of life. From summer pop-bys and local events to newsletters, postcards, vendor partnerships and back-to-school marketing ideas, this episode is packed with simple strategies you can implement right away. Karen also shares her philosophy on avoiding the "summer shutdown" that often leads to burnout and inconsistent business cycles — and why a slow, steady drip of marketing matters more than going all in and disappearing completely.

    405: Permission to Dream

    When was the last time you gave yourself permission to dream? In this episode, Karen shares a heartfelt reflection on the "crazy ideas" that shaped her career — from getting into real estate after being laid off, to starting a team, building Empowering Women in Real Estate®, and expanding nationally across 22 states. Inspired by a recent conversation about the future of the real estate industry, this episode is a reminder that some of the best things in life and business begin as ideas that make no sense … until one day, they do. If you've been feeling stuck in the monotony of the to-do list, overwhelmed by the day-to-day, or disconnected from what excites you, this conversation will encourage you to pause, reflect, and dream again.

    404: Everyday Open Houses - The Simple Strategy That Doubled Our Listings with Lisa Archer

    What if an open house wasn't just a weekend activity, but part of your daily business-building system? In this episode, I'm joined by Lisa Archer, a 21+ year realtor and team leader serving multiple markets across the Carolinas and beyond. Lisa shares the simple, consistent open house strategy her team uses to generate listings, attract buyers, create neighborhood visibility, and build serious momentum. Last year alone, her team tracked 347 open houses, with 32 listings selling to buyers who came through those open houses. We talk about how she makes daily open houses work, why "there's no such thing as a bad open house," and how agents can use this strategy even if they don't currently have listings of their own. If you've been looking for a simple, practical way to create more opportunity in your business, this episode is for you.     Click subscribe to be notified every Wednesday when our latest episode is released, and be sure to check out our group on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/groups/empoweringwomeninrealestate We are 40,000 members strong and we want you to join us!

    403: Community Building - Your Local Impact Plan

    What if one of the most powerful ways to grow your real estate business was already all around you? In this episode, I'm sharing one of the most impactful strategies I've used over the past 20+ years—focusing deeply on my local community. Not in a complicated or overly strategic way, but by simply leaning into what I was already doing and going a little deeper. From schools and sports to local businesses, social media, and everyday routines, I walk you through how to turn your daily life into meaningful visibility, connection, and long-term business growth—without adding more to your plate. This isn't about doing more. It's about doing what you're already doing with more intention. This conversation is also the focus of our May Empowering Women in Real Estate® Monthly Meet Ups happening in cities across the country—casual, in-person gatherings where women in real estate connect and talk through this exact topic.  Want to join us? • Find an in-person Monthly Meet Up near you at EmpoweringWomenInRealEstate.com • Or join me for our Virtual Meet Up on May 7th at 1 PM EST (free on Zoom): https://bit.ly/vmuregistration If you've been feeling like you need a better plan, a new strategy, or something different … this might just be your reminder that the answer is closer than you think.     Click subscribe to be notified every Wednesday when our latest episode is released, and be sure to check out our group on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/groups/empoweringwomeninrealestate We are 40,000 members strong and we want you to join us!
