Love the realness!

I’ve known about Rita for a long time through my real estate brokerage but never had opportunity to hear her. I signed up and did her Energy of Money class and found out she has a podcast. Rita is so inspiring and episode 3 I really resonated with. She gives it straight with no chaser and I love it! I’m listening every morning while I get ready for my day.
