Advertise on podcast: Girl, Get Your Face Off A Bus Bench: Real Estate Marketing Only Better

We’ve been noticing something lately, content is trying to look better than ever, but a lot of it feels kind of the same, and looks too…polished and not human. In this episode, we dive into how the use of AI is making content sound generic and how easy it is to slip into it ourselves. With AI and all the tools out there, it’s simple to make things sound polished, but that doesn’t always mean it sounds like you. We get into where that line is, how you start to lose your voice without realizing it, and why it matters more than we think. Because the goal isn’t just to sound good, it’s to actually connect with your audience. If you’ve been creating and feel like something’s a little off, or not quite as natural as it used to be, this episode is for you. Let’s dive in!

We are coming back to a topic this week that has been a part of the show since the very beginning - manifesting abundance. We first talked about this 5 years ago, but we haven’t focused on it for a while. We felt like it was a good time to revisit the topic. When we are speaking about abundance we don’t just mean money, we mean abundance in time, in joy, in happiness.    We talk about how easy it is to slip into a scarcity mindset and how that can quietly affect everything from our relationships, our mood, the way we show up day to day. We share a few personal stories, including a moment where a simple shift in mindset completely changed an experience, and get into how the people around us can either reinforce scarcity or help us see things differently. It’s an honest conversation about what this looks like in real life, the small things that help like gratitude and awareness, and the ongoing work of choosing a different perspective. Let’s dive in!

You will hear this everywhere: scale. Build the team. Get bigger. Do more. But what if that isn’t actually what you want? This week we are taking a closer look at the pressure to grow, especially in real estate, and why bigger being better is a myth. We’re sharing our own experiences chasing that path, where it led us, and why we started questioning it in the first place. We talk about how you can build something that looks successful on the outside, but doesn’t actually feel good to run. The stress, the expectations, and the constant push for more can move you further away from the life you were trying to create in the first place. At the end of the day, this episode is really about taking a step back and asking yourself what you actually want your business and your life to look like. Not what the industry says, not what everyone else is doing, just you. If you’ve been feeling the pressure to grow but something about it doesn’t feel right, this one is for you. Let's dive in!        

Five years… we honestly can’t believe it. In this episode, we’re celebrating our 5-year podcast anniversary and reflecting on the journey and everything that shaped this show along the way. We started with an idea and a lot of excitement and the hope that the show would connect with someone. We’re looking back on some favorite moments, the unexpected lessons, and the growth that came with it. We’re also sharing what’s next. As we move forward, we want to go deeper, more honest conversations, more real-life experiences, and more of what actually matters. Thank you so much to all of our listeners for joining us on this journey. Whether you’ve been here since the beginning or just found us recently, we’re so glad you’re here. So grab a drink, a latte, or whatever you enjoy and celebrate 5 years with us. Let's dive in!  

What if your success didn’t have to look like everyone else’s? This week, Beth opens up about trying to run her business the way everyone said she needed to, how it left her feeling frustrated and out of alignment, and what it looked like to let go of those expectations and start doing things her own way. From there she dives into what it really means to build a brand around who you are, getting clear on your “why” and redefining what your ideal day looks like, Beth shares the mindset shifts and practical steps that helped her reconnect with her purpose. If you’ve been questioning your direction or craving more alignment in your business, this episode will give you the permission (and the push) to do it your way. Let's dive in!

Awards, accolades, and “top producer” lists are everywhere in industries like real estate, but what happens when your name isn’t on them? In this episode, we have an honest conversation about the emotional side of recognition, why feeling overlooked hurts, and why awards can sometimes feel more like a popularity contest than a true reflection of the work we do. From childhood memories of wanting to be picked to the modern pressure to be publicly validated, we unpack why recognition can feel so personal. We also challenge the idea that awards define success. Do clients actually care about awards, or do they care about how we show up for them? We talk about why real impact comes from authenticity, relationships, and serving people well and not chasing recognition. If you’ve ever felt the pressure to prove yourself or wondered if you’re “doing enough,” this episode is a reminder that your value goes far beyond an awards list. Let's dive in!

Running a business can feel like juggling ten jobs at once - accountant, bookkeeper, marketer, salesperson, and everything in between. At some point, the question becomes unavoidable: how long can you keep doing it all yourself? In this episode, we talk about the moment many entrepreneurs face when the workload becomes too much and hiring starts to feel less like a risk and more like a necessity. We share our own experiences with letting go of control, shifting from a scarcity mindset to an abundance mindset, and learning how the right hire can create space to focus on what actually grows the business. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed trying to do it all, this conversation might be the push you need to take the next step. Let's dive in!

We are mixing things up this week on the podcast and trying something we are calling The Unsaid. We are dropping the script and diving into a real conversation about staying human in business when everything feels transactional and disconnected.

We explore how to actually show up for clients, colleagues, and communities in a way that’s empathetic and authentic. Honest, practical, and a little raw, this episode is all about keeping the human side at the center of your work. Let's dive in!

In this episode, Beth breaks down what’s actually happening in real estate and what buyers should expect in the months ahead. She takes a close look at the Minnesota market, including rising inventory, increasing prices, and why a price correction doesn’t automatically mean a crash.

Estate planning is one of those things most of us know we should do but avoid anyway. In this episode, we sit down with trust and estate strategist Robin Ingber to break it down in a way that actually makes sense. We talk about the real differences between wills and trusts, why planning for incapacity matters just as much as planning for death, and how having a plan in place is really about protecting the people you love and making their lives easier. Robin keeps the conversation practical, relatable, and even a little funny while clearing up the myth that estate planning is only for the wealthy. If you have been putting this off or have no idea where to start, this episode is a great first step. Let's dive in!

This episode is a reminder that life is messy, plans evolve, and every change of direction is just another step toward becoming who you’re meant to be. If you’ve been feeling pulled toward something new, this one’s for you. Let's dive in!

It’s easy to get caught in the comparison trap, especially in real estate. Doom scrolling, watching what everyone else is doing, and quietly questioning your own path. This episode is a reminder that comparison only pulls you away from the work that actually matters. As we step into 2026, the focus shifts to intention over distraction. Instead of chasing every shiny idea or trend, the conversation centers on choosing one meaningful area of your business and showing up for it consistently. Small, focused actions create real momentum. There’s also a grounded look at social media noise and a powerful reminder that one of the few things you truly own in your business is your email list and how you use it to build trust and connection.
