Building a Business While Raising a Family: My Real Life Juggle

People often ask me, “How do you do it all?”
The truth? I don’t always have it all together, but I’ve learned how to give my best to what matters most: my clients, my family, and my purpose.


REALTOR® by Day, Mom Always

Building a business while raising kids isn’t glamorous, but it’s real, and that’s what makes it beautiful. Between showing homes, answering late-night texts, and prepping contracts, I’m also managing school runs, dinner duty, and laundry piles that seem to multiply overnight.

Some days run smoothly.
Some days run late.
But every day, I remind myself why I do this.

I’m building something for my family, but I’m also showing them what’s possible when you go after something with heart and hustle.


Why I Love What I Do

Helping people find the right home isn’t just my job, it’s personal. I know what it’s like to want more space for your kids to grow. I understand the need for a great school district and a supportive neighborhood. I know how it feels to want a fresh start or a forever place.

That’s why I show up with more than just MLS links.
I show up with empathy, patience, and strategy.
Because behind every home search is a story, and I’m here to help you write yours.


What I’ve Learned (So Far)

  1. Boundaries Matter – I’ve learned to give my all when I’m on and give myself grace when I’m off.

  2. Systems Help – From meal prepping to appointment setting, structure gives me sanity.

  3. Support is Everything – I don’t do this alone, and I don’t pretend to. My family, my clients, and my community lift me up more than they know.


Why I’m Sharing This

I don’t share to brag (because trust me, I’ve had messy days and microwave dinners too).
I share because I want you to know: you’re not alone. Whether you’re juggling kids, careers, or just trying to keep it together, I see you.

And if you're thinking about buying, selling, or relocating while managing life’s chaos? I’ve got you. I walk that same path daily, and I’ll walk it with you, every step of the way.
