Tell us a little something about your business...
I am a Sales Representative with The Munir Group – Century 21 Professional Group. I have a passion for real estate and empowering women through the hard times in life. I have worked with various ladies throughout my career that have hit hard times. Whether its seperation, divorce, a job loss, finacnial struggles. I have assisted these women through the decision making of selling or purchasing a place they call home or once did. Its an emotional rollercoaster, and with my expertise, and past experiences I can help guide them through the emotions and help assist them by making confident strong decisions. They can move onto their next steps in life, and know they were supported and cared for.
When was your lightbulb moment?
After going through a rough 2 years of divorce and being independent from my ex husband, who still battles with alcoholism, I was struggling to find where I belonged in life again. I was trying to find my story, my way in life. I was on vacation in Los Cabos, Mexico, on a lounger, overlooking the ocean, reading a book called Girl Code by Cara Alwill Leyba. Its a book about female entreprenuers and how we need to lift oursleves up and network together, instead of against each other. A line in the book said something to the fact of… “stop being the victim”. For some reason, that day… It reasonated with me, and I’ve forged foreward since. I learned to take my past experiences and share and provide hope for others.
What are your three words of advice?
First off, “Self Care”. Start taking care of you. You deserve to be put first. When you allot time for yourself you can feel refreshed and well and perform at your best. You will discover a confidence about yourself and a self worth that is so gratifying. Second “Personal Growth”.
We need to live, experience the tough times, reflect on them and grow beyond that. Growth always comes from something hard. Thirdly, “Passion” Find something thats give you the passion to wake each morning, to become better, to inspire others, You are given one life, Make it a passionate one!
