  • 277. Darling, You Can Do Hard Things: 5 Hacks for Smarter Decisions
    Jun 23 2025

    When it comes to building an empire—whether that’s in business or in life—there’s no escaping hard decisions. We’ve all stood at the crossroads, wrestling with big choices that feel daunting, lonely, or even paralyzing. But here’s the truth: hard things don’t have to stop us. In this episode, we’re sharing five life-changing hacks that have helped us move forward with confidence and clarity, even when the path wasn’t clear.


    We dive into why getting crystal clear on your core values is the ultimate decision-making filter, and how embracing the 80% rule can break the grip of perfectionism and help you take action—even when everything isn’t perfect. We talk about the importance of knowing your inner circle (and not letting too many voices crowd your judgment), how to use the “future you” test to make choices that serve your long-term vision, and why the simplest framework—decide, act, evaluate—can move you from stuck to unstoppable.


    We know what it’s like to feel pulled in a million directions, to want to do it all, and to struggle with saying no. But we’ve learned that building something big means getting comfortable with messy progress, giving ourselves permission to course-correct, and always circling back to what matters most. If you’re facing a hard decision (or just want to get better at making them), this one’s for you. Darlings, you can do hard things—and we’re right here with you.

  • 276. Navigating a Slower Market (Part 2): The Truth About Price Adjustments
    Jun 16 2025

    When the market slows down, price is king. In this episode, we’re getting honest about what it takes to navigate a slower market—and why you can’t out-market a bad price. We’re sharing hard-earned lessons from our own experiences, including the conversations that still stick with us, and the data-driven steps we use to guide clients through price adjustments.


    We walk through exactly how we handle these conversations with compassion, the pitfalls of “paper cut” price reductions, and why the right move is often a bigger, faster adjustment. If your listings are sitting or your sellers are uncertain, this episode is your roadmap for taking action—and building trust, one honest conversation at a time.


    Remember: Big businesses are built in the details, and big lives are built when we lean into tough moments. If this episode helps you, please share it—we love hearing how you’re building your empire.
