    "We Are Not Broken" Allison Brown OBX Local And Life Coach Shares How To Handle Adversity And Thrive | #40
    Nov 7 2025
    Some conversations stay with you, and this one will. Allison Brown has a calm, grounded way of talking about things most of us struggle to face including loss, change, and learning to trust ourselves again. She's a life coach, mentor, and spiritual guide, as well as a wife, mom of three, and active member of the Outer Banks community. With a background in psychology from UNC Chapel Hill and advanced training in Jungian life coaching, she combines psychology, spirituality, and neuroscience to help people live into wholeness after hardship. After the sudden passing of her mother, Allison began asking the bigger questions: Who am I? What really matters? How do you keep going when life falls apart? Those questions led her to a new chapter focused on helping others heal through self-awareness and compassion. She shares the practices that helped her like journaling, long beach walks, and learning that "you're not broken, you're just human." Together we talk about what it means to live with awareness, to lead with compassion, and to keep showing up as yourself no matter what's happened before. It's one of those conversations that reminds you how strong people can be, and how healing often starts right where you are.

    There's something about the Outer Banks that stays with you. It's not just the beaches or the slower pace, it's the feeling that people here are building something meaningful. They work hard, raise families, and find ways to stay close to the coast no matter what life brings. Sarah Spencer has done all of that and more. She's managed to grow a thriving career while staying grounded in the place she loves most.

    Sarah is a longtime real estate broker, business owner, and community leader who's spent nearly thirty years helping shape the local market. She built Keller Williams OBX, now home to about 80 agents, into one of the area's largest and most respected brokerages. What really stands out is how she leads with a focus on people, teamwork, and doing things the right way. Her approach to culture, training, and shared success has made her business a reflection of her values, not just her accomplishments.

    We dive into how it all started from waiting tables in college, falling in love with the Outer Banks, and finding her path in real estate. She shares what she's learned along the way, what she wishes she'd done sooner, and how she keeps her priorities straight when life gets busy. It's an honest, grounded look at what it means to build a business, raise a family, and stay connected to what matters most.

    Why Locals Don't Fear Hurricanes | #38
    Oct 16 2025

    When hurricane season hits the Outer Banks, the question isn't if—it's how you'll handle it. Today, Randy pulls back the curtain on what really happens when a major storm threatens coastal life. Forget the TV panic—Randy shares the real rhythms, risks, and resilience of a community that's weathered decades of hurricanes.

    Hear firsthand what it's like to prepare (and sometimes stay put) through roaring winds, flying debris, and unpredictable tides. Learn how locals decide whether to evacuate, what they do to protect their homes, and why new homeowners may be dangerously underprepared.

    Key Takeaways:

    • The truth behind hurricane hype vs. reality
    • How locals actually prepare—and why some never board up
    • Lessons in risk, resilience, and community after the storm

    Whether you're a coastal dweller, storm chaser, or just fascinated by the grit it takes to live by the sea, this episode will leave you with a deep respect for those who call the Outer Banks home.
