We’re back with another amazing guest who was raised to be tough, to push through, and to always have a plan until grief shattered the blueprint. After losing her older brother suddenly just after turning 18, and facing additional losses during college, she hit rock bottom with no roadmap for how to move forward. In this raw and powerful conversation, she shares how adversity forced her to rebuild from the inside out, why grief is the one experience that unites us all, and why avoiding it only makes it harder. We talk about the tools we need to face life’s hardest moments, the power of structure and community during crisis, and why real resilience begins with learning to be gentle with yourself.

We’re kicking off the Multifamily Streamlined podcast relaunch with a powerhouse guest who proves that authenticity isn’t soft, it’s strategic. A former corporate CEO turned authenticity aficionado (often called “The Mel Robbins for business”), she shares the moment her fear of staying became greater than her fear of leaving, how giving herself space to experiment changed everything, and why “leveling up” has nothing to do with traditional success metrics. We dig into her groundbreaking 50% Rule, self-determination theory, and how bringing your 50% is the key to motivation, momentum, and sustainable success at work and in life.

✨ The moment her fear of staying became greater than her fear of leaving
✨ Why clarity comes after action - not before
✨ Her 50% Rule and why your perspective matters more than following the playbook
