In this special holiday episode I'm sitting down with three other amazing women to talk about breaking spells. That’s a fun way of saying it, but what we’re really talking about is patterns, learned behaviors, conditioning, and all sorts of things that, if not recognized fully, can prevent us from reaching our full potential and living our best lives. As real estate investors, it's quite possible that you might find yourself in need of breaking patterns around money, midlife, motherhood and perfectionism. Along with my guests Christy Livingston, Celeste DiDona, and Brigitt Tucker, we'll share what we've learned that might help you break some spells of your own. The top takeaways from today's show are:
1. Awareness is the first spellbreaker.
Before you can change your money story—or any pattern—you have to see it. This conversation reveals how many of our beliefs about wealth, worth, and success were inherited, not chosen.
You can’t shift what you can’t see, and once you do see it, the pattern starts to lose its power.
2. You can have both love and money.
You can reframe your understanding of abundance. In fact, love and wealth can coexist.
This truth speaks to every woman who’s dimmed her ambition out of fear that success would cost her connection. You can be wealthy, loved, grounded, and free—all at once.
3. Financial sovereignty is non-negotiable.
Generations of women were taught to depend rather than decide, to save rather than grow. Empowerment means owning your financial seat at the table.
When you understand that investing isn’t reserved for someone else, you stop waiting for permission and start building your own portfolio of power.
4. Ease is the new measure of success.
Bridget reframes what it means to “have it all.” Real success isn’t about holding everything together through exhaustion—it’s about designing systems that honor your wholeness.
This is a call for women to build wealth and lives that sustain them, not deplete them.
5. Model the new paradigm—for your family and your future.
Every choice you make around money, boundaries, and balance teaches the next generation what’s possible.
