Change isn’t always easy — especially when it’s personal, emotional, and tied to something you’ve built from the ground up. In this week’s episode of the Simply Authentic Podcast, hosts Tonya and Angie open up about major transitions they’ve each faced in recent months and the unexpected ways their paths intertwined.
After 13 years of leading Southwest Missouri Realty, Tonya made the emotional decision to close the doors and merge with Murney Associates. She shares candidly what led to that decision, the wave of emotions that followed, how her team responded, and what she’ll miss most about being a broker-owner — along with what she’s most excited for next.
Meanwhile, Angie found herself navigating an unexpected change when her office building sold and the new owner wanted to occupy her space. But as fate (and faith) would have it, the timing couldn’t have been more perfect — Tonya’s transition created a new home for Century 21 Integrity Group. A true win-win and a reminder that sometimes change unfolds exactly as it’s meant to.
Together, Tonya and Angie dive into the realities of change and transition — from choosing it to having it thrust upon you. They discuss how to:
- Recognize when it’s time for change
- Process the emotions that come with big transitions
- Find the silver linings, even when change isn’t your choice
- Move forward with authenticity, courage, and faith
Whether you’re a business owner, entrepreneur, or leader, this conversation offers both perspective and encouragement. Because when one chapter ends, another always begins — and often in ways you never expected.
