Episode 45 – Interview with Jasmyn Jefferson on Around the Block
In this episode, Rita is interviewed on the Around the Block podcast by Jasmine Jefferson, former president of Tacoma Pierce County Association of Realtors. Recorded after Rita's keynote workshop, this candid conversation dives deep into mindset, success in real estate, emotional healing, and showing up authentically—especially for women in male-dominated industries.
Top 5 Takeaways:
- Mindset Creates Your Reality—Good or Bad.
Your beliefs become thoughts, your thoughts become actions. Whether you're building a million-dollar business or burning it down, it all starts in the mind. - Give Yourself 24 Hours, Then Shift.
Feel the disappointment, the fear, the funk—then choose to move forward. Staying stuck is just familiar, not safe. - Success Without Inner Peace Will Still Break You.
Rita’s story of making—and losing—a million proves that mindset and emotional healing matter more than money. - Authenticity Over Approval.
Strong women will always trigger someone. Your job isn’t to fit in—it’s to be aligned and unapologetically you. - Real Transformation Blends Science & Soul.
From somatic breathwork to nervous system regulation to rewiring limiting beliefs, this isn’t woo—it’s how real change happens.
