Hey there, Rainmakers!

What if you could grow your business fast — and still be present for what matters most?

In this episode, I’m joined by Allison Larson, a rapidly rising branch manager and powerhouse coach who’s rewriting what success looks like in mortgage leadership. Allison shares how she’s scaled quickly, avoided burnout, and stayed centered — all by using a few key tools to track her week, stay aligned, and lead with intention.

She’s not just building a business — she’s building a life on her terms.

And if you’re joining us at Slay with Shay this September, you’ll get to hear even more from Allison live on stage.

💡 What we cover:

• How Allison used weekly planning and time-blocking to scale her growth
• The key tool she uses to track her week and stay aligned with her values
• Coaching with candor: how to give honest feedback with heart
• Balancing leadership and life as a high-performing woman
• Creating a team culture of accountability without control
• Why she said no to playing small — and how it changed everything

Allison’s story is packed with wisdom for any Rainmaker who’s growing fast and wants to stay grounded in what really matters.

👉 Be sure to share this episode with your team — especially the women who are ready to lead with more clarity, courage, and conviction.
