Welcome to Aligned & Unhinged. Three of us, no script, and the conversations we actually have after the meeting ends.
Episode 9. We pick up after our Oregon retreat to talk about what actually happens when you come home with your mask off, from Amber trying Reiki for the first time for a blocked throat chakra to Jamie taking her eighty eight year old grandma on an unplanned road trip through Utah, Vegas, and Arizona and pulling over on the side of the highway to file a brand new LLC. Then the conversation goes completely off the rails into reading the Bible for the first time as an adult, Drunk History, Claudette Colvin refusing to give up her bus seat before Rosa Parks, Oprah on Mel Robbins, and the multi unit Arizona estate deal with foil on the windows that Jamie just locked under contract.

Episode 8. We take you back to our spiritual healing retreat in Oregon for the story we almost didn't share on the mic, from high performers learning to get out of their heads and trust their bodies to the question our facilitator asked Jamie that froze the whole room.

Aligned & Unhinged
Two things are true at the same time: real estate will teach you more about yourself than most retreats ever will, and no spreadsheet has ever once told…
Aligned and Unhinged lives in the space between those two facts.
Rachel Vaida, Amber Bess, and Jamie Flanagan met the way a lot of people meet in this industry, through deals, numbers, and rooms full of people talking about cash flow. What nobody planned on was the friendship that came out of it. Since then they've built businesses, traveled together, done the deep spiritual work together, and had a lot of the kind of conversations that usually only happen after midnight when everyone's finally stopped performing.
This is that conversation, recorded.
Every episode moves between the two halves of a life most people keep carefully separated. The business half: investing, negotiating, risk, partnerships, building something that outlasts you, and the very specific stress of having real money on the line. The other half: intuition, alignment, timing, energy, and the quiet knowing that shows up about three weeks before the numbers confirm it.
Three women who take both halves seriously,and take themselves a lot less seriously than that.
There's no guru energy here. Nobody's on a mountaintop. You'll hear the wins, but you'll also hear the deals that went sideways, the decisions made on a feeling, the moments of doubt nobody posts about, and at least one story that gets interrupted by all three of them laughing.
If you've ever felt like you have to choose, be the practical one or be the woo one, run the numbers or trust the gut, be grounded or be a little unhinged, this show is the permission slip. You don't. You never did. The most interesting people are always both.
Come for the real estate. Stay because somebody finally said the thing out loud.
Aligned when we can be. Unhinged when it's funnier. Honest either way.
