Kelley Bergendahl is a realtor in Colorado Springs with The Hoben Group.  In July of 2022, she relocated to "The Springs" with her husband, Evan, where they took on adventure and started an entirely new path in their lives. Listen in to hear their story as Kelley explains what it was like going through the death of her best friend (spoiler alert: her Gram), transitioning from a divorce to reconnecting with and marrying the love of her life, moving to a new city and entering into a whole new career!  Kelley is a dear friend, a kind soul, and a positive influence in the lives of so many.  After I listened to the episode again I was left with wanting to ask more questions and dig further into what makes relationships so important to Kelley. I could use all the advice I can get...

Also...we're joined by my bestfriend, my lovely wife!
