Her First House

"Growth requires you letting go of something you have now to move towards something bigger. And sometimes that feels like failure, but truly, it's not."​

Join me for an inspiring conversation with Alexia Hoffman, a real estate broker, investor, and founder of the Mom Boss Central podcast. Alexia opens up about her journey from earning her real estate license at 19 to managing a portfolio of over 60 tenants and expanding into commercial properties—all while raising three young children, including a set of twins!

We dive into the challenges of balancing motherhood with business ownership, how she navigates societal expectations, and the key mindset shifts that have helped her grow in multiple areas of life. Whether you’re a working mom, an aspiring entrepreneur, or simply curious about the intersections of family and business, Alexia’s story is sure to resonate.
