Own It! Take Control of Your Time & Money

We took a longer break than expected…

and like many moms, it was because life was full.

In this catch-up episode, Kelcie opens up about juggling two little ones under three, a corporate sales job with “great” maternity leave, and the moment she realized her entire paycheck was going straight to daycare. Working hard so someone else could watch her babies didn’t feel right anymore. So she made a change. Now, she’s replaced her corporate income through real estate and multiple streams of income starting with just $500.

During our time away, Kelcie also became an author. Our new e-book, Own It, was inspired by a YouTube short that went viral (almost)...

and the intense reactions it sparked around the real cost of childcare and motherhood. The book walks through the transformational steps she took to take back control of her time, her money, and her identity as a mom.

It’s real, honest, and written for women who know something has to change—but don’t know where to start. (Grab it for $17: See Link Above and Below!)

Inside this episode, we also share:
• How we built the 54321 Coaching Program to help women make real money in real estate without flipping houses or working 24/7
• Why off-market deals (especially pre-probate) are a powerful entry point—even for beginners
• Behind-the-scenes of our ForeclosuresDaily.com webinars and why Kelcie’s story resonated with new investors nationwide
• Life updates, family travel, health resets, and building a DIY playhouse for our grandbabies (yes, really)
• A reminder that taking a break doesn’t mean you’re behind—it means you’re rebuilding capacity to move forward with purpose

This season of Money Makin’ Mamas is all about transformation...

not hustle. Not perfection. Not overwhelm.
Just small steps that create big change for your family.

The idea of finding your first rental property can feel overwhelming — but the truth is, it doesn’t have to be complicated. In this episode, we break down how simple it can be to start your real estate investing journey when you have the right tools, the right process, and the right mindset.

You don’t need expensive software, insider connections, or years of experience to start looking for profitable single-family rental properties. In fact, much of the information you need is already at your fingertips. With just Google and a few easy-to-use tools, you can start researching neighborhoods, evaluating locations, and identifying properties that make sense for long-term rentals.

We talk specifically about:

How to use Google Maps, Google search, and public info to explore neighborhoods, schools, amenities, and rental demand.

Why location is everything — and how you can easily research strong locations for rental properties without needing a data science degree.

How tools like the Neighborhood Analyzer help you make smarter decisions by breaking down which areas are most likely to attract reliable tenants and steady cash flow.

This isn’t about getting buried in complicated spreadsheets or running endless calculations. It’s about knowing what to look for, and then following a simple, repeatable process to find rental properties that fit your goals.

Of course, having the right resources can make a huge difference. That’s exactly why we created the Investor Starter Pack — a complete set of tools designed to give you everything you need to confidently start looking for your first or next investment property. Inside, you’ll get:

Our 30-Day Blueprint to guide you step-by-step through your property search, with daily activities you can complete in just a few minutes.

Easy-to-follow checklists to help you stay organized.

Worksheets to evaluate potential properties.

Simple tools to keep you focused on progress, not perfection.

The most important thing?

Getting started.

So many people stay stuck because they believe real estate investing is too complex or too risky. But as we share in this episode, it’s not about doing everything at once — it’s about doing the right things, one step at a time.

You don't have to have all the answers on day one. You just need to take the first step, follow a proven plan, and use the tools available to you. This episode will show you how simple that first step really is.

If you’re ready to stop overthinking and start taking action, hit play — and don’t forget to grab your Investor Starter Pack, linked below, to get the tools and guidance you need to start finding your first rental property with confidence.

Every entrepreneur hits a point where things stop working — sales slow down, engagement dries up, and what used to work no longer moves the needle. In this episode, we dig into how to recognize when your business is in a slump and whether it’s time to pivot your strategy, your audience, or even your entire niche.

We talk about real signs that signal it’s time to shift — and how to do it intentionally, not reactively. You’ll learn how to:

Spot the warning signs of a business plateau or decline

Make confident pivots without scrapping everything you’ve built

Use free tools like SCORE, Google Analytics, and Microsoft Clarity to better understand your audience and their journey

Shift your marketing from general to niche (like moving from social media content to pre-probate lead generation for realtors)

Build a business that thrives on trust — not just trends

This isn’t about giving up — it’s about adjusting your approach so you can finally grow the way you know you’re capable of. Social media, AI, and data tools can support your goals — but they can’t replace clarity, passion, and the willingness to evolve when things aren’t working.

Whether you’re stuck in a sales slump, unsure of your next move, or afraid to make a change — this episode will give you the insight and encouragement to take action now.

Ever wonder why your biggest dreams sometimes feel like your loneliest journey?

In this heartfelt episode, we open up about the emotional side of entrepreneurship—the frustration, the self-doubt, and the sting of feeling unsupported by those closest to you. When friends don’t listen to your podcast or family scrolls past your social posts, it’s easy to feel invisible or misunderstood. But what if their silence isn’t rejection? What if it’s simply a reflection of their lens, not your worth?

That’s where Mel Robbins' concept of Let Them comes in—and it changed everything for us.

We also share an incredible, unexpected moment that reminded us to keep going. At just the right time, we met Cheryl “Action” Jackson, the powerhouse founder of Minnie’s Food Pantry. Her story—rooted in faith, perseverance, and turning pain into purpose—was exactly the message we needed. Cheryl's passion for giving back, her unshakable belief in herself, and her ability to rise above doubt reminded us that the entrepreneurial grind isn’t just about the hustle. It’s about impact. And that’s what makes it all worth it.

This episode is for every woman who’s felt alone, unheard, or tempted to quit. We talk about how to protect your energy, block out negativity, and surround yourself with a tribe of like-minded women who understand the vision—even if they’re not your relatives or childhood friends.

Because your dream isn’t too big. You’re not too much. And you don’t need to apologize for wanting more.

Are you willing to keep going, even when it feels like no one’s clapping?
