What would your life look like if you stopped defending your limitations and started designing your future? In this episode of The Raquel Show, I’m getting real about the subtle, sneaky ways excuses keep us stuck—and how to break free from them for good.

I’m sharing the mindset framework I’ve used with top entrepreneurs, real estate agents, and leaders to shift from “I’m not ready” to “I’m already there”. Because here’s the truth—your results will never outperform your identity, and every excuse you’re holding onto is just a brick in the wall between you and your next level.

Things I Cover in This Episode:

• Why your brain works overtime to prove your beliefs true (and how to change it)
• The “Identity Stack” questions that can completely transform your outcomes
• My 3 go-to tactics to stop the excuse cycle for good
• How to take one small action that will change your energy and results this week
• The truth about why vision boards alone won’t get you there

By the end of this episode, you’ll know exactly how to show up like the version of yourself who’s already made it—and you’ll have a challenge that could shift your momentum in just 7 days.

If you’re ready to stop negotiating with your excuses and start creating the future you’ve been dreaming about, hit follow so you never miss an episode. And if you want to go deeper, check out my playbooks at letsplaybigger.com.

You ever feel the flinch? That tightness in your chest… the nervous energy when you’re on the edge of doing something big? I’ve felt it too—and in this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what it really looks like to say yes before you're ready.

This isn't just another motivational chat. It's a truth bomb-filled conversation for the real estate agent, the entrepreneur, or the high-achiever who's tired of waiting for the "perfect" moment. Spoiler: it doesn’t exist.

In this episode, I get real about the fear I’ve faced (and still face), the risky yeses I’ve made—from scaling with zero blueprint, to investing in AI, to speaking in rooms that made me sweat—and why the flinch is actually proof that you’re growing.

🎯 Here’s What I Cover:

• Why clarity comes after the leap, not before
• 5 bold business moves that will stretch (and grow) you
• How to stop waiting for confidence and start acting with courage
• Tactical tips you can apply this week
• Journal prompts that might just spark your next breakthrough

If you've been feeling stuck or scared, this is your sign. Let’s stop waiting and start moving. The next version of you? She’s already on the other side of fear.

What if the people you choose to build with are the very reason you're stuck—or the secret to your next breakthrough?

In this episode, I’m getting personal. I share what 20 years of marriage have taught me about commitment, consistency, and the power of aligned partnerships—and how those exact lessons apply to building a business that lasts. Spoiler alert: it’s not the highlight reel that creates success, it’s how you handle the messy, unseen moments when no one is watching.

From navigating family drama on my anniversary (yes, that happened) to building multiple businesses while being a mom, wife, and coach—I’m pulling back the curtain on what it really takes to play the long game in both life and entrepreneurship.

💬 Things I cover in this episode:

• Why who you partner with shapes your ceiling
• The 4 lessons that apply to both lasting relationships and sustainable businesses
• The truth about supportive spouses in demanding industries
• The unsexy secret to long-term success (hint: it’s not just hustle)
• A 3-part challenge to help you audit, align, and protect what matters most

If you’re tired of chasing balance and want to build a business that supports your life—not consumes it—this episode is your starting point. Dive in, then check out letsplaybigger.com to learn more about how I help entrepreneurs create life-aligned success through Play Bigger Coaching.

This summer changed everything.

For years, I kept saying “one day I’ll spend my summers away from the Arizona heat”—dreaming of slow mornings by the beach while still running a thriving business.

Whether you're a mom, entrepreneur, coach, or agent navigating a pivot, this is how tactical planning meets spiritual alignment—and how clarity, energy, and environment can unlock your next level.

Things I Cover:
✔️ What actually activated my dream life
✔️ Tactical planning: reverse engineering vision to execution
✔️ The truth about hustle, burnout, and alignment
✔️ How to run a freedom-based business (even in real estate!)
✔️ Boundaries, batching, automation, and presence
✔️ The unexpected clarity from slowing down
✔️ Soul maps, birth charts & how environment fuels energy

I had the hotels booked, flights locked in, the team prepped, and the agenda ready to roll. Everything was in motion for three back-to-back events—and then, I got sick.

In this episode, I’m opening up about a hard leadership moment: the decision to postpone events I had poured months of energy into. It was uncomfortable. It was humbling. And it taught me one of the most powerful lessons I’ve learned in 20 years of business:

The plan is just the roadmap—the vision is the destination.
And when the plan no longer aligns, it’s time to pivot.

This episode is your permission slip to pivot without guilt, pause without shame, and protect your energy without apology.

💡 Things I Cover in This Episode:

• The difference between quitting and pivoting with integrity
• How to know when it’s time to shift gears
• A behind-the-scenes look at the hardest call I had to make as a leader
• My 3-question Pivot Framework for navigating change
• The mindset that helped me overcome fear of judgment or letting others down
• What to say when you need to communicate a pivot to your team or clients
• Why pivoting doesn't equal losing momentum—but creating long-term trust

Are you clinging to a plan that no longer feels aligned?
Take a bold step this week: Give yourself permission to pivot.

If you're ready to build a business that gives you the freedom to shift and evolve—without losing traction—I’d love to support you.

This episode is real, raw, and a little personal. I wasn’t planning to get sick, but life had other plans—and it reminded me of one powerful truth: if you can’t step away from your business without everything crumbling, you don’t have a business… you have a job.

I want to let you in on what happened when I hit a wall—physically and mentally. I had three back-to-back events, coaching calls lined up, team responsibilities, and I was also celebrating my 20th wedding anniversary. And just like that, my body said "Not today."

In this episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of what it really looks like to lead your business when you're not at 100%. I’ll walk you through how I navigated being completely out of commission and still kept things running—without the burnout or guilt.

💡 Things I Cover in This Episode:

• The truth about why most entrepreneurs burn out—and how to avoid it
• The 3 P’s of Leading from the Sidelines
• How to identify and delegate your Red Zone Tasks
• Why building your bench is non-negotiable (even for solo agents)
• My go-to automations and tools that kept the business moving
• Why rest is not retreat—it’s a growth strategy

I’m also dropping 5 tactical strategies that you can start using this week to future-proof your business and step into your true CEO role—even when you're forced to hit pause.

🚨 Ask yourself this: If you had to step away tomorrow, would your business keep running?

If this episode gave you a mindset shift or strategy you needed—don’t keep it to yourself.
👉 Share it with someone who’s in the hustle and might need the reminder that rest is a strategy.
📩 Or DM me on Instagram @itsraquelq 

 Let’s keep the conversation going—because you don’t have to do this alone.

This episode comes straight from a moment of clarity — as I was packing for our family’s beach house, something hit me. Not the house, not the milestone... but the decisions it took to get here.

Truth is, the life and business you’re dreaming of? It doesn’t just show up one day after you hit the “right” number or build the perfect team. It’s built long before you're ready, through bold moves and scary leaps.

In this episode, I’m sharing a conversation I wish someone had with me earlier — about what it really takes to build a business that supports your life, instead of running it. And I break it down in a way that’s simple, actionable, and real.

💭 Inside the episode, I dive into:

• Why the “I’ll do it when I’m ready” mindset keeps you stuck
• The exact 3-step Play Bigger Design Framework I use with my clients
• How to start thinking, acting, and deciding from the future version of you — today
• The key question every entrepreneur should be asking: Am I building for where I am… or where I’m going?

🎯 If you’ve been chasing freedom but feeling stuck in the hustle, this episode is for you.

If something in this episode speaks to you, take a screenshot, share it, and tag me @itsraquelq — I want to see what you’re building. And if you're ready to finally align your business with your dream lifestyle, DM me "ceoaudit." Let’s map it out together.

⏳ The future doesn’t belong to those who wait. It belongs to those who act like the person they want to become. Listen now and take one bold step toward the future you’ve been dreaming of.

Ever feel like you’re the best-kept secret in your market? You’re incredible at what you do — but not enough people know about you. In this episode of The Raquel Show, I’m breaking down why content is the new currency and how to build a visibility engine that markets you around the clock — without burning out or chasing trends.

I just got back from an epic event in Vegas, and let me tell you — if you're still sleeping on content and personal branding, you're already behind. But don’t worry — this episode will help you catch up and lead.

🔍 What I Cover in This Episode:

• Why your content isn’t about likes or algorithms anymore — it’s about trust
• How to turn your face & voice into a 24/7 marketing machine
• The 3-part Visibility Engine: Authority Content, Connection Content & Consistent Delivery
• A content batching system to save hours and boost your reach
• The secret to showing up smarter, not harder, online and offline
• The 3 content pillars that keep your audience engaged and your business growing
• Why consistent, imperfect content wins over perfection and silence

This isn’t about working more — it’s about showing up more strategically. Whether you're a realtor, entrepreneur, or content creator, this is the framework I teach my clients to get seen, get trusted, and get chosen.

 If this episode lit a fire in you, share it with a friend or teammate. Tag me on IG @itsraquelq and let me know your biggest takeaway! And if you’re ready to build your own visibility engine, DM me “ceocontent” to join us at CEO Content Day on July 23rd in Huntington Beach.

Let’s build businesses that support our lives — not ones that consume them.

🎧 Listen now, take notes, and let’s keep playing bigger together.

Ever feel like your business can't function without you? Like you are the engine keeping it alive? In this episode, I share the hard truth I had to face: if your business needs you 24/7, you don’t own a business — you own a job. And one with terrible hours.

So today, I'm walking you through four things you must do to build a business that runs without you — so you can finally step into the role of visionary instead of being the bottleneck.

🔍 Here’s what I break down:

1. Audit Your Role – Are you the CEO or just a very busy assistant? Learn how to identify what only you should be doing.
2. Systematize or Suffer – If it’s repeatable, it needs a system. I walk you through how to document, delegate, and automate.
3. Build a Thinking Team – Stop hiring for tasks. Start building a culture of ownership so your team solves problems without needing you.
4. Redesign Your Calendar – If your calendar is packed, you're not scaling. Learn how to create space to lead, think, and build.

If you stepped away for two weeks, would your business still run? Would your clients be served? Would revenue still come in?

If you're ready to build a business that gives you freedom — not just another job — DM me the words “ceoaudit” on Instagram @itsraquelq and let's design your CEO blueprint together.

What if the hustle that built your business is now the very thing holding you back?

In today’s episode of The Raquel Show, I’m getting real about the hidden truth behind scaling your real estate business (or any business): working 24/7 is not the goal. You didn’t build this life to miss family dinners, answer emails at midnight, or feel guilty every time you take a vacation.

After two decades of coaching hundreds of agents—solo agents, micro teams, and some of the biggest names in our industry—I've seen what works... and what keeps entrepreneurs stuck.

If you’re tired of chasing the next deal, managing chaos behind the scenes, or wondering why your business falls apart when you step away, this episode will show you a better way.

I'm breaking down my Agent CEO Method—a powerful 4-part framework designed to help you scale smarter, reclaim your freedom, and build a life you actually enjoy.

🔑 Things I Cover in This Episode:

• Why your business shouldn’t own you
• The common trap most agents fall into when scaling (and how to avoid it)
• How to build a business machine that runs when you're sleeping or on vacation
• Why your personal brand is your most powerful leverage tool in this market
• The mindset shift from hustler → leader → CEO
• How to align your business with the life you actually want

🚨 Ready to scale smarter, not harder?

DM me the words “AgentCEO” on Instagram @itsraquelq to get the details on my signature coaching program for high-performing agents ready to play bigger.
