    • 18: How to Prepare your Home or Listing for A Real Estate Shoot
      In this episode I am talking all about how to prepare your house or listing for a Real Estate Shoot. I absolutely love what I do and in this episode I am telling you all my top tips on making sure your house is photo ready. Photos are an important part of the sale of your home. Professional Photography can really help attract new buyers and make sure your home looks its best. This is something that really should be left to a professional, you do not want photos of your realtor’s reflection in your photos. Professional Photographers knows what angles of a room to shoot from and how to make your house or listing stand out. In this episode I go room to room telling you what are some of the things you should add or take out in order for your space to look its absolute best! I know a lot of the things I talk about can seem extreme but if you are asking me for my opinion …here it is!

                • 12: Creativity and Finding your Personal Project

                  This week’s episode is all about Creativity.

                  I wanted to get your wheels turning this week. In this episode I share my personal project and the process I took to help realize what was important to me.

                  As a kid what did you say you wanted to be when you grew up?

                  • Teacher?
                  • Doctor?
                  • Actor?
                  • Maybe you were a kid who didn’t have a typical answer:

                    • A Waitress ?
                    • Ticket booth collector?
                    • Flight Attendant ?
                    • Food tester?
                    • Remember a time in your life when you were proud of yourself. (what about that experience made you proud)

                      This is just a fun exercise to help you figure out what makes you happy.

                      My Favorite Books on Creativity:

                      Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert

                      The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron
