Heartbreak comes in many forms.

Sometimes it's the pain of losing someone you love. Sometimes it's betrayal, disappointment, unanswered prayers, or the weight of life itself. And sometimes, if we're honest, we've broken our own hearts through the choices we've made.

So where is God in the middle of all of it?

In this Bible study, we're walking through one of my favorite promises in Scripture:

"The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit." (Psalm 34:18)

Together we'll look at the lives of Joseph, Naomi, Ruth, and the woman at the well to discover how God's presence, redemption, and restoration show up in the middle of heartbreak.

If you've been carrying grief, disappointment, betrayal, or simply feel weary, my prayer is that this study reminds you that your story isn't over. The same God who was near to them is still near to you.

His Word isn't just something we read.

It's living, active, and still changing lives today. This study explores how Psalm 34:18 comes to life through the stories of Joseph, Naomi, Ruth, and the woman at the well, showing God's faithfulness to the brokenhearted.

📖 Scriptures in this study:

• Psalm 34:18
• Genesis 37 & 39 (Joseph)
• Ruth 1 & 4 (Naomi & Ruth)
• John 4 (The Woman at the Well)

Can we be honest for a second?

You can be doing all the “right” things in your real estate business… and still feel overwhelmed, stretched, and low-key exhausted.

More leads. More systems. More strategy.
 And somehow… still not at peace.

That’s why this conversation hit different.

In this episode, I sat down with Kat West and we talked about what really shifts when you stop building your business your way… and start building it God’s way.

Not in a surface-level, “add a scripture to your caption” type of way…
 But in how you make decisions, how you structure your business, and how you show up every day.

Kat shares how she went from striving and trying to hold everything together… to serving, letting go of control, and creating a business that actually supports her life.

And what I love most is this:
 The strategy didn’t radically change… but her posture did.
 And that changed everything.

We talk about leverage, time, money, and what it really looks like to trust God as your provider—not just say it, but actually live it out.

If you’ve been feeling like “there has to be a better way to do this”… this is your episode.

What if your clients aren't saying "no"...

They're just hearing you the wrong way?

One of the biggest breakthroughs in my real estate career had nothing to do with lead generation, scripts, or social media. It came from learning how different personality types communicate and make decisions.

In this episode, I'm breaking down the four communication styles every real estate agent should recognize before walking into a buyer consultation, listing appointment, or negotiation.

You'll learn:

• Why some clients make decisions quickly while others need more time
• How to adjust your communication style for different personalities
• The biggest mistake agents make when talking to buyers and sellers
• Why it's not always what you say—but how you say it
• How understanding personality types can improve your confidence and your conversion rate

Whether you're a brand-new agent or you've been selling homes for years, learning how to communicate with different personalities will help you build stronger relationships, earn more trust, and close more deals.

Because every client is different... and the best agents know how to meet people where they are. This episode explores four common personality styles and how adapting your communication can transform conversations with buyers and sellers.

Want more referrals?

Most agents think they need more leads, more marketing, or more social media content.

But what if the real problem is the experience you're creating for the people who already know you?

In this episode, we're talking about one of the biggest missed opportunities in real estate: customer service.

From past clients you've lost touch with, to current clients who need better communication, to future clients who are watching how you show up every day, every interaction is shaping your reputation and your business.

You'll learn:

• Why past clients stop referring agents
• The simple follow-up habits that keep you top of mind
• How to create a better client experience
• Common communication mistakes that damage trust
• What future clients are paying attention to before they ever contact you

Because real estate isn't the house business.

It's the relationship business.

And the agents who consistently earn referrals aren't always the best marketers. They're often the ones who make people feel seen, valued, and cared for long after the transaction is over. Inspired by real customer service experiences that highlighted what businesses often get wrong, this episode challenges agents to think differently about every stage of the client journey.

If you want a business built on repeat clients, referrals, and genuine relationships, this episode is for you.

AI is one of the most powerful tools available to business owners right now.

It's also making a lot of real estate agents completely forgettable.

In this episode, we're talking about the AI pandemic happening across social media and why so many agents are accidentally blending into the noise instead of standing out.

The problem isn't AI itself. The problem is how we're using it.

When every flyer looks the same, every caption sounds the same, and every profile photo feels more artificial than authentic, we stop building the one thing that actually drives business: trust.

We'll talk about:

• Why AI-generated marketing is becoming white noise
• The danger of losing your authentic voice online
• Common AI mistakes real estate agents are making
• How to stand out in a sea of identical content
• What to do instead if you actually want clients to know, like, and trust you

Because at the end of the day, real estate is still a people business.

The agents who win won't be the ones using the most AI. They'll be the ones using it strategically while still showing up as real humans.

If you're ready to create content that actually connects, this episode is for you.

If you’ve ever prayed for something… but deep down weren’t sure it would actually happen, this Bible study is for you.

In this episode of the Real Estate Bestie Podcast, we’re walking through Luke chapter 1 and breaking down the difference between Zachariah’s doubt and Mary’s belief… and how that same tension shows up in our lives today.

Because let’s be real…
 It’s one thing to say you believe God.
It’s another thing to move like you believe Him.

Inside this Bible study, we talk about:
 • Why Zachariah got silenced (and what that reveals about doubt)
 • The difference between asking questions vs. not believing
 • What it actually means to be “blessed is she who believed”
 • How Mary demonstrated her faith through action
 • Why you need an “Elizabeth” in your life (and who you’re called to be for others)
 • How to stop borrowing faith and start knowing God for yourself

This isn’t just about scripture…
 This is about how your faith shows up in your business, your calling, and your everyday decisions.

Because faith without action?
 It’s just words.

✨ My prayer for you is that you become the woman in Luke 1:45…
 “Blessed is she who believed that the Lord would fulfill His promises to her.”

Nobody hands you a time management plan when you get your real estate license. But from day one, your broker, other agents, clients, and your own habits will pull at your hours. If you do not have a plan to protect your time, you will stay busy every single day and still wonder why your business is not growing.

In this video I'm breaking down how to run your schedule like a CEO: who is stealing your time without you realizing it, how to time block your week around what actually makes you money, and how to say no without burning a relationship.

This is Part 3 of my series: Things Nobody Tells You About Being a Realtor.

What I cover: Why busy is not the same as productive, the four main time thieves in a realtor's life, how to time block your week, the one-line script for saying no, and the faith perspective on stewarding your time well.

Every morning wasted standing in your closet is money left on the table. In this video I'm showing you how to build your realtor uniform, a simple style system that saves you time, builds your brand, and makes sure you always walk into every appointment looking like the professional you are.

This is the style advice nobody gives you when you get your real estate license.

What I cover: How to build realtor closet staples, using your wardrobe for brand awareness, what to wear to listing appointments and open houses, and why professionalism in your outfit builds client trust before you say a word.

If having real estate conversations makes you nervous… this episode is for you.

One of the biggest secrets successful agents don’t talk about enough is this: they practice. A LOT.

Because confidence doesn’t magically appear when you get on the phone, walk into a listing appointment, or start talking to a buyer who’s freaking out. Confidence gets built through repetition, coaching, and role play.

In this episode, you’re getting a behind-the-scenes listen into a real role play session inside our Six Figure Bestie membership. A few of our besties volunteered to practice live coaching scenarios so you can hear what strong conversations actually sound like—and how to improve in real time.

Inside this episode, we work through:

• Referral conversations
• First-time buyer objections
• How to calm overwhelmed clients
• Confidence in communication
• And how small tweaks in your wording can completely change the conversation

If you’ve ever thought:
👉 “I know what to say in my head, but freeze in real conversations”
👉 “I need more confidence with buyers and sellers”
👉 “I want more closings, but I avoid hard conversations”

…then this episode is going to help you.

And if you want to actually practice with us live, role play regularly, and grow alongside other faith-led women in real estate, come join us inside Six Figure Bestie! 🤍
