This week, I am interviewing my realtor, Ashley Schultz. Ashley and I talk about my home buying journey while I ask her questions related to all things real estate!

Ashley is a full-time realtor in Pittsburgh who believes that working with clients is much more than buying or selling a house. She thrives on running an organized business and building lasting client relationships through her candid yet empathetic approach. Outside of work, Ashley is a wife and mom of two kiddos and is a lover of coffee, craft beer, ranch sunflower seeds, and emo music.

My home-buying experience was quite the journey! Many problems and unexpected twists made me often question whether or not I was ever meant to have a place of my own. Two years later, I finally got the keys to my place. Walking through the door, it hit me - I did it. The struggles and setbacks that happened were all worth it. This house, now mine, symbolizes hard work and not giving in.

The concept of a "new you" or personal transformation doesn't have to be tied to a specific date or event, like the start of a new year. Change and growth are ongoing processes that can happen at any time.

Setting goals, reflecting on your values, and making small, consistent efforts toward personal development can be done at any point in the year. The key is to focus on continuous improvement and be open to learning and adapting.

If you feel inspired to make positive changes, don't wait for a specific moment or date—start whenever you feel ready. Small, sustainable steps can lead to significant transformations over time.

Are you someone who chooses a word or words each year? I was not the person until I was just recently having dinner with a friend! The more I thought about the idea, the more I got behind it! In the upcoming year, choosing a single word can shape your experiences, guide your decisions, and redefine your narrative. There's no better time than now to unlock the potential for growth, purpose, and positive change in the months ahead.

It's time to begin believing in yourself because you're much more capable than you realize. Take each day as a chance to do what you have dreamt of achieving and no longer live your life with regrets. Remember, you're meant for BIG things, so stop settling for anything less than you deserve! You are made for more!

Being okay with walking away is an important part of dealing with life's ups and downs. Whether it's walking away from what you thought would be your dream first home, a job, or a relationship, there are times when we just have to let go. Life doesn't always go as planned, and we learn valuable lessons. Recognizing when it's time to walk away shows our ability to adapt and grow. It's not a sign of weakness but a brave acknowledgment that new opportunities are ahead. Embracing change and the unknown can be empowering, reminding us that our journey is a continuous process of learning and evolving.
