Most people believe that buying or selling a home is a market-driven decision. In reality, it’s usually a life decision disguised as a transaction.

In Part 2 of Vibe Your Vibe with Liz Dawes, she breaks down what she actually hears when someone says, “I need a realtor,” and why slowing the process down often leads to better outcomes than chasing timing or headlines.

This conversation explores preparation, emotional clarity, life transitions, and why the best decisions are made when fear isn’t driving the process.

If you’re thinking about buying, selling, relocating, or simply trying to make a big decision with more intention, this episode will shift how you think about the process.

Why do so many people miss real estate opportunities even when the market conditions seem favorable?

In this episode of Vibe Your Vibe, Kirk Francis sits down with Liz Dawes, a Florida real estate strategist with over 30 years of experience, to explore why preparation matters more than timing and how decision-making, emotion, and lifestyle play a bigger role than most people realize.

This conversation goes beyond headlines and short-term market predictions. Together, they unpack how people often wait for permission from the market, why emotional attachment clouds judgment, and how being prepared creates clarity, especially in fast-moving markets like Fort Lauderdale and South Florida.

They also dive into real estate psychology, market cycles, estate planning, avoiding probate, Florida property considerations, and the hidden costs of waiting too long to act. Whether you are buying, selling, relocating to Florida, or thinking about long-term lifestyle decisions, this episode offers an evergreen framework for making smarter choices before pressure forces your hand.

Some moments don’t ask to be fixed. They ask you to be present.

In this episode of Vibe Your Vibe, I sit down with Donnalynn Riley, a joyologist, emotional energy strategist, and executive coach, to explore what happens when life changes faster than you can control it.

We talk about grief, massive transitions, leadership, and the instinct we all have to immediately ask “what’s next” instead of staying with what’s actually happening.

Donnalynn shares how presence, emotional awareness, and learning to access joy from within can change the way we move through loss, uncertainty, business decisions, and everyday life.

This conversation is about:

• Why some things can’t be fixed

• How presence creates clarity

• Why emotions are information, not instructions

• How neutral becomes your most powerful place

If you’re navigating change, personally or professionally, this one will stay with you.

What happens when a nonprofit doesn’t just talk about affordable housing but actually builds homes while training the next generation of construction workers?

In this episode of Vibe Your Vibe, Kirk sits down with Steve Speer, a Construction Project Manager with East Missouri Action Agency.

We’re recording inside a home Steve is building mid-construction, which makes this conversation extra real: trades, timelines, funding, and what it takes to keep a program running in the real world.

Steve breaks down what East Missouri Action Agency does across eight counties in Southeast Missouri, including support programs like Section 8 housing assistance, Head Start, utility and energy assistance, weatherization, senior services, and more, plus how their workforce program, New Foundations, trains workers while building affordable homes.

We also get into the practical side of building: construction loans, interest rates, inspections, hiring skilled vs. unskilled labor, benefits in construction work, and why crawlspace vs. slab plumbing can change everything.

If you care about community building, workforce development, trades, or housing, this one is worth your time.
