This weekend was just a perfectly simple weekend, which reminded me that you 'can't control time'. I loved that we got things accomplished and also had a little fun. So much of life we try and fast forward, or wait for the perfect moment. But in all reality we a passing by the good stuff, the growth, the lessons, the time we may quite literally need before the thing we want. So cheers to the perfectly simple weekends!Follow Your Host:Insta:https://www.instagram.com/rumor_in_stpetersburg TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@rumor_in_stpetersburg FB Page: https://www.facebook.com/theluxuryofselfcare Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/user/ahnastasia88?si=ab36621742b4474cPhoto and Music Credit: Cover Art Photography by Tori Radick: https://www.instagram.com/toricophotography/Intro/Outro Music Produced by Ryan Blivhovde: https://www.instagram.com/ryanblihovde/

Habits often get the best of us. When habits and routines are intentional we see shifts and growth, other habits can hold us back. Life becomes mundane and tends to keep us out of touch with our consciousness all together.Active check-ins daily bring light to what we are actually doing in this beautiful life of ours. We are taking time to reflex, make new choices, take a moment of self care and so much more.Follow Your Host:Insta:https://www.instagram.com/rumor_in_stpetersburg TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@rumor_in_stpetersburg FB Page: https://www.facebook.com/theluxuryofselfcare Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/user/ahnastasia88?si=ab36621742b4474cPhoto and Music Credit: Cover Art Photography by Tori Radick: https://www.instagram.com/toricophotography/Intro/Outro Music Produced by Ryan Blivhovde: https://www.instagram.com/ryanblihovde/

This week, I'm getting real about the emotional aftermath from my birthday weekend blowup with my husband—and how we're learning to rewire our communication patterns. We've started to recognize how fear shows up in the form of frustration, and how yelling isn't always anger—it's often a cry for reassurance. We're shifting from blame to understanding, from control to compassion. This episode is all about learning how to motivate your partner instead of manipulate, and how mutual encouragement can shift the energy in your relationship. Plus: the couch saga that brought us closer instead of causing more conflict!Follow Your Host:Insta:https://www.instagram.com/rumor_in_stpetersburg TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@rumor_in_stpetersburg FB Page: https://www.facebook.com/theluxuryofselfcare Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/user/ahnastasia88?si=ab36621742b4474cPhoto and Music Credit: Cover Art Photography by Tori Radick: https://www.instagram.com/toricophotography/Intro/Outro Music Produced by Ryan Blivhovde: https://www.instagram.com/ryanblihovde/

What's the true value of working with a Realtor—not just a licensed agent? And how do behind-the-scenes advocacy efforts shape your neighborhood and your next real estate transaction?This week on the Exit Strategies Radio Show, host Corwyn J. Melette welcomes Nick Kremydas, CEO of South Carolina REALTORS®, for a wide-ranging and eye-opening conversation that gets to the heart of what it means to be a Realtor—and why it matters now more than ever. A Florence, South Carolina native, attorney by training, and longtime advocate for the industry, Nick has spent over 30 years serving as a trusted voice for more than 30,000 REALTOR® members across the state. Under his leadership, the association has become a powerful force for protecting property owners, raising professional standards, and advancing consumer education.In this episode, Nick shares why understanding the difference between a licensee and a REALTOR® is essential—not just for navigating the process, but for protecting your rights. He unpacks the importance of agency disclosure laws, breaks down recent legal developments like the regulation of wholesaling, and explains how REALTOR® associations advocate to preserve your ability to own, sell, and invest in real estate. You'll also learn why South Carolina has the lowest homeowner property taxes in the country, and how thoughtful local and statewide policy decisions shape everything from affordability to infrastructure.Whether you live in South Carolina or elsewhere, this discussion sheds light on the systems and safeguards that make your real estate experience secure, transparent, and aligned with your long-term goals.

Often we lean to the blame game. Or the mundane recycling of the phrase, "they don't do this, they don't do that". Why is it that we often look for the worst, or the thing to complain about, versus the things we love, the balance it creates, the joyful moments?As I pondered on this phrase myself, I realized theres many things I do enjoy, cherish and appreciate. Today I'm encouraging us all to take that step back and try and do the same. It's definitely more challenging than leaning towards the negative or the blame game. But it's a better outcome for everyone else in the end.

Melette welcomes Lima MacLean—real estate investor, author, speaker, and founder of the Elite Real Estate Investing Academy.

In this special anniversary episode, I reflect on three years of marriage — the lessons, the love, and the layers we've built along the way. From the symbolism of leather and what it means to endure, to the ways we've grown as individuals and partners, this is a deeply personal look at what it really takes to make it through.I open up about the joys and challenges we've faced, how we've continued to choose each other through change, and the rituals we're creating to celebrate love in a real, intentional way. Whether you're newly married or deep in the journey, this episode is a warm, honest invitation to pause and reflect on the relationships that shape us most.I also share a few gift ideas, reflection prompts, and plans for a special night with my husband — a reminder that love is built in the small, consistent moments just as much as the big ones.Follow Your Host:Insta:https://www.instagram.com/rumor_in_stpetersburg TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@rumor_in_stpetersburg FB Page: https://www.facebook.com/theluxuryofselfcare Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/user/ahnastasia88?si=ab36621742b4474cPhoto and Music Credit: Cover Art Photography by Tori Radick: https://www.instagram.com/toricophotography/Intro/Outro Music Produced by Ryan Blivhovde: https://www.instagram.com/ryanblihovde/

Inspiration is a powerful force — it lifts, it heals, and it ignites change. In this heartfelt episode, I reflect on the many ways inspiration has touched my life recently — from witnessing growth in my yoga communities, to encouraging young dancers while judging a recent competition, to sharing my own journey of healing and resilience through our fertility challenges. I'll explore how giving back, showing up, and sharing our stories can light a spark of hope in others — and how that ripple effect can create joy, strength, and transformation in ways we often don't even realize. Whether you're looking for a little motivation or a reminder of the impact you can have on others, this episode is here to fuel your spirit and remind you: when we give light, we help others shine too.Follow Your Host:Insta:https://www.instagram.com/rumor_in_stpetersburg TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@rumor_in_stpetersburg FB Page: https://www.facebook.com/theluxuryofselfcare Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/user/ahnastasia88?si=ab36621742b4474cPhoto and Music Credit: Cover Art Photography by Tori Radick: https://www.instagram.com/toricophotography/Intro/Outro Music Produced by Ryan Blivhovde: https://www.instagram.com/ryanblihovde/
