I used to think working harder was the answer.In the early days of my real estate career, hustle did help—until it didn't. I was stuck on the hamster wheel: sacrificing weekends, missing family moments, riding the commission roller coaster, and feeling like my “business” was really just a demanding job I couldn't step away from.In this first episode of my brand-new 6-part series, The Agent CEO System: Build Your Empire, Live Your Legacy, I'm pulling back the curtain on:Why so many agents get stuck and the three biggest traps holding them backHow to recognize the commission roller coaster before it drains youThe truth about hustle addiction (and why it's disguised burnout)What “no leverage” really costs you—not just in business, but in lifeSmall but powerful action steps you can take this week to start breaking freeIf you've ever thought, “I got into real estate for the freedom, but I'm working more hours than ever,” this episode is for you. I'm showing you how to start creating a business that works for you—even when you're not working—so you can finally step into the lifestyle and legacy you've been dreaming about.

You're already becoming someone. The only question is—are you choosing who? This episode helps you spot the drift, own your story, and start leading your life with identity-level clarity.If you're a high performer, founder, or leader, it's easy to assume you're in charge of your life. But today's episode asks a deeper question: Are you actually leading who you're becoming — or are you just drifting into someone you never meant to be?This isn't about productivity or even purpose. It's about identity. Because every small decision, every autopilot habit, every unspoken story is shaping who you are becoming.And if you don't name what's quietly leading your life, you'll wake up one day living someone else's version of you — instead of the one you were meant for.Inside this episode:Why drifting doesn't feel like danger — but often isHow unchecked habits and unresolved stories direct your identityWhat Tom Bilyeu's pivot from tech exec to transformational founder teaches us about leading on purposeThe key insight from Dan Allender on how early stories shape your becomingJulie's personal story of recalibrating from image to integration

Just because it worked doesn't mean it still fits. This episode helps high-capacity humans shift from autopilot living to intentional alignment — one decision at a time.You didn't come this far to live someone else's version of success.But if you've been operating on autopilot — following expectations instead of alignment — you might be stuck in default mode without even realizing it.In this episode of Identity-Level Recalibration, Julie Holly guides high-capacity humans through one of the most liberating shifts you can make:From default to design.You'll learn how to:Spot the subtle signs of unexamined decisionsReconnect with the version of you that's quietly evolvingLead a life that reflects who you are, not who you used to beFeaturing:A client recalibration story that began with a single pauseThe intentional rise of Joanna Gaines and Magnolia as an identity-led brandPowerful insights on how your nervous system defaults to the familiar — even when it's no longer true

  In this episode of Tales from The Lane, Kate takes a candid look at a growing trend: using self-care and boundaries as default reasons to opt out of opportunities, connection, and growth. While the movement to prevent burnout was born out of necessity—helping leaders, parents, and professionals stretched impossibly thin—somewhere along the way, it became a lifestyle brand. And now, more and more early-career professionals are declining every extra task, gig, or invitation in the name of “protecting their peace,” only to find themselves feeling disconnected and unfulfilled. Kate explores: Why self-care and boundaries matter (and where the movement started) How the pendulum has swung too far in the opposite direction How saying yes (even when it feels inconvenient) can build skills, networks, and community What the most fulfilled, high-achieving people do differently If you've been wondering how to balance protecting your time with showing up fully for your life and your community, this conversation will help you reframe what it means to be both intentional and engaged.

In this episode, 216. Being Who You Want to Be, I'm diving into one of the most powerful tools I've used with missionaries, mission leaders, parents, and RMs over the past six years—learning to take aligned action. What does that mean? It means checking in with your thoughts and feelings before making decisions or having hard conversations, and making sure they reflect the kind of person you actually want to be. We explore how to lead with love instead of pressure, act with compassion instead of fear, and find confidence in your choices—even when others don't understand them. Whether you're a missionary navigating companion issues, a parent trying to support your kid, or a returned missionary figuring out your next steps, this episode will help you build emotional self-trust and clarity. I'll also share some real-life examples, including how I apply this with my own kids and in my business, and we'll reflect on a beautiful lyric from The Secret Garden that reminds us: the person you're meant to be is already inside you. This is your reminder that you can be intentional. You can be YOU. And when your thoughts and emotions align with your values, you'll show up with peace, purpose, and power.

If you've ever been curious about creating your own product, or you simply love hearing the story behind a brand, this episode is for you.

What if the people you choose to build with are the very reason you're stuck—or the secret to your next breakthrough?In this episode, I'm getting personal. I share what 20 years of marriage have taught me about commitment, consistency, and the power of aligned partnerships—and how those exact lessons apply to building a business that lasts. Spoiler alert: it's not the highlight reel that creates success, it's how you handle the messy, unseen moments when no one is watching.From navigating family drama on my anniversary (yes, that happened) to building multiple businesses while being a mom, wife, and coach—I'm pulling back the curtain on what it really takes to play the long game in both life and entrepreneurship.

What if the life you're living isn't broken… is it just unintentional? In this soul-stirring solo episode of Harder Than Life, Kelly Siegel flips the script on success and breaks down the truth behind burnout, unhappiness, and what it really takes to feel fulfilled. Through raw personal stories from staring in the mirror during lockdown to building the Harder Than Life brand, Kelly reveals how intentional living became the secret weapon that transformed his life from disconnected hustler to a man at peace, on purpose, and happier than life. This isn't about hustle culture. It's about alignment. It's about daily choices. And it's about you becoming the person you were born to be on purpose, with power, and with heart. ⚡ “Stop drifting. Start designing your life with intention.” In This Episode, You'll Learn:

This summer changed everything.For years, I kept saying “one day I'll spend my summers away from the Arizona heat”—dreaming of slow mornings by the beach while still running a thriving business. That "one day" finally became this year. In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of how I turned a long-time vision into my actual life—and the exact framework I used to make it happen.I open up about the emotional shifts, bold decisions, and systems I had to build to make my beachside business dream real. If you've ever held a dream close to your heart but haven't made the move yet—this episode is your sign.Whether you're a mom, entrepreneur, coach, or agent navigating a pivot, this is how tactical planning meets spiritual alignment—and how clarity, energy, and environment can unlock your next level.Things I Cover: ✔️ What actually activated my dream life ✔️ Tactical planning: reverse engineering vision to execution ✔️ The truth about hustle, burnout, and alignment ✔️ How to run a freedom-based business (even in real estate!) ✔️ Boundaries, batching, automation, and presence ✔️ The unexpected clarity from slowing down ✔️ Soul maps, birth charts & how environment fuels energy ✔️ A sneak peek at my next program (hint: it's for you if you're ready to live more, not just work more) 

"I think one of the biggest things to convey to anybody who wants to start a business is know what you're good at, know what you like, and know what you're not good at, and then outsource that. Because that's going to help get the business to where you wanna go." —Arielle Moody   Ever wonder if you're settling for “good enough” when you could be living—and choosing—so much better? If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the choices you make for your body, your business, or your family, this episode is your permission slip to trust your gut, question the status quo, and demand more from what you put on your skin and into your life. Arielle Moody, a seasoned beauty industry expert and co-founder of Mama Sol, turned her personal quest for safe, effective products into a thriving business that puts wellness and integrity first. Her journey from industry insider to innovative entrepreneur brings a fresh, no-nonsense perspective on why what's inside—both products and people—matters most. Hit play for a candid look at how intentional living, ingredient transparency, self-belief, and values-driven choices shape everything from entrepreneurship and family business to work-life balance, clinical testing, and creating wellness products that truly multitask.   Meet Arielle: While pregnant with her first child, shocked by how many toxic ingredients were lurking in everyday products, and after trying dozens of natural mineral sunscreens, Arielle was determined to create one that 1) didn't make her immediately want to wash her face, and 2) didn't leave a white cast on her skin. Oh, and it needed to be something she looked forward to using daily. No biggie. As Mama Sol's product development whisperer, Arielle has been immersed in the beauty industry her entire adult life. Starting as a beauty sales trainer for Smashbox, Dr. Perricone, and Bite Beauty, then rising to become the head of product development for Skinn Cosmetics and, most recently, the head of sales for a leading cosmetics packaging and formulation company, she's always known one thing—that she would one day create her own product, something truly different that had never been seen before.

This episode is real, raw, and a little personal.

I'll walk you through how I navigated being completely out of commission and still kept things running—without the burnout or guilt.

Do you want to be a better communicator? The answer doesn't start with fancy scripts or speaking tricks—it starts inside your own mind.In this episode, I'm joined by communication expert and author Mario Wissa to discuss what it really means to be a healthy communicator. Together, we explore how awareness, authenticity, and self-talk shape your relationships, your career, and your entire life.

Did you know that women's clitoral orgasms have the power to completely transform the world and turn it into a blissful nirvana free from pain and suffering? They don't, but, that's essentially what OneTaste founder Nicole Daedone preached at one point before she went to jail. For years, she put on clinics based around male attendees stroking female attendees clitorises in a very specific way designed to completely transform them...and the world around them. Does that make sense? It shouldn't.
