Have you ever told yourself you're “burnt out,” but deep down, you're not sure if that's the real issue? In this episode of The Raquel Show, I open up about one of the biggest traps entrepreneurs, agents, and leaders fall into: mistaking being uninspired for actual burnout.I've been there—hitting the goals, closing the deals, and yet still feeling flat and wondering, is this it? And what I've learned is this: when we confuse uninspired with burnout, we start making the wrong moves. We step away from opportunities, think something is “wrong” with us, or even consider burning our business to the ground… when really, what we need is a spark.

What separates a $100K agent from a $1M Agent CEO? Spoiler alert—it's not hustle, luck, or even talent.

I'll also give you the exact framework I use to build a CEO calendar that scales your business without sacrificing your life.Things I cover in this episode:Why your calendar tells the truth about your business (and your income)The #1 mistake agents make with their time that keeps them busy but brokeHow to design a CEO calendar that reflects your values and fuels growthThe 5 essential components of a high-performance calendarWhy discipline is proof that you actually believe in your visionIf you're tired of feeling busy but not productive, this is the episode you need to reset your rhythms, reclaim your time, and start leading like a CEO.DM me Agent CEO on Instagram @itsraquelq or head to letsplaybigger.com to join the PlayBigger coaching and Agent CEO Accelerator.

Have you ever said you're “anxious” or “burned out,” only to realize those words don't really capture what's happening inside you? The way we label our emotions shapes how we experience them — and when the language is off, so is our path to healing. In this episode, I'm joined by author, creator, and mindfulness expert Case Kenny to talk about how mindfulness becomes powerful and practical when it's rooted in language. Case shares how guided journaling and emotional vocabulary can help you move past vague “forest words” into precise truths that open the door to optimism, self-trust, and more authentic connections. We also dig into how so-called “negative” emotions — what I like to call dark emotions — aren't obstacles to avoid but important signals that can strengthen your growth and your relationships. Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Introduction to Intentional Living and Mindfulness 01:06 The Power of Emotional Vocabulary 06:01 Guided Journaling for Emotional Clarity 15:22 Rethinking Settling Down in Relationships 20:05 Emotional Priming and How Language Shapes Experience 23:04 Building Self-Trust and Emotional Resilience 33:02 Embracing Dark Emotions for Growth 35:16 Communication and Emotional Connection in Love If this conversation left you thinking, “I want to do this work in my own life,” I'd love to help. You can schedule a free consultation with me or a member of my team, and we'll match you with the right expert for your goals. Whether you're ready to deepen your self-awareness, work through old patterns, or create more authentic connections, we'll give you the guidance and resources to start moving forward with clarity and confidence. And let's keep the conversation going: join me on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube for weekly tools and encouragement. If this episode sparked a question or idea you'd love me to cover in the future, let's talk! Before we wrap up, I want to share something that's been such a great companion to the kind of mindful growth we talked about today. You know I'm all about finding practical ways to keep learning, but with a busy life it can be hard to carve out quiet hours with a book. That's why I've been loving the Headway app. It distills the big ideas from some of the best books into quick, actionable insights you can take with you right away. I've made it part of my own morning routine, and it's such an easy way to keep stretching your mind every day. And here's the best part — you can try it for yourself and save 25%.

This episode is all about shifting gears before the calendar flips. I'm pulling back the curtain on what most agents get wrong in the last four months of the year—and how the top producers play a completely different game. If you've ever thought, “I'll just start fresh in January,” this episode is going to challenge that mindset. Because here's the truth: your Q1 closings don't start in January—they start now.I break down the 4 non-negotiables of a winning lead gen plan that will help you finish strong and stack momentum for your best year yet. We'll talk about:Why 25 conversations a day is still the timeless formula for closingsHow to treat daily lead gen as a system (not wishful thinking)Database discipline—turning your CRM from a junk drawer into a gold mineWhy “CEO Mondays” can completely change how you lead your weekAnd I'll share the exact mindset shift that separates agents who stay stuck in hustle mode from CEOs who build machines that generate leads on autopilot.

Freedom in business doesn't come from stacking closings—it comes from changing how you run your business. In this episode of The Raquel Show, I dive into the real drivers of sustainable success: community and systems.I share why the biggest breakthroughs rarely happen alone, how the right room of peers can collapse time, and why systems are the true path to freedom. From lead generation and client experience to revenue routines and financial clarity, I break down how systems shift you from being stuck in the grind to stepping fully into your role as CEO.If you've ever thought, “Once I hit X deals, then I'll have freedom,” this episode will change the way you see your business.✨ Things I Cover in This Episode:Why freedom doesn't come after success—it's built along the wayThe multiplying effect of community and accountabilityThe systems every agent needs to finally reclaim their timeReal examples of agents who scaled without sacrificing lifestyleHow the Agent to CEO Accelerator is giving agents leverage now

Hey mamas, Today we're flipping the script on one of the most overused (and misunderstood) phrases out there: work-life balance. For years, we've been told to picture balance like a scale… work on one side, life on the other, perfectly even. But here's the problem: that image sets us up for guilt, burnout, and disappointment. Because your job should never weigh the same as your entire life. In this episode, I share a fresh perspective I use with my coaching clients: balancing stones. Instead of a scale, picture those beautiful stacks of rocks you see at the beach or on a hike. Each stone is a different size and shape… some massive, some tiny. And yet, when carefully placed, they create something stable and beautiful. That's what balance actually looks like. Not equal weight, but intentional placement. What You'll Learn in This Episode: ✨ Why the traditional idea of work-life balance doesn't work (and what to do instead) ✨ How to identify your personal “stones”… the roles and values that matter most in your life ✨ Which stones belong at the foundation of your stack (hint: it's not work or house chores) ✨ Why health and self-care aren't selfish extras but essential stabilizers ✨ The small, everyday stones that bring the biggest joy and stability ✨ Three practical ways to keep your “stack” from wobbling or crashing down Episode Highlights: The Foundation Stone: Why family, health, and core values should anchor your life. The Big Stones: Work, marriage, spirituality, passions, and house maintenance… and how to keep them in their proper place. The Small Stones: Why little moments (like a walk, coffee with a teen, or a bedtime story) often bring the most stability. 3 Tips for Balance: Rebuild regularly, check your base, and accept the wobble. My Challenge for You: Grab a notebook and write down your stones. Which ones are the biggest? Which is your foundation? Where do you need to restack? Because balance isn't about perfection… it's about intention. And when you choose your stones with care, you can build a life that's stable, beautiful, and uniquely yours.

Learning to live our lives with intention is a powerful way to begin to create the lives we truly want. And it is going to push the boundaries of your comfort zone when you step into intentionality.

In this episode of The Raquel Show, I'm diving into one of the most underrated yet powerful drivers of growth in business and life: relationships. You don't go to events just to get inspired—you go to get connected.

What if the most powerful leadership skill isn't about what you say, but how deeply you listen? Julian Treasure, five-time TED speaker and author of Sound Affects, returns to The Leadership Project with a bold warning: the world's listening is fading, and the consequences are enormous. Miscommunication costs organizations trillions, yet only 8% of employees believe their leaders are good listeners.Listening isn't just hearing — it's a conscious skill shaped by culture, experience, and belief. Treasure shares practical tools like the PAVE method (Paraphrase, Admit, Validate, Empathize) to help leaders bridge divides and create real understanding. In today's noisy world of constant alerts and distractions, the ability to listen with presence has never been more vital.True breakthroughs happen in two places: deep, mutual listening or in silence. For leaders who want to inspire trust, boost engagement, and deliver results, mastering conscious listening may be the highest-leverage skill of all. Are you ready to move beyond hearing to truly understanding?
