Podcast appearances and mentions of lauren goch

In this episode, Lauren Goché, a Portland-based realtor and renovation expert, joins us to reshape how we think about homeownership, equity, and breaking out of survival mode. Drawing from her personal background of growing up poor and overcoming $65,000 in credit card debt, Lauren shares how she utilized her first home to completely shift her financial trajectory. She dives deep into the mind shift required to move from the anxiety of renting to leveraging "wise debt" like mortgages and home equity lines of credit (HELOCs). Lauren emphasizes why marginalized communities are systematically gatekept from these financial tools and how getting "house-ready" requires big-picture planning with the right team. From practical home maintenance tips to the genius bi-weekly mortgage payment strategy that shaves years off your loan, Lauren drops unfiltered truth bombs designed to turn a home into your ultimate financial nest egg.

I know we tell everyone to not talk about politics or religion for your business unless it is your business, but our guest Lauren Goché is joining us to talk about going "all-in" on your personal brand and talking passionately about the things you believe in.

This week’s word is ACERBIC - a full moon in Scorpio deserves a sharp tongue! Listen in for tips on having your own Full Moon Ritual. Also, Lauren Goché fangirls over Michelle Obama, talks about how she became a realtor, and discusses sexist perspectives on definitions and dictionaries. Warning: contains some explicit language!

Elisha welcomes back Lauren Goché (warning: f-bombs ahead), to chat about the difficulty of establishing boundaries...especially in an industry where there's an expectation of 24-7 availability. Discerning what's valuable to you and prioritizing your time - including blocking out hours for yourself - can help flex that muscle of boundary setting. This leads into America's obsession with being "busy," and how being busy to the point of collapse is glorified as success. Lauren likes to disappear off-grid once a year and Elisha ditches the phone at night: "I don't want to be the busiest person. I want to be the most productive, the most efficient, the most fulfilled." SWOON. Tune in, and learn how to be intentional about tuning out ... or you can just go with the girls' ultimate life hack: turn 40 and hit the road!

How do other women relate to you as a strong personality? Sometimes you're left to decide between turning your volume down...or a bestie break-up. Elisha gets introspective on how her survive and thrive methods allow you to foster solid relationships with women without changing who you are. She and her guest, fellow realtor Lauren Goché, also discuss their "funny girl" tendencies to turn traumatic events into entertaining stories as a coping mechanism.

Lauren Goché (@LaurenGoche) is a real estate broker, world traveler and self-described magnet for misadventure. She told her story at SuperThank's live storytelling event on July 21, 2015, when the theme of the night was "Against the Odds." The event took place at EastBurn in Portland, Oregon.
