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.

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.

Welcome to a very special live edition of the Women Authors of Achievement Podcast, hosted for the first time in UK, right here at the Amano Hotel Skybar in London, overlooking Covent Garden. My guest today is Nikki Trott, strategist, podcast host and author of her new book Sacred Business. Her story bridges two worlds: the ambitious drive of London's fashion and branding industry, and the expansive, intuitive energy she discovered in Berlin.Nikki started out leading global fashion and lifestyle campaigns, working with big names across London and New York. But at some point, success as she knew it started to feel off. Thats when she made a radical choice, she left it all behind to follow a different kind of calling.In this conversation, we talk about what it means to walk away from conventional success, how Berlin helped her reconnect with her intuition, and why business can, and should, be an expression of who we are at our core.If you're in a moment of transition or simply craving more purpose in your work, hear this episode!Read more about the Women Authors of Achievement (WAA) Podcast via waa.berlin/aboutFollow us on Instagram & find us on LinkedInSubscribe to our newsletter via waa.berlin/newsletter ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

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. The rooms you step into, the people you meet, and the relationships you nurture can literally become the bridge to your next level.I share five powerful lessons I've learned about why relationships matter in business and why events should be a non-negotiable part of your growth plan. From stories of betrayal and unexpected apologies to the game-changing connections that opened doors to new opportunities, I reveal why proximity is power—and how to choose the right rooms that collapse time and fuel your future.✨ Things I Cover in This Episode:Why business is ultimately a people game—not just systems, leads, or toolsHow events can accelerate your success faster than months of doing it aloneWhy proximity is power and who you build with matters mostHow to reframe events as investments, not expensesTactical steps to maximize the connections you make at events

Believing in yourself doesn't always come easily—especially when your past is full of evidence that makes you doubt what's possible. In this episode we're talking about a subtle but powerful shift: moving from “Do I believe in myself today?” to “Can I believe in my potential?” Through stories, reflections, and even lessons from her son's swim journey, I'm sharing how to unlock a new way of thinking about growth, setbacks, and success.

What does choosing joy really mean when you’re living through pain, pressure, or exhaustion? In this deeply personal solo episode, Choosing Joy host Deborah Joy Winans Williams sits down—not as an actress or celebrity, but as herself—to answer your questions, share her heart, and reflect on what joy looks like when it’s uncomfortable, spiritual, and hard-won. Deborah opens up about motherhood, mental health, faith, grief, self-worth, and how she learned (and is still learning) to choose joy daily—not just on stage, but in real life. From the lessons of her Winans family legacy to her girls' trip epiphany with Merle Dandridge to the quiet prayers that sustain her, this episode is a soulful, grounding invitation to go deeper. Whether you’re a woman of faith, an artist in progress, a mother in motion, or just someone trying to pour from a not-so-full cup—Deborah’s raw honesty and wisdom remind us that joy isn’t a mood... it’s a decision.

What happens when a woman, already stretched thin by life's demands, gets sick? Too often, she's left to navigate a maze of doctors, insurance companies, and well-meaning advice, alone. But as women's wellness advocate Rebecca Bloom reminds us, we shouldn't have to. In this powerful conversation, Rebecca shares her journey from corporate law to women's health advocacy, inspired by her mother's breast cancer diagnosis. For nearly 30 years, she has guided women through the overwhelming realities of the healthcare system, offering them clarity, strategy, and most importantly, support. Together, Nicola and Rebecca dive into the practical and emotional tools every woman should know when facing a health challenge: Why appointing a personal “Chief of Staff” can be a game-changer for managing care. The importance of reaching out to HR, case managers, and providers before problems arise. How to choose insurance the smart way — starting with your doctors, not the price tag. Why you should never “panic pay” medical bills (and how to catch common errors). How to set boundaries with others and protect your energy during recovery. Finding balance between evidence-based medicine and complementary holistic care. Rebecca's legal expertise and advocacy work shine through as she gives women the confidence to ask for help, take control of their healthcare decisions, and reject the outdated idea that illness must be endured in silence. If you or someone you love is navigating illness, this episode is a must-listen. You'll walk away with tools to advocate for yourself, protect your energy, and build a strong support system around you — because healing should never be a solo journey.

This episode of Perimenopause: Head to Toe features Dr. Sameena Rahman, an OB-GYN and specialist in sexual medicine and menopause. She is also the founder of the GYN and Sexual Medicine CollectiveDr. Rahman highlights that women in their mid-40s often experience confusing bodily changes. Symptoms include: Menstrual Changes: Unpredictable periods, with some becoming heavier or stopping for months. Physical & Emotional Symptoms: Intimate dryness, reduced libido, sleep issues, hot flashes, brain fog, and irritability.Systemic Issues in Women's HealthcareThe conversation addresses challenges within the medical system. A Patriarchal System: The doctors agree that the healthcare system is historically patriarchal, resulting in a lack of research and understanding of women's health. Medical Training Gap: The doctors note that medical school training often overlooks the significant emotional and cognitive effects of perimenopause, focusing instead on hot flashes and irregular periods. The "Double Whammy": They point out that because the OB-GYN field is largely female, there's an unspoken expectation to manage all aspects of women's health with limited resources, leading to provider burnout and inadequate patient care.Cultural Differences and BiasDr. Rahman, who is South Asian, discusses unique challenges for women of color. Earlier Onset: Women of color, including Black and South Asian women, often experience perimenopause and menopause earlier. This is linked to allostatic load, the cumulative "wear and tear" from chronic stress. Stigma: Cultural factors like stoicism and taboos around sex lead to a reluctance to seek medical help. Health Disparities: The episode notes higher rates of heart disease and diabetes in the South Asian population.About Dr. Rahman's Practice and BookDr. Sameena Rahman is a board-certified OB/GYN, sex-med gynecologist, menopause specialist and a clinical assistant professor of OB/GYN at the Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine. She is the founder of the Gyn & Sexual Medicine Collective, a successful concierge practice that emphasizes evidence-based medicine and an affiliate of Ms. Medicine. Dr. Rahman is dedicated to evaluating and treating each patient with compassion, trauma-informed care, and an awareness of personal bias. Additionally, she hosts the podcast Gyno Girl Presents: Sex, Drugs & Hormones.Her upcoming book, "Brown Girls Disease? A Guide to Sexual Health and Empowerment Through a South Asian Lens," explores sexual health issues from a unique cultural and religious perspective.

If your business only works when you do, then you don't own a business—you own a job. And let's be honest, that's not why you got into real estate or entrepreneurship. In this episode of The Raquel Show, I'm pulling back the curtain on one of the biggest traps that keeps agents stuck: operating with no leverage.I share the exact framework I teach my private clients to move from being the bottleneck in their business to creating freedom, growth, and peace of mind through systems, people, and technology. You'll hear the story of how I went from being terrified to take a vacation because everything depended on me… to building a business that runs without me micromanaging every single detail.✨ Things I Cover in This Episode:Why systematizing before delegating is the secret to scaling without stressThe 3 types of leverage every Agent CEO needs (people, systems, and tech)The most common mistakes agents make when hiring (and how to avoid them)Practical steps you can take this week to reclaim hours of your timeTools I personally use to document, delegate, and automateBy the end of this episode, you'll know exactly how to put leverage in place so you can grow faster, take time off without worrying, and finally step into the CEO role your business needs.

It's no secret that there are people in a tall woman's life who can make her insecure, and this can be either growing up, in their adult life, or both stages.And I think I did a few episodes regarding each group or some of these groups of people. We have our peers, especially growing up, whether it's our classmates, teammates, or “friends” calling us those weird, annoying names and asking dumb questions like “How's the weather up there?” We also have the adults like teachers, coaches, or even strangers making assumptions about us or staring at us because of our height. Then, we have family members, the ones who are supposed to always have our backs but pick us apart and make horrible self-comparisons. And then we have men. And not just any random dude. According to a tall girly on TikTok, this is a specific category of men. And before you come for me, I'm NOT HATING ON MEN. I understand that this is not representative of all of them (even the ones in the category). I'm simply providing commentary.

I used to think hustle was the secret to success. In real estate, wearing exhaustion like a badge of honor felt normal—four hours of sleep, 24/7 client calls, endless to-do lists. Hustle made me look successful, but behind the scenes, I was burnt out, reactive, and the bottleneck of my own business.In this episode of The Raquel Show, I'm breaking down Trap #2 of the Agent CEO System: Hustle Addiction—the belief that the only way to grow is to work harder, longer, and do everything yourself. Spoiler alert: it's costing you time, money, and freedom.By the end of this episode, you'll know exactly how to break free from hustle mode and step into true CEO leadership—working smarter, not harder.✨ Here's what I cover in this episode:How to spot if you're stuck in hustle addictionThe hidden ways hustle is capping your income (and burning you out)Shift #1: How to identify your true CEO work vs. maintenance modeShift #2: The boundaries that actually make clients respect your timeShift #3: Building your 3-point leverage plan (people, systems, tech)A client case study: how she cut 40 hours a week while growing income by 40%Imagine ending your day with only three priorities instead of 37—and knowing your systems, VA, and tech are working for you while you're at your kid's game.

Perfectionism can be a super-skill… until it quietly becomes the very thing holding you back.

Have you ever had your best month ever in real estate—only to follow it with a month of zero closings? I've been there, and it's not a bad-month problem…it's a pipeline problem. In this episode of The Raquel Show, I'm unpacking Trap #1 of the Agent CEO System: the commission roller coaster—and showing you exactly how to get off it for good.You'll discover why working harder isn't the solution, how to pinpoint the lead sources that actually move the needle, and the simple systems that create consistent, predictable income month after month.✨ Inside this episode, I cover:The real reason agents stay stuck in boom-and-bust monthsThe power of choosing one primary lead engineHow automation saves deals you don't even know you're losingMy 60-minutes-a-day rule that keeps your pipeline fullWhat shifts when you start thinking like a CEO, not just an agentThis isn't about more hustle.

Do any other tall girls remember almost always being paired up or grouped with the boys during gym class?  Let me get into this story. So I was in the 9th or 10th grade, I think? We have different units where we do a different activity for a few weeks, then move on to the next activity for a few weeks, and so forth and so on. So at one point in time, it was the basketball unit. I'm sure you know where I'm going with this… There were 3 levels: level 1, level 2, and level 3. Level 1 being for the beginners and level 3 being for advanced players. Now, the gym teacher did know that I played (past tense played) basketball about 2 or 3 years prior. Mind you, there were other girls on the basketball team in that gym class, but I was the only girl placed in the level 3 group…with all of the boys :///Whatever, we were playing, and I'm on defense. This dude…I guess he was turning around, and he literally elbowed me in my face. And proceeds to keep playing like nothing happened. So naturally, I yelped and literally stood on the sideline, deleted. I heard the teacher screaming, “Why were you so aggressive? You wouldn't do that to a girl, would you?” And the guy was like “no”. And the teacher was like, “Why would you do that? She's a girl!” And the guy was like, “Oh, I forgot. She'll be fine.” YOU FORGOT? I'LL BE FINE?? Anyways…. Albeit this was a small and hopefully unintentional thing, this is just one example of rough, aggressive behaviors that some people have toward tall women, and we're gonna dive deeper into that today, so tune into the episode for more! Buy Me A Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/atallgirlspodcast Subscribe to A Tall Girl's Newsletter: https://atallgirlspodcast.beehiiv.com/subscribeLet's stay connected: https://beacons.ai/atallgirlspodcast Leave a review and let me know how tall you are: https://atallgirlspodcast.com/reviews

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.

We've all said it before: “I'm doing everything, and it's not working.” It feels true. It feels justified. But it's also the exact thought that keeps so many overachievers stuck in frustration, burnout, and start–stop momentum. In this episode, I'm adding a little extra “masala to the chai” and calling out this sneaky, disempowering sentence for what it really is: a silent results killer. We'll dig into why it's so costly, how to spot it in your own inner soundtrack, and the high-currency questions that can flip it into progress.   Resources:  Get full show notes and more information here: https://www.burnstressloseweight.com/176 Get my Hormones Training: http://burnstressloseweight.com/hormones Check out my private podcast for lasting weight loss here: https://www.theunstoppablemombrain.com/bodyreset

What would your life look like if you stopped defending your limitations and started designing your future? In this episode of The Raquel Show, I'm getting real about the subtle, sneaky ways excuses keep us stuck—and how to break free from them for good.I'm sharing the mindset framework I've used with top entrepreneurs, real estate agents, and leaders to shift from “I'm not ready” to “I'm already there”.

You ever feel the flinch? That tightness in your chest… the nervous energy when you're on the edge of doing something big? I've felt it too—and in this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on what it really looks like to say yes before you're ready.This isn't just another motivational chat. It's a truth bomb-filled conversation for the real estate agent, the entrepreneur, or the high-achiever who's tired of waiting for the "perfect" moment. Spoiler: it doesn't exist.In this episode, I get real about the fear I've faced (and still face), the risky yeses I've made—from scaling with zero blueprint, to investing in AI, to speaking in rooms that made me sweat—and why the flinch is actually proof that you're growing.

Let's be honest—boredom doesn't feel sexy or motivational… but it might just be the exact ingredient your future self is counting on. In today's episode, I'm coming to you straight from my car (yes, really!) after a StairMaster session that reminded me why I do what I do and why I used to resist this kind of work so hard. I'm talking all about how to embrace boredom without burnout, and how your ability to take consistent action might have less to do with willpower and more to do with your relationship with your three identities: your past self, your present self, and your future self. If you've ever thought “I'm just not that kind of person,” this episode is for you.   Resources:  Get full show notes and more information here: https://www.burnstressloseweight.com/175 Get my Hormones Training: http://burnstressloseweight.com/hormones Check out my private podcast for lasting weight loss here: https://www.theunstoppablemombrain.com/bodyreset

You can't truly love yourself if you're lying to yourself.And you certainly can't find peace in a version of you that's not real.Because when you try to love a version of yourself that isn't true, it feels empty. It's like people-pleasing: if you sacrifice authenticity for approval, then who are they really approving of? Not the real you. And the same goes for self-approval. If we dress up a lie and call it self-love, we're building a facade that will inevitably crumble.In this episode, you will learn…Why women, in particular, tend to lie to themselves (even more than they lie to others)What all major religions and spiritual teachings say about truth-telling3 simple but profound ways to use honesty as a daily practice of loving yourselfWe'll also explore ideas from authors like bell hooks, George Saunders, Don Miguel Ruiz, and Tara Brach, whose teachings remind us that honesty is the foundation of love.If you've ever felt like self-love doesn't “work” for you, or that you're doing everything but still feel disconnected, this episode might reveal why and inspire you to honestly love yourself.Remember: telling the truth isn't about sharing every secret, it's about staying rooted in what's real. And what's real—no matter how messy—is worthy of love.Deepen your self-love journey with Mary's books:The Gift of Self-Love, an interactive workbook that will help you build confidence, recognize your worth, and learn to finally love yourself.100 Days of Self-Love, a guided journal with 100 prompts to help you calm self-criticism and learn to love who you are.Follow Mary on IG: @maryscupofteaa and @maryspodcastIf you're enjoying this self-love podcast, share it with the women in your life.

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.

I had the hotels booked, flights locked in, the team prepped, and the agenda ready to roll. Everything was in motion for three back-to-back events—and then, I got sick.In this episode, I'm opening up about a hard leadership moment: the decision to postpone events I had poured months of energy into. It was uncomfortable. It was humbling. And it taught me one of the most powerful lessons I've learned in 20 years of business:The plan is just the roadmap—the vision is the destination. And when the plan no longer aligns, it's time to pivot.This episode is your permission slip to pivot without guilt, pause without shame, and protect your energy without apology.

This episode is real, raw, and a little personal. I wasn't planning to get sick, but life had other plans—and it reminded me of one powerful truth: if you can't step away from your business without everything crumbling, you don't have a business… you have a job.I want to let you in on what happened when I hit a wall—physically and mentally. I had three back-to-back events, coaching calls lined up, team responsibilities, and I was also celebrating my 20th wedding anniversary. And just like that, my body said "Not today."In this episode, I'm taking you behind the scenes of what it really looks like to lead your business when you're not at 100%. I'll walk you through how I navigated being completely out of commission and still kept things running—without the burnout or guilt.

We'll talk about the real fears that keep you stuck, the doubt that slows you down, and the simple shifts that helped me (and my clients) free up 10+ hours a week.   Resources:  Get full show notes and more information here: https://www.burnstressloseweight.com/173 Join us at The Unstoppable Retreat: https://www.burnstressloseweight.com/retreat  Get my Hormones Training: http://burnstressloseweight.com/hormones Check out my private podcast for lasting weight loss here: https://www.theunstoppablemombrain.com/bodyreset
