In this episode of The Raquel Show, I'm diving into one of the questions I get asked most often: “What's the best way to build a real estate business?” My honest answer? There isn't just one. The truth is, the best model is the one that matches your lifestyle, your vision, and your energy.Too many entrepreneurs get caught up chasing the “right way” or comparing themselves to others—when in reality, the beauty of real estate is that you get to design your business your way. In this conversation, I'm breaking down the most common models—from mega teams to solo CEO agents—and showing you the pros, cons, and the clarity questions you need to ask before you commit.I'll also walk you through:Why clarity is the first step before scalingThe 4 most common real estate business models (and how to know which fits you best)Tactical steps to reverse engineer your business from your lifestyleHow profit-first thinking, systems, and hiring decisions shape long-term successThe CEO shift every agent must make to create a business that truly works for them
Sometimes, the real breakthrough isn't in doing more of what you're good at — it's in finally turning toward the skill you've been quietly avoiding. In this episode, I'm sharing a personal story that sparked the idea: you are only as strong as your weakest skill. For so many high-achieving women, the gap that's holding us back isn't obvious. It's usually the skill we avoid, the one hiding in plain sight. Once you identify it and give it the attention it deserves, your results can change fast.

In this episode, I dive deep into one of the most important principles that changed the trajectory of my business and life: nothing beats experience. I share why trying to figure it all out on your own is actually the slowest and most expensive route you can take—and how paying for expertise through a coach, consultant, or the right hire can collapse time, save energy, and accelerate results.

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.

Send us a textClick here for ResourcesHave you ever found yourself caught in an endless loop of replaying conversations, wondering if you said the right thing or how others perceived you? You're not alone. Overanalyzing isn't just an annoying habit. It is rooted in our evolutionary biology and neurological wiring.When we replay social interactions, our brains are actually seeking validation and safety. MRI studies show that rejection activates the same regions of the brain as physical pain, while approval triggers dopamine, creating a temporary high that keeps us stuck in the cycle. From childhood, many of us, especially women, were conditioned to equate fitting in with safety. Be good. Follow the rules. Don't stand out. Over time, our nervous systems learned to chase approval instead of trusting our own compass.The cost is enormous. Overthinking drains our energy and keeps us stuck in the past or anxious about the future. Our real power is only available in the present moment. Research shows that successful people share one key trait: they care less about others' opinions and act boldly from their inner vision.In this episode of my self help podcast for women and growth minded listeners, I, Dr. Amen Kaur, share a simple three step framework to break free. First, catch yourself in the overthinking loop. Second, regulate your nervous system through breath and presence. Third, take one small action that affirms who you are in this moment.I also share my mantra “So Be It,” which helps you embody the version of yourself who takes action. Clarity doesn't come from thinking more. It comes from being who you truly are.Whether you are navigating overthinking, seeking personal growth, or building the confidence to follow your dreams, this episode will give you the tools to move forward.If you are ready to step into who you want to be, book a free consultation with me, Dr. Amen Kaur, and discover how to embody your vision and release the old conditioning that is keeping you stuck. The power is within you. So be it.Support the show

This episode is a little different — I'm sharing a clip from one of my recent masterclasses where I busted some of the most common myths about strength training.These myths hold so many women back from building the strength, muscle, and confidence they want in midlife.

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 ★

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.

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. It's about building a business that pays you reliably, even when life gets busy.
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.

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.
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.
