  419: The 6 Keys of Empowerment with Soni Graves

  Aug 19, 202635 minS8

  What does it really take to become self-managed—and why do so many capable people struggle to follow through on what they already know? On today's episode of Empowering Women in Real Estate® – The Podcast, I'm joined by Soni Graves and Steve Rigby of New Wings Consulting for a conversation about relationships, accountability, self-management, and the choices that shape both our success and our quality of life. Soni shares how more than 35 years in sales and leadership taught her that business has always been—and will always be—about people. We also talk about why asking for support does not mean giving up control, the role accountability plays in helping us grow, and why success without a meaningful life is not really success at all. Soni also gives us a preview of her keynote at the 2026 Empowering Women in Real Estate® Conference, The 6 Keys of Empowerment. She walks us through the questions that help us move from where we are now to where we want to be: what, where, why, when, how, and who—along with the seventh key that ultimately determines everything: which choice will you make? Listen in for an honest and practical conversation about moving beyond knowledge, choosing excellence, and creating a life and business where you are supported, accountable, and empowered to follow through.

  418: Keeping Promises to Yourself with Rosemary Lewis

  Aug 12, 202629 minS8

  What happens when you keep every promise you make to everyone else—but repeatedly break the ones you make to yourself? In this episode of Empowering Women in Real Estate® – The Podcast , Karen sits down with Rosemary Lewis, associate broker, coach, and "real estate bestie," for an honest conversation about self-trust, faith, vulnerability, and the small commitments that shape who we become. Rosemary shares how a nudge to "go help" led her from teaching into real estate, how success and loss changed the way she views business, and why no amount of striving can fill the places that require deeper healing and faith. Together, Karen and Rosemary explore how repeatedly putting yourself last can quietly erode your confidence—and how keeping even one meaningful promise to yourself can begin to rebuild trust, unlock courage, and change the way you show up in your life, relationships, and business. You'll also hear why asking for help is not a sign of weakness, the importance of being vulnerable in the right rooms, and Rosemary's encouragement for any woman who feels discouraged by her year so far: focus on what you can do today. The basics may be boring, but they work. This conversation is a powerful reminder that you do not have to outwork your pain, hide in plain sight, or keep removing yourself from your own priority list.

  417: The Hidden Financial Stress of Successful Women with Michelle Jacobik

  Aug 5, 202628 minS8

  You can be successful, earn a strong income, and still feel financially stressed. For many women in real estate, the problem isn't the ability to make money. It's that no one ever taught us how to manage inconsistent income, prepare for taxes, create financial stability, or run the business side of the business. In this episode of Empowering Women in Real Estate® – The Podcast, Karen sits down with business strategist and bestselling author Michelle Jacobik to talk about the hidden financial pressure successful women often carry—and why earning more money doesn't automatically create more peace. Michelle shares why revenue without a system can actually make the financial gaps in your business bigger, how financial avoidance erodes self-trust, and what it takes to build real clarity, confidence, and stability in both your business and personal finances. They also talk about shifting from "what-if worry" to "what-if possibility," Michelle's standing Friday appointment with her voice of doubt, and how one courageous investment led to an extraordinary opportunity with Ed Mylett. Michelle will also be speaking at the 2026 Empowering Women in Real Estate® Conference, where she'll help attendees uncover the financial stress hiding beneath their success and begin creating a path toward greater profit and personal peace.

  416: What Having a Front-Row Seat to Thousands of Women in Real Estate Taught Me

  Jul 29, 202645 minS8

  For the past 12 years, Karen Cooper has had a front-row seat to the experiences of tens of thousands of women in real estate through her community, Empowering Women in Real Estate®. And across every level of success, certain patterns continue to appear. Every woman questions herself. Every woman loses clients, makes mistakes, and considers quitting at some point. The women with the most staying power are not the ones who avoid hard seasons, but the ones who learn how to recover, evolve, and build their businesses in a way that can evolve with them. And so much more. In this special anniversary episode, Karen shares what 12 years of Empowering Women in Real Estate® has taught her about mindset, consistency, comparison, relationships, ego, and the importance of surrounding yourself with people who expand what you believe is possible. You'll hear why there is no substitute for doing the work, why connecting with people matters more than your CRM or branding, and why there is no single right way to build a successful real estate business. Most of all, this episode is a reminder that you are not the only one navigating doubt, disappointment, change, or uncertainty—and you are allowed to create a business that supports the life you want now.

  415: The Iconic Woman: How to Use the Power of Style to Become Unforgettable

  Jul 22, 202628 minS8

  In this episode of Empowering Women in Real Estate® – The Podcast , Karen sits down with style coach Afton Porter for a conversation that goes far beyond fashion. Together, they explore how style impacts confidence, presence, personal branding, and the way women show up in their businesses — especially in midlife. Afton shares why the clothes in your closet may no longer reflect the woman you are today, how color and presentation influence first impressions, and why becoming unforgettable starts with feeling aligned, authentic, and confident in your own skin. If you have ever looked in your closet and felt like nothing works anymore, or wondered how to show up more confidently in your business without pretending to be someone you're not, this episode is for you.
