The birds and the bees do it.

We do it.

Did you know that even plants to do it?

Yes, plants have sex and procreate!

I love learning and deepening my knowledge and understanding for all things health and fitness.

I am a self proclaimed geek. I love love love learning. The learning series we are currently watching on Netflix is Explained.

Without a doubt Netflix and Amazon have changed the way we watch TV and what we have access too.

More importantly, their documentaries are second to none. And they have literally tongue tied politicians and company owners with their direct questions and repeat of questions that others want to skate around. The knowledge they are bringing forward everyone should want to know- because so much change is needed and will never happen when we keep our heads in the sand.

I have never been an activist. I have always been a One BadAss BITCH- you know- one beautiful, intelligent, talented, confident, and hilarious person- willing to speak up and question that which does not make sense. I will not apologize for challenging rules, guidelines, information, etc that does not make sense and is not good for the public. If it is not good for the public- it is not good for me.

I am still not an activist. I have never stood on a street corner with a sign or laid my body down as a barrier. I am passionate without a doubt. Passionate about health and nutrition and that includes our food chain, our air we breathe, etc.

I was both the beautiful flower and the thorn for my brokers in real estate because I knew and know real estate inside out, the laws, and I believed in always doing the very best for my clients within the limits of the law. I realized early on in my career that brokers want the least amount of liability and noise so they will instruct stricter rules than law, MLS’s, and even the RE commissions place. They would rather settle a dispute even if the person claiming fowl is wrong and there are rules to support that than take the time to fight on your behalf. I agree that some fights are not worth the hassle. And I also believe that some rules, if you are really about the good of the consumer, are worth the challenge. MLS’s are all about revenue and making money off the back of hard working agents and then they give back a portion of what we pay to the brokers who further profit above the splits we have already paid versus give us back the portion of the credit that we paid, and then there is the real estate commissions which spend more time making sure they keep an even competition field amongst brokers and agents than really thinking about the best interest of the consumer.

Just one case in point I will share… Every time a listing has a price change it comes back up to the hot sheet for buyers. Knowing this, I had agreement with my sellers to change their price every so slightly up or down about once a week if we were not sold within the first 7 days to bring their home back to the attention of buyers. I had a lot of strategies coupled with deep knowledge and strategic pricing to begin with that resulted in 98% of listings sold for higher price per square foot than other homes that sold in the community. Changing price ever so slightly is a strategy that worked and was quite honestly brilliant- no one else had ever thought of this. How do I know because it actually triggered our MLS to create a knew rule after I pushed back. You see, they wrote a letter to my broker stating that I was creating an unfair advantage for my clients by manipulating the system with price changes to bring my listings back to the hotsheet. Why is it an unfair advantage… I call it smart strategy. My broker pushed back on my behalf. That if we are really about the best for the consumer- isn’t what I am doing in the best interest for my sellers- the consumer. They really could not argue that fact, so instead, they created a rule that there was a minimum amount a priced adjustment could be.

My motto in real estate and what I taught others is that when we expand our knowledge and master our craft we do best for the consumer and we protect the client, when we properly protect the client we protect ourselves from liability, and when we protect ourselves from liability we protect our brokers from liability.

Hate to inform you that there are agents that do not even read the contract so it does make a huge difference who you choose. I may not practice anymore, I am still in knowledge of the market etc, and friends with the best of the best across the country. You want to work with the best of the best- let me connect you.

Why am I sharing a little bit about my 20 years as a top producer in real estate with you?

Because too many of us live in ignorant bliss. We think all professionals are the same. All real estate agents are alike, all mortgage lenders are alike, all personal trainers are alike, all health and fitness coaches are alike, all that it does not matter who we buy our car from or where we get it serviced… the list goes on and on.

It all matters to our wallets, to our experience, and to us getting the best that we deserve and desire.

Most important! We live in ignorant bliss when it comes to our food chain, our air, our health, our fitness, etc…. AND the political power and financial power that influences it… WTHOUT REGARD… for our health. It is about money! Who has it, what they want, and who needs it that can give them what they want!

70% of Americans are obese- in poor health and fitness. 70%.

So, what am I ultimately passionate about right now? Why am I so loud, so in your face, and so why I do not care about what anyone thinks of what I post is because my goal is to bring as many people out of ignorant bliss into knowledge and powerful bliss so “we the people” can take back the power we truly have I- first with our own health and fitness- second to demand and make change in all the bullshit that is truly harming us, harming our planet, and creating chronic illness.

At this point with all the bullshit happening- we each need to become an activist. It is just that most of us need to start with being an activist for ourselves first.

Get health and fit.
Practice self care and self love.

I know once you do, you too will look at all through different lenses and start taking a stand!
