    S4Ep2: The Team Lead Rollercoaster — Why We Almost Quit (And Didn't)

    Kristen sits down with three team leads, Mindy Jones, Cassandra, and Rachel Krill, for an honest, unfiltered conversation about the rollercoaster of running a real estate team. They talk about the moments they wanted to quit, why they didn't, and what it actually looks like to build a team (or a micro team, or no team at all) that fits your life instead of someone else's blueprint. In This Episode Why the hardest part of leading a team isn't the business, it's finding people with the grit to embrace the suck The difference between leaders and team members, and why pouring into the wrong people leads to burnout Mindy, Cassandra, and Rachel's very different team models, micro team, mid-size, and everything in between, and why none of them is the "right" one Why Cassandra scaled back after realizing a bigger team didn't mean better production Ditching the word "pivot" for "seasons" — and why your business is allowed to change as your life changes The moment each guest almost walked away from their team or their business entirely, and what got them through it Why turnover is more expensive than most agents realize, and the "slow to hire, fast to fire" philosophy Learning to protect your own definition of success instead of comparing yourself to team photos and award stages Advice for anyone listening who feels like they're ready to quit right now Kristen's Hello Culture community-building coaching The Moms in Real Estate Referral Room and what's inside it Ad Notes: Become A Hello Culture Chapter Leader Referral Room: Join The Waitlist Resources & Links Join Our Facebook Community Follow along on Instagram @heykristencantrell @momsinrealestate Subscribe to our Newsletter Become a Sponsor

    S3Ep12: Become the Local Authority: Jessie Vukobratovich’s Social Media Blueprint for Realtors

    Jessie Vukobratovich is proof that social media success isn’t about luck, it’s about staying in the game long enough to figure out what actually works. After six years of inconsistency, frustration, and posting content that completely missed the mark, Jessie finally made a shift that changed everything. In this episode, she shares the exact moment she stopped focusing on what she thought people wanted (hint: market stats ????) and started creating hyperlocal, community-driven content her audience couldn’t stop watching. The result? Explosive growth, thousands of new followers in a matter of days, and now a steady stream of inbound leads every single week. But it’s not just about going viral. Jessie breaks down how she turned attention into actual business, using simple but powerful systems like automated messaging, strategic lead capture, and consistent follow-up to convert views into closings. We’re also talking about the real side of growth: the months of posting with zero results, the overwhelm when leads start pouring in, and the investments she made (even when it felt risky) to build a sustainable, scalable business.

    S3Ep4: The Power of Consistent Connections

    Welcome back to the show! Today we're diving into something that has the power to completely transform your business, and honestly, your life too. We're talking about network expansion and why consistently meeting new people is one of the most important habits you can build, especially as a mom running a real estate business. Over the years, I’ve talked to countless agents, week after week, year after year, and I’ve noticed a pattern. I’ve seen women who once had thriving businesses suddenly feel like everything slowed down. The leads dried up. The deals stopped flowing. And when we start unpacking why that happened, the answer almost always comes back to one simple question: How are you consistently meeting new people? And a lot of the time… there isn’t a clear answer. Show Notes: The two critical questions every agent should ask: How am I consistently meeting new people? and How am I staying relevant after the connection? Creative and traditional networking strategies including open houses, community events, social media, and podcasting as a relationship-building tool. Why focusing on authentic relationships instead of sales tactics leads to long-term business growth. The importance of systems—CRMs, follow-ups, newsletters, and intentional social media engagement—to stay top-of-mind. How moms in real estate can build a successful business by focusing on one or two consistent lead-generation pillars instead of trying to do everything.

    The Systemized Agent: How Elena Kee Balances Business, Motherhood & Nervous System Health

    In this empowering episode, Kristin sits down with systems expert and founder of Key Technology, Elena Kee, to explore the real journey behind building a business while navigating motherhood, burnout, and healing. Elena opens up about her battle with complex regional pain syndrome and how stress, hustle culture, and high performance contributed to her nervous system crash — and ultimately reshaped her approach to work and life.
