Polly Walshin
I am a southern girl at heart living in San Diego for over 20 years. I graduated from an American college with a degree in interior design in Atlanta Georgia. I spent the first couple of years out of college working for a large Model Home company and designed over 100 homes for many different builders.
My family and I were growing and we decided to move to San Diego. I spent the next 10 years as a homemaker and decided to put my career on hold to be with my children. When I became a single mother I got my real estate license. I also helped open many LA fitnesses all over San Diego.I was their number one producer while still managing to be able to be there for my children for everything as a single mother. When the market crashed in 2006 my real estate career took off. I sold over $10 million worth of real estate in a matter of two years just by knocking door-to-door and helping people get out of their homes without foreclosure.
In 2010 I went to work for Dunbar Armored and was the West Coast account executive of sales. I was number one on the West Coast for many years in a row. This was not my calling. I wanted to help children know that nutrition and health are vital to their success in life. While working a full-time job, being a single parent, and being Girl Scout mom, Boyscout mom Rowing sponsor for my daughter's team, and my son's soccer coach at night I would write papers to get my master's degree in education. I received my master's in secondary education and became a PE teacher in 2013. I taught PE and health until I was injured in 2017. I went back to selling real estate because I knew I could be successful but this was still unfulfilling and I could not teach anymore. I knew the best thing that I could do was to help other people. I truly had to reinvent myself again in my late 40s. When the whole world was shut down during quarantine
I knew it was time to write my book. All of this overachieving all goes back to a lack of not knowing the love of my own father. So during quarantine, I wrote a book called daddy issues that will be out in approximately two weeks. I believe this is the course that I was always supposed to do.I just had to get more life under my belt in order to be able to help more people. Remember our mess can be our message !!
