If you've ever felt like you're in a pressure cooker—whether it's your real estate business, personal life, or that weird space between "figuring it out" and actually having it figured out—this episode isn't half bad.
Jen gets vulnerable (per usual) about her recent "contraction period" (a year of worry, money stress, and questioning her direction) and how it led to her current expansion phase (setting 15 appointments in one month after setting only 3 in the previous six months). We dive deep into why these cycles aren't just business phenomena—they're natural patterns that show up everywhere from labor contractions to sponges in the ocean.
Whether you're in a tough season right now or riding a wave of success, this conversation offers both the science behind why contraction prepares us for growth AND the practical tools for navigating whichever phase you're in.
