The question that changed everything at our Retreat

Six months after choosing to walk away from my top 1% luxury real estate team, I’ve been rebuilding something new — a team that reflects the business I want in my future, not the one from my past.

This week, that next chapter took us from Nashville to Park City, Utah for our very first Elevated Living Advisory team retreat.

The backdrop? Autumn leaves changing, brainstorming on hikes, celebrating everything we’ve accomplished in just a few short months.

But the most important part wasn’t the scenery — it was the pause. It was the chance to step away from the day-to-day and ask the question that matters most.

The Question That Shifted Everything

If you could wave a magic wand and design your life two years from now, what would it look like?

At first, it sounded playful. But the answers weren’t surface-level. Each person named a vision that went deeper than production goals or business milestones.

They described:

  • The kind of lifestyle they wanted
  • The energy they wanted to feel in their work
  • The big dreams that felt almost impossible to say out loud

From Vision to Action

Here’s where we took it further. We did the part most people skip: we reverse-engineered those visions into tangible decisions we could start making right now.

Because the beauty of pausing to imagine your future isn’t just dreaming — it’s direction-setting. ✨

Clarity about where you’re going makes today’s choices so much simpler.

What This Means for You

That’s exactly what I want for you, too.

I created the CEO Identity Activation, a free 7-day audio series, to help you step out of the overwhelm of daily tasks and into the energy of the leader who’s building the business — and the life — she actually wants.

Because waving a magic wand isn’t really magic at all. It’s giving yourself permission to pause, name the vision, and then choose to lead from it.


With clarity + vision,
