Career vs. Motherhood in today's world is constantly being discussed in the media. Can you have a career while balancing motherhood? Which is more fulfilling? Is it wrong to want a thriving career over wanting to spend every waking moment being a mother and wife? Carolyn & Kellie discuss the mental load of being a wife and mother, and their personal thoughts on the recent controversial commencement speech that Harrison Butker gave. Did your life truly begin when you became a wife and a mother? It was a very privileged comment that was made - most families cannot afford to have a full time stay at home parent (mother) in the home. The costs of existing on the planet are higher than ever. We discuss the ideal of having an equal partnership between spouses who share not only the tasks of the day, but the mental load of life.

Real Estate Fraud is becoming more common. As Realtors, we have to vet our buyers and sellers before getting too far along in the process. This is why we require buyers to be pre-approved or submit proof of funds. We also have several tools at our disposal to research potential clients - apps like Forewarn, and searching public records databases to become quasi private investigators. We do this for our safety and security, and to protect our other clients as well. Carolyn & Kellie discuss some recent true crime as it relates to real estate on the Space Coast with tales of breaking and entering and identity theft.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis recently announced a sales tax holiday on homeowner's insurance premiums in Florida. But what does that mean? Is it actually helpful, or just another big media headline? Carolyn & Kellie break it down and explain what the "insurance relief" equates to in dollars for the average homeowner.

Saving money can sometimes cause inconveniences. Carolyn & Kellie discuss the ways that they go out of their way to save a few dollars. From traveling a bit farther to use an airport that is busier and much more hectic, to picking up your own carryout orders versus using a food delivery service, doing your own grocery shopping versus using Instacart, or literally driving out of your way to get gas. How do you go out of your way to save money? What conveniences are worth the extra money?

Real Estate School teaches you a lot about laws and calculating financial information. Unfortunately, it does not teach you how to practice real estate. There are many basic practices, such as completing a real estate contract, that are not addressed at all in your real estate course. There are few barriers to entry when it comes to getting your real estate license. Should there be more? Carolyn & Kellie weigh in with their opinions.

What is a beauty influencer? Personalities that are demonstrating and giving reviews on your favorite beauty products to influence your purchases - who are also compensated in many cases for their "unbiased" opinions fall into this category. Have you been influenced? What about de-influenced? Have you ever stopped yourself from buying a product because of a video review you watched on social media? Carolyn & Kellie discuss the rise of beauty influencers on social media and how they have been both influenced and de-influenced.
