The Body Keeps Score

"Are you taking care of you?" Guest host Nikkia Dollar opens the call with a question that most agents skip right past in the grind: when work takes more effort to get the same result, what's keeping you going? Agents get honest about what self-care actually looks like when it doesn't cost a dime, from morning prayer and meditation to pickleball, painting with a daughter, music blasting in the car, barefoot grounding in the grass, and one very real "I turned my alarm off and went back to bed." Then Nikkia brings in Bessel van der Kolk's "The Body Keeps the Score" and asks how mindfulness shows up in the clients you take, the ones you walk away from, and the energy you protect. One agent shares how her mindset carried her through seven medical emergencies and her plan to live to 100. Another reminds us that saying no is a complete sentence. A grounded conversation about showing up for your business without losing yourself in it.
