About That Wisconsin Girl

First and foremost, I want to apologize for the long hiatus on this blog. Over the past few years, I've been focused on building my real estate company to the next level. While we're a small team, we’re committed to helping people from all walks of life, and that meant putting this blog on hold as I worked on other projects.

You might be wondering why I continue to pour time and resources into this journey. The answer is simple: I entered real estate not for the money, but for the thrill of the work and the opportunity to make a positive impact on others. Now, at 53 years old, I can’t help but reflect on my one regret: not spending enough time with my son. I told my son that and he looked right at me and said, "it's fine mom, I am doing just fine." He's 18 now, and while people often say kids need you when they’re young, I've come to realize they need you just as much—if not more—when they’re older. I was fortunate enough to have amazing support raising Brecken and provide him with a life that will let him flourish. It is tough to balance a busy career, raising a family, household chores, and a social life when everything matters to me, and you want to get it all done. I never want to let anyone down which is why I always try to fit it all in.

Looking back, I find myself questioning if the houses I sold, the awards, and the accolades will truly matter in the long run. That's why I started this blog—to share my real story and the lessons I've learned along the way. As I grow older and wiser, my priorities have shifted, and I hope that by sharing my experiences, I can help others—both young and old—understand that you can still achieve your goals, prioritize family, and lead a fulfilling life. The whole purpose is a Better Life Now!

In today’s tech-driven world, it often feels like we've sometimes lost touch with the heart of humanity. Wisconsin, however, still carries a bit of that Hallmark charm. It offers a glimpse into small-town life and farming communities, where pride in one's work runs deep. Here, strong work ethics, a commitment to helping neighbors, and the value of community still thrive.

This website lets me promote what I truly am all about – You have to give to gain!

This blog will also touch on deeper issues in the future – Life is not always easy and sometimes not fair – but learning how to get up and do the best we can – no matter what level that is. This is what I want to have everyone work towards.
