Today’s episode is an incredibly inspiring conversation with an amazingly successful real estate developer. Tanya Ragan was recently named one of the 100 National Commercial Real Estate Influencers for 2019 in the United States by The Business Journals. Real Estate isn’t an easy industry to tap into generally since it’s so risky, but it’s especially risky as a woman in Dallas.

Tanya walks Livlyhood listeners through how to unapologetically be yourself at work, support the women around you and how to make money doing it.

Britt Larsen, host of Livlyhood, walks through how to quit your job in a professional way in this episode of the Livlyhood podcast. This is such a hard thing to do and yet no one talks about it! Did you know the average worker will have between 10-15 jobs in their life? That means we’ll all have to quit multiple times, so we should learn how to do it professionally. 

If you're like me, the term "wealth" makes you uncomfortable, but the term BUDGET scares you even more!

Women should own their financial futures and Cara helps you take the steps to make that happen in this episode of Livlyhood!

Too often, women get in each other’s way at work. We have an obligation to support and help the women that we work with and to make more space for women at our table. In this episode, I walk through three questions to ensure that you’re an advocate for yourself and the other women you encounter. 

At the end of the day, women are too busy to waste any time talking about each other and gossiping, and instead we should focus on empowering ourselves and others. 

Julie joins Britt Larsen of Livlyhood to discuss Partnership Families, a concept that aims to create harmony in the home with all members of the family supporting each other's dreams.

Katie Huey joins Livlyhood to share her unique perspective on handling grief in the workplace. Our conversation was so enlightening! I loved learning about the four types of people in your life during a crisis, and how to better prepare managers and employers to aid employees going through the grief process.

My favorite part of the episode is when Katie described how she discovered the bummer truth that only she knew how best to help herself when her dad passed away unexpectedly. She discusses that it's really hard to know what that is at the start, but that you can be brave and ask for what you need. Sometimes this even requires patience as you figure that out moment by moment as you go through the grieving process. It takes hard work because no one will successfully tell you what you need, so tuning into those feelings is really important.

Katie Huey is a writer, marketer, and administrator. After starting a career in nonprofit fundraising and administration, she is thrilled to now be working with a consulting team who believes companies can impact the world for good.  Her freelance writing has appeared in Invoke Magazine, Conscious Company Magazine and Hello Humans.

This first episode covers a topic I am extremely passionate about. I’m a firm believer that dream jobs don’t exist. That may sound like a negative thought, but it’s actually very freeing. Take a listen as I walk you through how to build your dream life instead of searching for a dream job. I’d love to know what you think in the comments!
