But this episode isn’t just about success - it’s about what happens when life shifts, priorities change, and you’re forced to rebuild in a new season.At just four months postpartum (at the time of recording) with her second baby, Peggy is stepping back into business - and doing it with a completely different perspective.We talk about the reality of returning to work after having a baby, the pressure around “having it all”, and whether success, family life and relationships can truly coexist - or if something always has to give.This conversation also dives deep into sales - especially for small business owners who feel uncomfortable putting themselves out there. Peggy shares her mindset around selling as service, how she handles rejection, and why focusing on solving people’s problems (not chasing the biggest deal) is what’s actually built her career.We also unpack:What buyers are getting wrong in today’s marketWhat sellers need to understand before listingHow to navigate big decisions with more confidence and less pressureThe mindset shift that makes selling feel natural, not forcedThis episode is honest, practical and grounding - whether you’re in business, navigating a big life transition, or simply wanting to approach sales and decision-making in a more aligned way.-------------------Links:Follow Peggy McAlister:https://www.realestate.com.au/agent/peggy-mcalister-3260056?cid=agent-profile-page|buy:pdp:contact-side-panelFollow us:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/for.founders.sake/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ForFoundersSake
