97. The Real Story Behind Selling Our House

This one's personal. In this week's episode of Go Get Great, I'm opening up about something we've been navigating behind the scenes—something I haven't shared publicly until now. We sold our house. Not because we were upgrading. Not because we were relocating for a dream job or planning a big life change. We sold our home because we owed money—a lot more than we expected—and had to make a tough call. In this episode, I'm walking you through the full story: ✨ What led us to this point ✨ How a surprise government categorization left us with a hefty debt ✨ The decision to list our home (and how long it actually took to sell) ✨ The pressure of house hunting with four kids and nowhere to go ✨ Why we moved in with my mom (temporarily) ✨ And the crazy story of how we finally purchased in our new home It's been messy, emotional, and honestly really humbling. But I wanted to share this because I know so many of us—especially as business owners and parents—feel like we have to keep everything together all the time. That we have to look like we're always growing, always thriving. But that's just not real life. This episode is about hard choices, trusting yourself even when things feel uncertain, and being brave enough to pivot when life throws you a curveball. If you've ever felt like you were doing your best and still falling behind—you are not alone. 💬 Send me a DM after you listen and let me know what part hit home for you.   Go Get Great Episode 97 References Yvonee Steer (St. Thomas Based Realtor) - https://www.instagram.com/steeringyouhome/   Come Say Hi! https://www.instagram.com/brittanymillersocials/ https://www.brittanymillersocials.ca/ Ready to level up your life and business taking it from good to great?
