Episode 5 - Building Stability in the Storm: How Adding a New Income Stream Changed My Life (with Brad Flanagan)

In this episode of The Grace Factor, Jessica Grace sits down with Brad Flanagan of Responsive Mortgage to talk about what it really looks like to rebuild, reset, and rethink your business after life throws you a curveball. Jessica opens up about how, at the start of 2025, she decided to add a new stream of income through mortgages—without realizing how life-changing that decision would be. When unexpected challenges hit, that extra income became a true God send, bringing stability and peace during a season of chaos. Together, Jessica and Brad break down the mindset of growth, why top real estate teams are adding ancillary income streams, and how you can ethically and legally do the same. They also discuss the limiting beliefs that hold many women back from scaling, and why reframing money as impact and stewardship is key to building a business that lasts. If you've ever felt stretched thin or wondered how to build a more resilient business model, this episode will inspire you to think bigger, believe in your value, and start creating stability beyond your next closing. 💡 Mentioned in this episode: Jessica's personal story of restarting and finding stability through loan referrals Brad's 20 years of experience helping agents build profitable, compliant partnerships How to add ancillary services to your business the right way Details on the upcoming free webinar "What the Big Teams Know: How to Multiply Your Income Without More Closings" happening November 13 at 10AM CST   Register for the webinar here  https://www.realestatemegamoms.com/pl/2148716202
