Quitting a $70k/year job for Construction ~ Ep 37 Reauna Lopez

What does it really take to leave the safety of a 9-5 and build something of your own - without losing your mind or your marriage? In this episode of Unapologetically Me, Heather Blankenship sits down with Reauna Lopez - entrepreneur, real estate investor, and co-owner of Five Walnut Construction - to talk about identity, ambition, marriage, and the messy but meaningful path to building a life you love. Reauna shares how she went from W2 employee to business owner, why she and her husband launched a marriage retreat, and how her 73-year-old mom’s fitness journey reminds her it’s never too late to start over. 🎧 Don’t forget to subscribe, leave a review, and share with someone who needs to hear Reauna’s story.
