Home Life and Hustle

Well hey there, friends — this one’s a good 'un.On this episode, we’re sittin’ a spell with Jen Buchanan and talking about how she first wandered into the wild world of real estate, the life curveballs that knocked things a little sideways, and the moment she knew it was time to pick herself up, dust off her boots, and how she saw both her life and business get the reboot they needed. Jen’s got a big ol’ heart for helping other agents, and she shares how that passion led to starting the 35 West Tour Group. So grab yourself a cup of coffee (or something a little stronger), settle in, and come hang out with us for a bit. We promise it’ll feel like a good chat on the front porch.

We are comin’ in hot, y’all. 🔥We brought on our first guest of the season, top-producing real estate pro and proud family man, Tony Spratt — and let’s just say, he did not hold back.We’re spillin’ the real tea on what new agents actually need to know (not the fluffy Instagram version), the mistakes we made when we were green, and the hard lessons that built the businesses we have today. We also dig into what’s really happening in the North Texas market — no hype, no doom scrolling, just straight talk.And because we’re moms who care about more than production numbers, we asked the question that matters: how do you build a big business without burning out or blowing up your home life?If you’re chasing goals, juggling kids, building a brand, or just trying to keep your sanity in this market — saddle up. This one’s for you. 🎙️🏡🤠

Saddle up your horses, friends, we ride at dawn! We are ringing in this new year by drawing a line in the sand and declaring our 2026 mantra: Peace is the new Productivity. We review what matters most, why we got into this business, and how to keep the main thing, the main thing. We are moving into a new physical space and figuring out our sound, which is appropriate as we navigate the new year in real estate! Stick with us, friends as we conquer what is ahead!

In today’s episode of Home Life & Hustle, we’re in full holiday mode—talking Christmas traditions, the ones we grew up with, the ones we’ve built with our families, and the real-life adjustments we’ve had to make as life gets busier. We chat about what matters most, what we’re letting go of, and how to keep the season meaningful without burning out. If you’re craving a warm, honest listen with a little laughter and a lot of heart—this one’s for you.Want to share your favorite tradition? Send us a message—we’d love to feature a few on a future episode.

Is it polite… or did someone cross the line like a calf through a barbed-wire fence? 🤠In this episode, we’re playing judge, jury, and very opinionated Texans as we break down everyday scenarios and decide: Appropriate or no? This real estate mayhem brings all the awkwardness and nothing is safe from our hot takes.We’re keepin’ it light, honest, and just opinionated enough to spark a “wait… I do that” moment. No lectures, no etiquette rulebook (for one of us!) — just two Texas Realtors calling it like we see it. Grab your sweet tea and prepare to agree, disagree, and maybe clutch your pearls a little. 😉

Hold on to your hats, folks — we’re talkin’ real estate tea hotter than a Texas summer. 🤠 In this episode we break down the headlines everyone’s hollerin' about: new propositions from the current administration, board membership buzz, and the hot-button topics shaking up the housing market.Per usual, we’re servin’ it straight, simple, and with just enough sass to keep it interesting. If you’ve been wondering what these changes mean for your wallet, your investments, or your next move, this one’s for you. No jargon, no snoozin’ — just real talk from us moms who live it every day. Pour your sweet tea (or somethin’ stronger) and let’s go! 🏡☕🔥
