There’s something about sitting still and looking back for a moment. As my real estate license renews for a sixth year, I'm incredibly grateful for the people I've met along the way and how this career gave me a new start.

Story time. I was a Chef for nearly 20 years. It was not easy. I worked at some great restaurants. Opened my own restaurant. Made a lot of good food. Felt creative, fulfilled and happy... at times. But, there were too many sacrifices, especially to my mental health. It's a conflicting when you enjoy working but then it leaves you feeling broken over time. Those that have worked in the industry will understand that if you can't take care of yourself - there will be a day when there is nothing left to give.

Thankfully I realized that I needed to make a change. And there it was, real estate... I'll be a realtor! Friends and family were confused. Rightfully so, I had no sales background and am a bit introverted. It was a total 360, but I believed in myself, my work ethic and what I am capable of.

I realized that not everyone wants to hire a stereotypical cookie-cutter agent. Sometimes they want someone a little different, with a unique skillset and perspective. That's me.

Leaving out a "call to action" here ;) you know what I do.

The speed at which permits are processed varies from city to city. Vancouver has a lot of red tape and a long process to get through depending on the type of construction project. If the provincial government can put more pressure on municipalities to follow through that's definitely a step forward but...we also need to retain our local autonomy.

Housing minister David Eby says "municipalities are not approving enough housing for our population growth" as too many development proposals become stalled at…
