My Word for 2026: CONNECTION 🏡✨

As I look ahead to this new year, one word keeps calling to me: connection.
Connection with my home – creating spaces that truly reflect who I am and support how I want to live, not just how things look on the surface.

Connection with my loved ones – the Sippin’ Sistas, the Yayas, Rocky, my kids, and all the people who remind me what really matters when life gets noisy.

Connection with my community – showing up for Milton, Roswell, and Alpharetta in meaningful ways, whether that’s through my work with American Dream TV, supporting local causes, or simply being present.

Here’s what I’ve learned after years of helping people find their right-fit homes: the most beautiful house in the world means nothing if it doesn’t connect you to the life you actually want to live.

So this year, I’m asking myself (and maybe you can ask yourself too): What connections am I nurturing? Which ones need more attention? And where can I show up more fully?

Because when we’re truly connected – to our spaces, our people, and our purpose – that’s when we’re living in our Wheel House. 💫

What’s your word for 2026? I’d love to hear it! 👇

🎉 Celebrating 7 Years as a Top Performer!

I’m beyond grateful to share that I’ve been recognized as a Top Atlanta Realtor® with Atlanta Fine Homes Sothebys International Realty for the seventh year in a row!

But honestly? This year has been about so much more than numbers.
2025 has been one of the most productive and fulfilling years of my career. I finished writing “Live in Your Wheel House” (yes, it’s really happening!), launched my podcast by the same name, and became a host on American Dream TV.

Each of these projects has allowed me to share The Wheel House Method in new ways and connect with incredible people who are ready to align their homes with their authentic lives.

The conversations, the connections, the stories you’ve shared with me—they’ve been the real win this year. Every client who trusted me with their journey, every listener who reached out, every person who said “this is exactly what I needed to hear”—you’ve made this year unforgettable.

As we head into 2026, I’m energized and ready to help even more people find homes that truly reflect who they are and support the lives they want to live. Whether you’re buying, selling, or just curious about living more intentionally, I’d love to connect!

Here’s to alignment, authenticity, and an incredible year ahead! 🏡✨

Had the best time today filming a segment for American Dream TV at Poe and Company, the gem of a bookstore right here in Crabapple Market! 📚✨

Kate Seng has created something truly special—a space that’s equal parts cozy retreat and community gathering place. Walking through those doors feels like stepping into a world where conversations linger over the perfect book recommendation.

We talked about what makes a great neighborhood bookstore (hint: it’s about so much more than books!), the magic of Crabapple Market, and why having these kinds of authentic local spaces matters when you’re thinking about where to put down roots.

If you haven’t visited Poe and Company yet, add it to your weekend plans. Trust me—you’ll walk in for one book and leave with three… and probably a new friend in Kate. 😊

This is exactly what I love about Milton—the people, the places, and the stories that make it home.

🎬 Lights, camera… bookmarks!

Tomorrow I’m filming the next episode of American Dream TV at Poe and Company Bookstore in Crabapple Market—and yes, this place is right up my alley.

Think cozy reading nooks, a thoughtfully curated selection of books, and a warm, welcoming vibe that makes you want to linger (and buy “just one more”). They also host fantastic community book clubs and author events—proof that great neighborhoods are built on connection, conversation, and a shared love of stories.

Can’t wait to spotlight a local gem that turns pages into community. 📚✨

Stay tuned—this episode is one for the book lovers.

Ever thought about your home as more than just four walls? 🏡✨

I had such a meaningful conversation with Bridget Stuart on The Inner Estate podcast about something that’s been at the heart of my work for years—how our homes can actually support us in becoming our best selves.

We dove into Maslow’s hierarchy of needs (yes, that pyramid from psychology class!) and how it applies to one of the biggest decisions we make: choosing where we live. Because here’s the thing—your home isn’t just about square footage and granite countertops. It’s about creating a foundation that supports your safety, your relationships, your growth, and ultimately, your dreams.

I shared my personal journey of discovering this connection and how it led me to create The Wheel House Method. When you understand what you truly need from your living space—not just what looks good on Instagram—everything changes.

Whether you’re thinking about buying, selling, or just wanting to feel more aligned with where you are right now, this conversation is for you. 💫

Catch the full episode of The Inner Estate with Bridget Stuart—link in the comments! And if this resonates, I’d love to hear: what does YOUR home do for you beyond shelter?

🎙️ I’m thrilled to share that I joined the incredible Angelina Carleton on the Designing a Legacy podcast!

We dove into something I’m deeply passionate about: how your home can either fuel your future or quietly hold you back. Because here’s the truth—beautiful spaces aren’t always aligned spaces. And when your environment doesn’t support who you’re becoming, it creates stagnation, overwhelm, and even self-doubt.

In this conversation, we explored:
✨ Why high achievers often feel “off” in gorgeous homes that don’t reflect their values
✨ How life transitions (think succession, divorce, inheritance) demand a fresh look at your space
✨ The Wheel House Assessment—and how it transforms homes into launchpads for legacy building
Your home should be more than pretty. It should propel you forward with clarity, confidence, and purpose.

Tune in to hear how aligning your environment with your core values becomes the foundation for designing the legacy you want to live—and leave. 🏡💫
