EP 213: Real Estate Is the Audacious Path to the Life You Actually Want — So Why Are You Still Playing Small?

In this episode, we sit down with Laura Sides to talk about how real estate investing can completely transform your life and create true freedom—both financially and personally. Laura shares her journey from classroom teacher to successful real estate investor, and how embracing mindset shifts and identity growth enabled her to step away from the “average” life and design one that truly aligns with her values.

We chat about how real estate investing for women is about more than just building wealth; it’s about creating fulfillment, flexibility, and joy along the way. Laura opens up about the importance of community support, surrounding yourself with like-minded women in real estate, and why being a good client matters when working with contractors and building a strong team. We also talk about knowing when to sell properties to make room for better opportunities, building a portfolio that supports your lifestyle goals, and giving yourself permission to have fun and enjoy the life you’re working so hard to create.
