Career vs. Motherhood in today's world is constantly being discussed in the media. Can you have a career while balancing motherhood? Which is more fulfilling? Is it wrong to want a thriving career over wanting to spend every waking moment being a mother and wife? Carolyn & Kellie discuss the mental load of being a wife and mother, and their personal thoughts on the recent controversial commencement speech that Harrison Butker gave. Did your life truly begin when you became a wife and a mother? It was a very privileged comment that was made - most families cannot afford to have a full time stay at home parent (mother) in the home. The costs of existing on the planet are higher than ever. We discuss the ideal of having an equal partnership between spouses who share not only the tasks of the day, but the mental load of life.

Real Estate Fraud is becoming more common. As Realtors, we have to vet our buyers and sellers before getting too far along in the process. This is why we require buyers to be pre-approved or submit proof of funds.

We do this for our safety and security, and to protect our other clients as well. Carolyn & Kellie discuss some recent true crime as it relates to real estate on the Space Coast with tales of breaking and entering and identity theft.
