In this honest and heartfelt episode of the Aligned and Prosperous Podcast, host and coach Deborah Stellingwerff pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to bring a big vision to life—and how to recover from the sprint.

Deb shares candid lessons from launching her bestselling book Align & Prosper, a book for realtors about building a business without burnout, and how the very process of launching it pushed her to the edge of exhaustion. She explores the striking parallels between the book writing and launch process and the sprints and marathons of real estate, and the rhythms required to sustain both energy and success.

You’ll also learn Deb’s top four strategies for recovering from and moving through burnout, drawn from her own lived experience and the coaching tools she teaches Realtors every day.

If you’ve ever felt like your business is running you instead of the other way around, this episode will remind you that success doesn’t require self-sacrifice—it requires alignment.

In this special episode of the Aligned & Prosperous Podcast, I hand the microphone to my dear friend and former client, Tracey Lundell, who interviews me about the journey of bringing my new book, Align & Prosper, to life.

Over three years, this book stretched me in every way — personally and professionally. Tracey and I talk about the hurdles I had to overcome, the lessons I distilled from decades of experience, and the triumph of finally holding this message in my hands.

You’ll also get a behind-the-scenes look at the five pillars that form the heart of my work — the same framework that has helped countless agents and entrepreneurs align with their values, strengthen their confidence, and create thriving businesses without burning out.

This isn’t just a conversation about writing a book. It’s about what it means to live and lead in alignment — and how you can take these practices into your own business and life.

🎧 Tune in and be part of the celebration of Align & Prosper — a book written to help you finish strong, rise higher, and expand into what’s possible.

In this episode of the Align and Prosperous podcast, I’m joined by seasoned Realtor Linda Burchell for a real conversation about something that doesn’t get talked about enough: how we treat each other as agents.

With over 30 years in the industry, Linda has seen it all—and she knows that deals don’t fall apart because of clients, they fall apart because of poor communication between agents. Together, we dig into what it really takes to build rapport, foster trust, and create cooperation instead of competition.

You’ll learn how to:

✨ Break down communication barriers that cost you time, money, and peace of mind.

✨ Lead every deal with presence, clarity, and professionalism.

✨ Elevate the industry by showing up as the kind of agent you’d want to work with.

This episode is a call to raise the bar for all of us. Because when agents collaborate, everybody wins - our clients, our colleagues, and our industry as a whole.

In this episode of The Aligned and Prosperous Podcast, Deborah Stellingwerff unpacks a truth every entrepreneur needs to hear: motivation is not enough. It’s fleeting, unreliable, and never shows up on the hard days when you need it most.

Instead, Deborah shares what actually moves the needle—systems, structure, and daily non-negotiables. You’ll learn how to stay consistent even when motivation dips, why audience nurture and content marketing matter more than you think, and how to create lead gen and accountability systems that support sustainable growth.

Mid-Year Goal Review: Hold Steady, Update, or Recalibrate?

We’re halfway through 2025. How are you doing with the goals you set at the start of the year?

In this episode of the Aligned and Prosperous podcast, I’m inviting you into a powerful mid-year check-in. Together, we’ll explore the question I ask myself and every one of my clients around this time:

Where are you in relation to where you said you want to go?

Whether you’re right on track (yay, celebrate that!) or feeling off-course, this episode will help you tune in and choose your next right step. Do you need to update your goals because your vision has shifted, or recalibrate your commitment and get the right support to go all in?

You’ll walk away with clarity, compassion, and renewed confidence to finish the year aligned with what truly matters.

We’ve all heard it—consistency is king. But after coaching hundreds of realtors, I’m here to tell you: consistency isn’t the problem. The real issue? You haven’t committed to mastery yet.

In this episode of Aligned and Prosperous, I’m breaking down why focusing on consistency too early actually keeps you stuck—and what to do instead if you want lasting results in your business. I’ll share a powerful client story where Lori held her leadership in a tough commission conversation and walked away with a full-fee listing… not because she pushed harder, but because she led with confidence and clarity.

You don’t need to hustle harder. You need to get good—really good—at the skills that move your business forward. When you commit to mastering sales leadership, consistency becomes a natural result.

If you’re tired of white-knuckling your way through follow-up, lead gen, and outreach, this episode will show you a better way.
