Content warning: alcohol addiction.

“I can do this. I’m gonna do this. I’ve got this.” It’s this mindset and progression that got realtor Therese Bianchi through a tough divorce, raising four kids, and starting a real estate career in 2007.

Tenacity, determination, professionalism, creativity, and continuing to show up are the traits we hear repeatedly on Podcast Hours. Therese is no exception. Carrying on and constantly learning and improving were fundamental to her successful 17-year-long (so far!) career in real estate.

Therese overcame some real challenges, including the tough decision to quit drinking. It took her far out of her comfort zone and made life — temporarily — harder. It was worth it; in the end, mastering her addiction changed everything.

Now Therese is a 2023 Featured Cover Agent in Top Agent Magazine, and her website hosts a library of heartfelt testimonials from happy clients.

In this episode, host Jennifer Nelson and Therese talk about the necessary mindset for success in real estate, how overcoming alcohol helped them both truly grow in their roles and in life, and how personal and professional growth requires self-awareness and hard work.
