After a brief trip back across the pond in January, Amanda's back in the studio with her colleague & friend, Karen Downing, who is a licensed Realtor out of Hudson, Ohio for episode 10 of Mind the Gap. Since Karen also spent some time back in UK, and they share parallel stories around introducing their kids to the world of residential real estate recently, this episode is a delightful mix of Karen's own challenges last year and what effect our minds play on our spiral of self betrayal.
