🔥🎙️ GUEST REVEAL: KIMBERLY FRASER 🎙️🔥

Meet Kimberly Fraser, a powerhouse real estate leader whose success was built through resilience, hard work, service, and an unwavering commitment to keep rising. 💫

Kim became a single mother raising six children while building a multimillion-dollar real estate business. Then, during the 2007-2009 downturn, she lost millions, and instead of staying down, she rebuilt her business and came back stronger than ever. 🔥

Her approach to success is refreshingly human:
✨ Connect before you sell.
✨ Lead with value, not pressure.
✨ Know your strengths.
✨ Serve people exceptionally well.
✨ Treat people with the respect and kindness you want to receive.

Kim’s journey is a powerful example of what can happen when resilience meets action, service, and an unwillingness to quit.

Peggy Delano’s story reminds us that we don’t have to keep living the same story. Through grief, addiction, self-doubt, leadership, and reinvention, she learned to choose truth, boundaries, connection, and purpose. Her message is simple: question the beliefs holding you back, surround yourself w...

STOP TRYING TO BE GOOD AT EVERYTHING. 🔥

You don't need the perfect business plan.

You don't need the perfect career path.

You don't even need to know exactly how you're going to get there.

You need clarity on YOU.

DeVante Blow shares a powerful business lesson:

👉 Know your strengths.
👉 Know your weaknesses.
👉 Find your highest and best use.
👉 Do what you do best and hire out the rest.

If you're a 3 at something and can realistically become a 5… why spend all your energy trying to make it a 10?

Instead, take the things you're already great at and turn those 10s into 20s. 🚀

That's where your real leverage can come from.

🎙️ Heather Mansy sits down with DeVante Blow on Women Who Rise.

💬 What is one thing you should STOP doing yourself and start delegating?

Caroline Brown never thought this would be part of her story.

But sometimes our fear of visibility isn't about what's happening today.

It's connected to what happened years ago.

Being laughed at.
Feeling embarrassed.
Making a mistake.
Feeling judged.

And eventually, the nervous system can learn:

“Being seen = danger.”

Caroline shares how she began changing that pattern not by forcing herself into massive moments, but through small steps.

✨ Run the workshop.
✨ Speak to the group.
✨ Stay present in the conversation.
✨ Let yourself be seen.
✨ Then celebrate the win.

🔥 Confidence grows when you repeatedly prove to yourself that you can handle being seen.

You don't have to take the biggest step.

Take the next one.

WHAT IF FEAR IS THE ONLY THING BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR NEXT LEVEL? 👀🔥

After 8 years at an Italian restaurant, DeVante Blow knew he had peaked.

He knew there was something more.

But taking the leap meant betting on himself and he was scared.

He grew up on Whidbey Island hearing the saying that people who leave eventually come back.

He didn't want to take the risk… fail… and end up back where he started.

But sometimes, the hardest part isn't knowing what you want.

It's having the courage to go after it.

🎙️ Heather Mansy sits down with DeVante Blow on Women Who Rise to talk about fear, courage, entrepreneurship, and making the leap when you don't have all the answers.

💬 What would you do if fear wasn't making the decision for you?

How many times have you thought:

“I'm just a people pleaser. That's who I am.”

Caroline Brown wants to challenge that belief.

People pleasing isn't necessarily your personality.

It can be a protection pattern something your body learned to help you feel safe.

And if it was learned, it can be unlearned. 🔥

You can learn to:

✨ Say no without guilt
✨ Stop shrinking to make others comfortable
✨ Trust your own voice
✨ Set boundaries
✨ Choose authenticity over approval

🎙️ Heather Mansy sits down with Caroline Brown on Women Who Rise.

You are not your patterns. You can change them.

👇 Have you ever caught yourself people pleasing even when you wanted to say no?

STOP OVERTHINKING. START MOVING. 🔥

How many great ideas have you talked yourself out of before you even tried?

DeVante Blow says the cure is simple:

IMMEDIATE. IMPERFECT. ACTION.

We spend so much time questioning our ideas, our businesses, and even ourselves that we never give them the chance to succeed.

You don't need perfect.

You need ACTION.

The yeses will come.
The no’s will come.
The failures will come.

And that's the point.

Every failure builds the calluses you need to keep moving toward success. 💪

🎙️ Heather Mansy sits down with DeVante Blow on Women Who Rise to talk about taking action, betting on yourself, and turning ideas into reality.

💬 What is ONE thing you've been overthinking that you need to take action on?

How often do you ignore that little voice inside telling you:

“Yes, this is for me.”

or

“No, this isn't right for me.”

Caroline Brown says we've been taught not to trust that inner knowing.

And when you constantly push past what your body is telling you, you can unintentionally teach yourself:

“I don't trust you.”

But self-trust can be practiced.

Start small.

🥚 Do I want eggs or not?
🚪 Do I want to go there or not?
💡 What does a YES feel like?
🛑 What does a NO feel like?

The more you listen, the clearer that inner voice can become.

🔥 You don't always need to push harder. Sometimes you need to listen deeper.

🎙️ Heather Mansy sits down with Caroline Brown on Women Who Rise.

👇 When was the last time your intuition told you something and you actually listened?

🏀 STOP CHASING THE 3-POINTER. TAKE THE LAYUP.

Here's a business lesson from basketball that every entrepreneur needs to hear. 🔥

DeVante Blow uses Steph Curry to explain something simple:

Sometimes we're so obsessed with hitting the BIG shot that we overlook the easy ones.

🏀 The phone call you haven't made.
🏀 The follow-up you've been avoiding.
🏀 The relationship you haven't nurtured.
🏀 The opportunity that's already sitting in front of you.

We're chasing the three-pointer when there's a layup waiting.

And here's the thing:

You don't have to make the hardest move to make progress.

Take the shot you know you can make.

Then take another.

Then another.

That's how momentum is built. 🚀

🎙️ Heather Mansy sits down with DeVante Blow on Women Who Rise.

🔥 Stop overcomplicating success. Find your layup and take it.

👇 What's the layup you've been overlooking in your business?
