If you’ve ever found yourself wondering, “Is this hustle really what I signed up for?”—this episode is for you. Kim Borcherding and Rebecca Green sit down with Erin Bradley, a former snowboard instructor turned top-producing mortgage broker, who discovered the magic of designing a business that actually supports your life. Erin’s journey into the mortgage industry wasn’t traditional, but it led her to the Go-Giver philosophy and ultimately to building a coaching community focused on freedom, fulfillment, and flow.

In this conversation, Erin shares how building authentic relationships, setting intentional boundaries, and systematizing your business can transform not just your income—but your energy, mindset, and joy. She opens up about the myths of busyness, the power of being proactive, and why you don’t have to choose between success and sanity. We also talk about how customizing communication and honoring your energy rhythms can radically improve your results—and your quality of life.

Erin is the author of Pursuing Freedom, host of the podcast by the same name, and the founder of The Collective, a national community for agents and lenders who are ready to grow a business without burning out. She’s not here to sell you anything—just to bring her full self, real talk, and loads of value.

So whether you're driving between showings or sipping your morning coffee, join us for a conversation that might just change the way you think about real estate, success, and what’s truly possible when you build your business on purpose.
