Dealing With Loss While Keeping Your Real Estate Biz Running • Breakthrough With Michael • Michael Opyd

Author: D.J. Paris May 14, 2026 Duration: 47:52

Emma closed over $6 million her first year as a real estate agent. Then her grandfather died, and everything she had built started to feel impossible. She arrived at this conversation burned out, stuck in negative self-talk, and unsure if she could become the agent she used to be.

In the debut episode of Breakthrough with Michael, Emma uncovers what has actually been weighing on her, where her drive went, and how her grandfather’s memory fits into the work she does now.

No scripts. No lead generation tactics. A conversation about what’s underneath the numbers when an agent loses their footing.
