In psychotherapy, the concept of home transcends mere bricks and mortar and location location location. Home becomes a stand-in for one's body, soul and emotional landscape. With guest Nick Sholley, Cynthia delves into the deeper meanings of home and real estate, and how that might affect a property search, the job of agenting and a life well lived.

Why real estate is first and foremost about home, not investment
What makes real estate as a noble practice
Why Loki, Coyote or Crow aren’t good role models for Realtors
Fiduciary duty is like ethical responsibility or a medical standard of care
A recitation of part of “One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish” by Dr. Seuss
The hermit crab analogy
Young adults’ relationships to home can be like a cat wanting to be let out and then wanting to be let in
Home as extension of self
Shop for an agent before you shop for a house
Find a ritual for saying goodbye to a home
The importance of the threshold moment
“Home is meeting ourselves right where we are.”
