What inspired you to write "Fear Is Just a Four-Letter Word?"
After my first season on Million Dollar Listing, I noticed the lack of female voices discussing success in real estate and entrepreneurship. I knew my perspective would resonate with younger women entering the business and those reinventing their careers, and I felt a responsibility to women in my industry to speak up.
What signals true luxury in a home?
Space, light, and materials. What we define as luxury in a space often is about a feeling. True luxury flows effortlessly from space to space with its design and how light is captured in each room can create a certain mood and an experience. That, to me, defines true luxury.
How do you translate your personal style into your home?
My style has evolved with my fast-paced life. I prioritize comfort, subtle luxury, texture, and a sense of peace, with neutral colors and soft fabrics. I aim for timeless design while nodding to trends.

What’s one piece of advice to elevate a home?
Ditch recessed lighting and bad LED. Use mood lighting like lamps, chandeliers, and sconces for a warmer, more inviting atmosphere.
How would you curate the perfect ‘Five-Star Sleep Experience’ at home?
As a bedding connoisseur, I swear by the SFERRA Giza 45 collection for its perfect balance of elegance and comfort. It's handcrafted and stitched so it feels elevated without complicating it.
How do you approach investing in high-quality pieces for your home?
I focus on investment pieces in certain rooms, especially case goods (tables, chairs, vintage accessories) that elevate the space, while spending less on high-traffic items like rugs and sofas.
What drew you to SFERRA and why do you love it?
SFERRA's Italian craftsmanship and attention to detail, plus the durability of their linens, especially the Giza 45 collection, which only gets better with time.
What’s the best advice you’ve received about creating a home that reflects who you are?
Understand who you are and how you live. Then, work with a team that can execute your vision efficiently.
