Should You Still Buy Your First House In 2026? | Mortgages & Mimosas #2
In this episode of Mortgages and Mimosas, Nobu Musekiwa breaks down why waiting for the “perfect time” to buy your first house may be keeping you stuck.
Nobu shares how the words and opinions we hear every day can quietly shape what we believe, how we see the world, and the decisions we make, especially when it comes to money, homeownership, and building wealth on your own.
She challenges the idea that “now is not a good time to buy” and explains why the better question is what you need to know in order for any time to be the right time for you. Nobu walks through why research is helpful, but taking real steps, like talking to mortgage lenders, checking your credit, and learning what gaps you need to close, gives you the clarity you cannot get from thinking alone.
If you are waiting on the sidelines to buy your first house because you feel like everything needs to be perfect first, this episode is a must-listen.

Why Making the "Right" Decision Is Keeping You Stuck | Mortgages & Mimosas #1
In this episode of Mortgages and Mimosas, Nobu Musekiwa shares a simple way to make better decisions when you’re standing at a crossroads and struggling to choose between two important options.
Drawing from a decision she had to make while balancing competing priorities, Nobu explains why trying to predict every possible outcome can keep you stuck—and introducesone powerful question that can help you move forward with confidence: If you knew 100% that you would succeed, which option would you choose?
She also explores why even decisions that don’t turn out the way you expected can still lead to something better, and why spending less time worrying about making the “perfect” choice gives you more time to take the actions that create the freedom and options you want in life.
