Not Just a Pretty Face: The Science Behind Healthy Interiors
Susan Burks isn’t your stereotypical interior designer. She works from the inside out – bringing alive interiors that nurture the well beings of their inhabitants. Her voice alone is soothing and calming, as you’ll hear when you tune into this special interview.
Highlights:
Humans learned early to recognize patterns, safety, beauty – a necessary part of surviving. No wonder we respond (positively, neutrally or negatively) to our home surroundings.
We are neurologically wired to vibrate differently with different colors.
Thoughtful interior design can improve our lives in astounding ways.
Susan starts with the furnishings and arts that clients already own, rather than thinking about acquiring new things.
Unifying all the spaces of a home is her chief goal.
None of us can be the voice of reason for ourselves as well as we can do it for others. This applies to all sorts of professional relationships.
When it comes to home design, where can we make the biggest impact with the budget that we have?
Visual noise – where there’s too much clutter – usually has an undesired effect on humans.
Books, magazines and journals in our spaces remind us of our creative selves.
“I’m allowed into people’s private lives in a way that is very privileged,” says Susan
“I will always be Switzerland in the conversation (between couples).”
At the outset: You’re going to have disagreements. Not everything is going to go right. Some things will not happen according to schedule. So let’s be ready for that.
Coordinating between contractor and client is nuanced and important.
The core of interior design is thinking about how we care for ourselves, not how something looks.

Women in Real Estate: A Guide to Success
Cathy Sommerville is an inspiration to and support for women in real estate, with two-plus decades of on-the-ground experience as an agent and a thriving practice as a coach for others. In this heart-full conversation, she and Cynthia talk about the particular challenges that women in the industry face and offer some wisdom about how others can “grow and upgrade.”
Highlights:
Real estate gives you the opportunity to “Create a good business but also grow strong wings as an individual.”
“You have to work at the pace of the relationship… All the technology in the world doesn’t take the place of the relationship”
We don’t have a clip of the steak-cutting scene from Mr. Mom, but here’s another fun clip from that movie. https://youtu.be/zBLsO7BKVHw?si=YDHn6fpTQpor6Ai8
If we want to succeed as Realtors, we have to “shift from having an agenda to being on an adventure.”
“High stress does not lead to high performance.
Tune in to hear what is meant by “fiduciary fairy.”
“It’s very easy to be the smartest person in the room when everyone else is drinking,” and more about women and alcohol abuse

“Nobody wants to be told what to do, but everybody wants to know what’s possible.”
The concept of “both and” rather than “either or.”
