Welcome to ’Real Talk with Kara Jones,’ where I, an average girl in her 20s, is just trying to figure it all out. This podcast highlights my journey through life, real estate, relationships, and everything else you can possibly think of.
Each episode is like a heart-to-heart chat with a close friend. I bring on guests who spill the beans on their own real-life experiences, adding layers of authenticity to our conversations. The goal? To build a community where we can collectively navigate the twists and turns of life, one story at a time and help those find insight on topics they aren’t quite sure about.
Join me as I share the ups and downs of my own journey and invite others to do the same. We’re all in this together, and ’Real Talk’ is not just a podcast; it’s a place for us to learn, grow, and find excitement in the shared human experience.
Expect a mix of insights, laughter, and maybe even a few ”aha” moments as we explore the key ingredients to a fulfilling life. Let’s make our day-to-day a little brighter by connecting, sharing stories, and educating each other on the beautiful chaos that is life.
This is ’Real Talk with Kara Jones,’ and I’m thrilled to have you on this adventure with me!

Manifesting Your Dream Life and Going All In (with Rachel Kreager)
Welcome back to another week of 'Real Talk with Kara Jones' featuring a very special guest, Rachel Kreager. As a current content producer for the Kings, Rachel talks about her journey from a 9-5 to pursuing her passion for photography and videography as well as the world of sports.
Every year we get together and talk about our goals (which has since turned into manifesting)...we share our path with manifesting and how it's changed our lives. Looking forward, we talk about going all in, betting on yourself, and trying everything because nothing is truly permanent.
If you want specifics on how to start your manifesting journey, reach out and we'll walk you through it. Thanks for tuning in & go niners! Xx

The Power of Being Alone
Just a quick rant (if I do say so myself) about the power of being alone and what being content alone can do for you and your life. I've grown tremendously over the last year or two while leaning in to myself and finding comfort and confidence in my own company.
I challenge you to go do something by yourself this week, whether it's watch a movie, grab a bite to eat, or sit in the park, and just see where your mind goes, how you feel, and all the things that come with it. Post it to your socials and tag me; I'll repost. 2024 is the year of YOU and I hope this episode gives you the confidence to lean in to your power!
As always, thanks for listening. XX Kara

This is 15 Years of Friendship
In this episode of 'Real Talk with Kara Jones' I welcome my best friend of over 15 years, Kelsey Harrigan, onto the show. We talk about life growing up together, the ups and downs of our friendship, and some of our favorite memories together.
My hopes with this episode is to bring to light the importance of having someone in your corner that you can count on, experience life with, and share the highest highs and lowest lows with knowing that they always have your back. If you haven't found that person, don't stop searching.
Big thanks to Kelsar for being such a staple in my life for so long. I wouldn't want to be doing life without you. Love always, Kara.
Thanks for tuning in!

5 Tips to Homeownership in 2024 (with Tyler Madigan)
On this week's episode I welcome on Tyler Madigan, a mortgage loan officer in CA, to the show. We talk about 5 key tips to homeownership in 2024 or beyond. We can't say whether or not homeownership is the right move for you without talking in depth, but if it is something on your goal list for this year or the new future, this episode is for you.
The 5 key takeaways are:
1. Talk to a professional.
2. Save as much money as possible.
3. Improve your credit score.
4. Keep a steady work income (we debunk the myth that you have to work at the same place for 2 years in order to buy).
5. Be realistic when it comes to searching for a home.
Let us know what other specific questions you have about home buying and we'd love to answer them!

What Being in Real Estate is Actually Like (with Sharon Laraway)
On this week's episode of 'Real Talk with Kara Jones' I am joined by my coworker and dear friend, Sharon, to talk about all things real estate that people don't talk about.
We dive into the fees associated with real estate, how long it took us to make our first sale (a very long time), being rejected and ghosted by clients, and even how clients will treat you poorly as an agent. If you have no interest being in real estate, this episode will hopefully bring to light ways you can make your real estate agent's life better when you go to purchase a home in the future.
As always, let me know what you want to hear and how I can bring value to you by getting real about a topic. Cheers and thanks for the support!

Overcoming Disordered Eating and Compulsive Exercise Tendencies
In this episode of 'Real Talk with Kara Jones' we talk about all things disordered eating and compulsive exercise. Based off of your responses to Episode 1 and my experience as a Division 1 athlete, I felt that diving deeper into this topic would only be right. I specifically talk about my experience during college, seeking male validation, compulsively working out, and ultimately malnourishing myself just to look and feel good in my body. It took an achilles rupture, naew relationship, finding a routine, and going all in on myself to change my habits and find peace with my body. I hope something in this episode resonates with you and if you ever need anything, I'm here!
As promised, here is my ClassPass code: 2 Weeks FREE (https://classpass.com/refer/7RCP7HB021?utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=raf_pre_reservation&utm_content=MzIxMDM1MjQ%3D) (https://classpass.com/refer/7RCP7HB021 (https://classpass.com/refer/7RCP7HB021))
Use it, message me, and let's take a class! Thanks for tuning in. Please leave a review, like, comment, subscribe - all the things - so we can continue getting down and dirty about all REAL things.
