College came to a close just shy of completing her senior year when Luxury Real Estate became the apple of her eye. She took a leap of faith and dove headfirst into her raw excitement. She was ready to learn and face all of the challenges the career could provide. She just wasn’t prepared for opposition from those she hoped would be her mentors. Yet again, faced with remarks that her dreams were beyond what she could produce. Even to this day, she’s felt the eye roll of doubt around Smart is the New Sexy.
Even through years of self-doubt and the doubt of others, a complicated divorce from her first husband, momentous financial failures, and the death of close family members, she’s chosen to push through and prove them all wrong.
Her divorce clouded her identity for a while and she needed to rediscover who she was. She put real estate on hold and returned to school to study Fine Arts & TV Production with a minor in journalism. Flash forward and you’ll see the direct correlation to Smart is the New Sexy. It just took her a decade to really find her confidence and be in front of the camera.
This confidence was shaped from active self-discovery but also listening and connecting with others' stories of challenge and triumph. Their stories enabled her to take steps to truly change course and subsequently experience real love and build upon a successful career.
Today, at the helm of Smart is the New Sexy, she feels more empowered now than ever before. Empowered Women Empower Women.
Smart Is The New Sexy has also been recognized by local Chicago and national broadcasts. You can watch these features on WGN, Fox 32, CBS Chicago, Ivanhoe Broadcasting, and more by visiting https://www.arsiak.com/
