In this episode, we speak with Nancy Rodriguez from Love is Blind season 3. She speaks about her route to investing on real estate, the impact of the show after filming, reflecting from a backlash, and caring for our mental health. She also talks about the family support in the show, some advice for people who want to start in real estate, Pretty Posh Box, and her future plans. [2:29] Before Love is Blind “I just knew that although that was my passion, like truly what I wanted to do as my career, I also had this urgent side of me to wanna do more in the finance side.” [8:27] Portrayal in Reality Shows “It really was so much exposure of who we are and who we weren’t anymore. People really get to know us at a very intimate space at that time.” [15:08] Different Perspectives “I feel like the perspective that I had when I was on the show was very different from the gap, like the year and a half that we have to wait for the show to actually come out. It was a whole other perspective when I watched it for the first time…I haven’t really talked a lot about these in any of my interviews.” [18:38] People That Were Hurt “I won’t be sorry for what I said about my body… The dm’s or the comments that I received got so bad that I had to block words or certain phrases from my social media.” [23:07] The Takeaway “You should be having uncomfortable conversations with the people you love, because it will allow you to grow, it will allow you to learn.” [28:20] Positive Validation “These are conversations that I would have my heart broken a hundred times over if I knew that I was somehow impacting.” [29:58] Therapy and Mental Health “Mental health in general is truly something that we could at least try to learn and discover in ourselves and figure out which way to go about it.” [36:01] Family Support “They had doubts, they had concerns, and I just think that I am so proud… they just took it really well.” [42:09] Friendship and Relationship “There really was no reason for us to keep in contact… I want to have a partner in my life that I don’t feel like I’m bringing baggage.” [43:36] Starting On Real Estate “You got to understand your finances first… You cannot bring on a whole world of business or investment property, even just a home that you wanna live in, if you’re not really in a place where you truly understand.” [51:07]  Making Money  “The power that I had was the knowledge and excitement of ‘I want to keep being debt-free or ‘I want to create more cash flow’.” [56:30] Content Creating “The social media world is a whole other ball game, it’s a whole other job, and if you really like it, if you get into it, anybody could be an influencer.” [1:00:38] Pretty Posh Box “You rent, you return, and then you repeat… It’s a simple way to have trendy clothes.” [1:04:11] Manifesting “I want to be on a stage, talking to students.”   Follow Nancy on instagram @thenancyrodriguez Please download, rate & review this episode and share it with friends!  Connect with Kelly here: Follow Me on Instagram at @chaselifewithkelly  Follow Me on TikTok at @iamkellychase Subscribe to My YouTube Channel Book a Personalized Life Coaching or Strategy Call with Kelly or Request a Personalized Video Join the ChaseLife with Kelly Community!
