From Burnout to Belief with Bethany DeMaggio
Manage episode 477532075 series 3640390
Welcome back to The Uncensored Self Podcast.
In this episode, Ryann sits down with Bethany DeMaggio, a St. Louis-based real estate agent, to talk about the messy, nonlinear journey of building a business, rebuilding a life, and reclaiming your worth when everything falls apart. From waiting tables to building a thriving career in real estate—Bethany shares what it really looks like to keep going when you don’t have a backup plan.
In this episode, we cover:
Why your rock bottom isn’t the end—it’s a launchpad
How Bethany rebuilt her life (and career) from zero after divorce
The emotional toll of going from high-level sales to waiting tables—and how she held on to her self-worth
Why most agents never treat their business like a business—and how that’s costing them
This episode isn’t just about real estate—it’s about grit, self-leadership, and what happens when you play to win instead of playing to not lose.
Watch now and learn how to:
Shift your identity when the world sees you differently than you see yourself
Own your story—even the parts you’d rather hide
Build a sustainable business (without borrowing someone else’s blueprint)
Lead yourself when nobody’s clapping
