Do your brilliant ideas come to you while you’re in the shower?

In this episode of 'Women and Money: The Shit We Don't Talk About’, we’re talking about turning great ideas into action with our guest Karen Cooper. Karen is a wife, mom to three sons, and the co-owner of the Platinum Group Real Estate Team at Real Brokerage, alongside her business partner Vicky Noufal. Based in Northern Virginia, their powerhouse team of 50+ exceptional women and moms now serves clients nationwide with agents located across the United States.

Karen shares how her initial 'shower thought' led to the foundation of Empowering Women in Real Estate, a community that now boasts 30,000 members! We talk about financial independence, burnout, mindset importance, and the impact of community and support systems for women. Karen emphasizes the value of setting boundaries, investing into yourself, and the belief that slow, consistent action leads to significant growth!
