A young couple sat at their kitchen table in Bartlett, talking over each other. Pinterest boards, budget fears, permit questions, contractor horror stories from friends. They'd been saving for three years and didn't want to get it wrong.
I let them go. I'm a delta girl. People get where they need to go if you give them room.
When they paused, I asked one question: "What does your morning look like in this kitchen?"
Angie started slow. Bob listened, really listened, maybe for the first time in the whole conversation. Twenty minutes later, they'd talked themselves to clarity. They just needed someone to sit with them while they figured it out.
Showing up is most of it. Listening is most of the rest. I help people make real decisions before the sledgehammer swings, and I stay in their corner until the project's done.
