Why 'Mastering Intentions' Beat Traditional Goal-Setting for This Real Estate Mogul and HBO Max Star

What happens when you achieve everything you thought you wanted but feel completely empty inside? Bianca D'Alessio, author of "Mastering Intentions," HBO Max's Selling Tampa star, and top real estate broker, found herself at the pinnacle of success—and completely burned out, isolated from family, and questioning everything.

In this raw conversation, Bianca breaks down the difference between toxic goal-setting and intentional living, sharing how her approach to success nearly cost her the relationships that mattered most. From her father's incarceration for financial fraud to her siblings staging an intervention in Sicily, she reveals how family trauma became the catalyst for rebuilding her leadership philosophy and ultimately writing "Mastering Intentions."

You'll discover:

  • Why "SMART goals" can become toxic traps that steal your joy
  • The powerful shift from metrics-based success to intention-based growth from "Mastering Intentions"
  • How appearing on HBO Max's Selling Tampa taught her to own her story—even the messy parts
  • Why perfectionism kills creativity and innovation in your team
  • The difference between managing people and creating "team-ship"
  • How to recruit for loyalty and trust over skillset alone

Bianca doesn't sugarcoat the reality of entrepreneurship: "One day you're the CEO, the other day you're the janitor." But she's learned that vulnerability, not perfection, creates the strongest teams. Her approach to writing intentions on glass walls instead of traditional goal-setting offers a fresh framework for building sustainable success.

Whether you're burning out from hustle culture, struggling with family dynamics while building your business, or ready to lead with authenticity instead of perfectionism, this episode will shift how you define winning.

Bianca D'Alessio is the author of "Mastering Intentions," a top real estate broker, and star of HBO Max's Selling Tampa. Her journey from family scandal to intentional leadership offers a blueprint for sustainable success.
