Leslie Beck had built a successful real estate brokerage in Denver, but in 2024, after a year of soul-searching and health challenges, she realized something wasn’t working. Her business no longer felt aligned with her purpose.
So, she made a bold move: she closed her brokerage, joined milehimodern, and launched Divorce Curious™, a workshop series and coaching program for women navigating divorce and new beginnings.
In this episode, Leslie shares:
What triggered her transformation (and how a 3am wake-up call played a role)
Why walking away from something successful is sometimes the most aligned decision
How she combines real estate with divorce coaching to support women holistically
The importance of values, messaging, and knowing who you’re meant to serve
Her approach isn’t just white-glove real estate, it’s full-spectrum support: from home buying to healing to personal styling.
Leslie's story is proof that you don’t have to do everything, you just have to do what’s yours to do.
