Episode 9: Rejection Is Protection with Ruthie Baker
🎙 Episode 9: Rejection Is Protection — What Real Estate “No’s” Are Actually Saving You From
Oof, this one hit deep. I sat down with my sweet friend + Socially Sold grad @ruthieshouseandhome and we had a real convo about the rejection that stings the most — losing a listing you thought was yours.
But what if that “no” was actually saving you from burnout, chaos, or misalignment?
We talk about how rejection can actually clear the path for the dream clients who are on their way — and how to stay grounded when the business feels messy.
Here’s what we dive into:
✨ How to handle the listing you lose (and still show up with love)
✨ Ruthie’s “ice cream” analogy that’ll change how you view rejection forever
✨ Why “not getting the deal” can be the BEST thing for your business (and your sanity)
✨ The 2-hour rule Ashley uses every time she gets knocked down
✨ What Ruthie’s business looked like before joining Socially Sold
✨ The exact mindset + strategy shifts that helped her start attracting dream clients on Instagram
✨ Why it’s OK (and actually smart) to only want to sell 20-30 houses a year — not 100
✨ How to build a business that fills your pocket AND your soul
This one’s gonna be your go-to episode when real estate feels heavy. Because yes, we talk about strategy — but more than anything, we remind you that your business is allowed to feel aligned, authentic, and FUN.
