    Jun 3 2026
    Welcome back to Nic & Nance: A Little Real, A Little Fancy! In this episode, Nicole Rousseau and Fancy Nancy are "rolling with it" after a guest mishap, leading to a candid conversation about the reality of being a high-producing "Queen" while managing professional slip-ups and "mom brain."

    We dive deep into the massive $880 million acquisition of RE/MAX by Real Brokerage and discuss how the industry is shifting toward a handful of "heavy hitter" companies. Plus, Nicole shares her experience with the "Glow Stack" and "Wolverine" peptides for anti-inflammation and skin quality (disclaimer: we aren't doctors!).

    In this episode, we cover:
    ✅ Giving Grace: How to handle professional mistakes and missed appointments with authenticity.
    ✅ 2026 Market Update: The impact of gas prices, inflation, and summer camp costs on the average family.
    ✅ Conference Takeaways: Lessons from Girls with Grit and the "Unreasonable Hospitality" of stocking a client's fridge.
