Today weâre diving into something thatâs been a game-changer for both of usâsetting boundaries as a form of self-care.
First up, letâs talk about social media. Weâve all been thereâgetting sucked into the endless scroll or making some sketchy hires (yes, weâre talking about the time we hired someone with a mugshot). Weâve learned the hard way and are now all about setting limits, like taking breaks and being super intentional about what we post. Trust us, your sanity will thank you!
Now, onto health. Weâre both gluten-free and mostly dairy-free, and let me tell you, itâs made a world of difference. Weâre big on treating our bodies like the racehorses they areâthink acupuncture, Pilates, and all the good stuff. Because at the end of the day, whatâs the point of building wealth if you donât feel good enough to enjoy it?
Weâd love to hear what boundaries youâre setting in your life. Share your tips with us in the comments, and donât forget to subscribe to stay on this journey with usâwhere wealth meets wellness. ___________________________________________________________________________

Caitlin and I are back with another episode of Invested & Rested. Today, Iâm sharing why I decided to pivot from short-term rentals back to long-term ones, and itâs been quite a journey!
When I found these two duplexes sharing a driveway, I thought, "What a deal!" We jumped into Airbnb with all the excitementâdoubling our cash flow sounded amazing. But reality check: it was a ton of work! Caitlin and I often laugh about the chaos, like that one time I had to break up a prom party at 10 PM in my pajamas. Not exactly my idea of fun!
The market's shifting, and honestly, weâre getting tired of the Airbnb hustle. So, weâre moving back to long-term rentals to regain some sanity and balance in our lives. Sometimes itâs more important to have peace of mind than extra cash.
Caitlin and I always emphasize the importance of checking in with your intuition. If something doesnât feel right anymore, itâs okay to change direction. Your investments should align with your lifestyle and goals. Thanks for listening! If youâre considering a change in your investment strategy, let us know in the comments or send us a message. And as always, please leave us a five-star review and subscribe for more episodes. Stay rested, friends, and weâll see you next time!

Hi friends! We're back with another episode, and today we're talking all about how Rianna got started in real estate.
Rianna here! I had no idea what I was doing when I first startedâno mentor, no help, and no clue about all the resources out there. Growing up in a small town in Minnesota, I moved to the Minneapolis suburbs after college. I quickly realized I didnât want a typical job. Despite selling Cutco knives and dabbling in MLMs, real estate always lingered in the back of my mind. My first real step was buying a house with roommates to help pay the mortgage. It was my way of testing the waters, and it went well.
Soon after, I bought another house on the same block, got my real estate license, and stopped working in property management for others to focus on my own investments. Fast forward, my boyfriend and I now have 12 properties, including a commercial office project we bought using equity from other properties. We also have a cabin up north thatâs our little escape from the world. Surrounded by trees and complete with a sauna, itâs the perfect getaway. We even bought the lot next door and are thinking about developing it into a glamping site or another cabin.
One big lesson I've learned is the importance of having mentors and not procrastinating. Asking for help has made everything easier. I was introduced to Bigger Pockets years ago but didn't get it until I started listening to their podcast. Now, I never say no to opportunities.
Thanks for joining us! Weâre excited to keep sharing our journey and helping you along yours. If you have any questions or comments, leave them on our YouTube or send us a DM on Instagram @investedandrested. We're here to help! See you next time!

Caitlin shares her story, from growing up in a real estate-savvy family in California to making her first investment. She talks about her early fascination with finance, buying her first Disney stock with money from selling her Barbies â talk about starting young!
Caitlinâs family has been in the real estate business for generations, from her grandmotherâs inspiring journey to her father and brotherâs careers, setting the stage for her own path. We explore Caitlinâs first rental property adventure, bought from her brother, and how it appreciated significantly over the years. She shares the challenges of managing this property while living in Switzerland, including navigating a new culture and language.

She details strategic moves like the 1031 exchange and partnering with friends and family to grow her real estate ventures.
There are plenty of laughs as Caitlin reminisces about her childhood obsession with the stock market and the amusing, sometimes chaotic experiences of property management â like stolen potted plants and trashed units. These stories reveal the less glamorous but very real side of real estate investing. Join us next week as we flip the script and explore Riannaâs journey in the world of investing!
