In this episode of The Underdog Podcast, Athena Brownson, Colorado real estate expert, shares her journey of transformation and resilience. From growing up as a professional skier to becoming a successful real estate broker, Athena has mastered the art of turning challenges into opportunities. Despite facing nine ACL surgeries, breaking her neck twice, and battling chronic Lyme disease for over eight years, she maintains a thriving real estate career while developing properties with her father.
Athena explains how her background as a competitive athlete provided the discipline and work ethic that fuels her success today. She candidly discusses her transition from interior design to real estate after a pivotal meeting with her mentor, who showed her how the profession could align with her values of helping people and building meaningful relationships.
She discusses her passion for health-conscious real estate, educating clients about potential environmental hazards in homes, from radon gas to mold issues. Athena also reveals her extreme sensitivity to electromagnetic frequencies (EMFs), which at one point forced her to live in an RV without electricity while still managing million-dollar real estate deals wearing lead gloves.
