S6 EP #8 | Amy Chang on the Unwritten Rules Women Navigate in Real Estate and Wealth

What are the unwritten rules women learn in real estate, investing, entrepreneurship, and leadership spaces? In this episode of SARE Ladies, we sit down with Dr. Amy Chiang - founder of Forma Leaders and Transforma Systems, creator of the FORMA® methodology, and author of Survival Identity: The Hidden Patterns Running Your Work, Leadership, and Life - to unpack the identity-level patterns shaping how women lead, perform, build wealth, and navigate high-pressure industries. After spending more than two decades consulting Fortune 100 companies across technology, energy, and financial services, Dr. Chiang began noticing the same hidden patterns beneath burnout, overperformance, people pleasing, and the constant pressure to prove yourself — especially for women and people of color navigating spaces with unwritten rules. In this conversation, we explore: * Why successful women still don’t feel safe * The hidden emotional cost of constantly proving yourself * Survival mode vs authentic ambition * The psychology of women in real estate and wealth-building spaces * Why competence becomes performance * The immigrant survival patterns shaping money and leadership * Overworking, burnout, and hyper-independence * Identity, visibility, and power in male-dominated industries * What authentic leadership looks like beyond survival mode If you’ve ever: * felt like you had to work twice as hard to belong * overprepared before walking into a room * tied your worth to productivity * struggled to rest even after achieving success * felt financially successful but emotionally unsafe …this episode is for you.

S6 EP #7 | How Jesse Vasquez pencils his deals and has the MTR buzz cooled off?

In this special live-recorded episode of the SARE Ladies Podcast, Anita and Ashley sit down at Jesse Vasquez’s modesto home for a candid conversation on the real state of mid-term rentals in 2026. From guru culture and viral reels to real margins, furnishing costs, vacancy risk, and operational burnout — this episode pulls back the curtain on what the MTR business actually looks like today. Jesse breaks down the back-of-the-napkin math he personally uses to evaluate deals, how he has a relationship worth $2M, what numbers investors are projecting too aggressively, and why many properties, markets, and even personalities are simply wrong for MTR. We also dive into the cooling buzz around the asset class, what operationally changed over the last few years, and whether smaller operators can still compete in an increasingly crowded space. The conversation goes beyond spreadsheets into hospitality, tenant experience, B2B outreach, and the small details that quietly kill repeat business. If you’ve ever wondered: * Is MTR still worth it? * What actually makes a deal pencil? * Or whether the “passive income” narrative was oversold… …this episode is for you. 👤 MEET THE GUEST🔗 About Jesse Vasquez: Jesse Vasquez is a real estate operator and educator who specializes in mid-term rental strategy. After spending 18 years in healthcare, he made a pivot into real estate and built a seven-figure portfolio spanning 24 properties across California and Texas. Today, he shares the systems, lessons, and practical frameworks that helped him scale, and has guided more than 600 students in building their own profitable mid-term rental businesses.
