Hello July! If you are in Arizona, you are definitely feeling this heat, every time I walk outside it feels like I am walking into an oven lol. But hopefully, wherever you're reading from, you're enjoying some summer sunshine. This month's Creatively Linked spotlight shines on Aftyn, a beautiful woman who brings sunshine wherever she goes – even after a tough evening workout! We met at the gym, pushing our limits and sharing laughs with our amazing trainer Zee. Aftyn is a charismatic force of nature and is also a total boss in the real estate world. Aftyn isn't just passionate about selling houses; she's passionate about empowering people to build the lives they deserve. Whether you're a first-time buyer or a seasoned investor, Aftyn brings a wealth of knowledge and a tenacious spirit to the table, ensuring a smooth and successful journey towards your dream home. But her dedication extends far beyond the closing table. As a mama, Aftyn understands the importance of creating a nurturing and secure space for your family. And on top of it all, she's the life of the party, someone who brings honesty and unwavering support to every friendship. Let's get into her interview and get ready to be inspired!
-
What is your creative talent? "My creative talent is helping people seek homeownership that never thought it would be possible, I love providing that support."
- What makes your heart smile? "My heart smiles when I’m with my family and we are enjoying life, we like to do a lot of outdoor activities (even in the heat lol)."
- What are some of your greatest accomplishments? "I have a few, I’ve overcome sexual abuse and definitely don’t look like what I’ve been through. I’m a mother to 3 beautiful children and a wife to a dope husband. I’ve graduated college and now run my own real estate business in such a highly competitive industry. I’ve found my happy place after years of searching for my lane. I never gave up on me."
- Tell us a little bit about your business. "I’m a Realtor in Arizona, and I help those looking to buy for the first time, those wanting to sell a property and/or if someone is looking to invest in a property. Purchasing a home is one of the most significant financial transactions a person will make in life, and I enjoy helping people create that sense of stability and being able to call it their own! So, if you’re thinking about buying a home, I can be reached via email aftyn@AftynOwensre.com or (602) 815-4091."
- What's the most valuable lesson you've learned throughout your journey that you'd like to share with younger people? "Your surroundings and representation matters. You’re going to face challenges but it's how you respond that defines you. Risks can allow for life changing experiences and lead you to newfound interests or hobbies. Regardless of what you do, have no regrets."
Aftyn's passion for empowering others to achieve homeownership is truly beautiful. She's not just a realtor; she's a facilitator of dreams and a beacon of inspiration. Her advice is full of wisdom, isn't it? "You're going to face challenges but it's how you respond that defines you" – that line hit me hard! It's a reminder that life throws curveballs, but it's our reaction that shapes who we become. Aftyn's story is a profound testament of resilience and strength. Her vulnerability and courage in sharing that she is a survivor of sexual abuse is deeply inspiring and powerful. Aftyn, thank you so much for sharing your story. You are an inspiration to so many, and your courage will undoubtedly help others who may be facing similar challenges find the strength to move forward and build a brighter future. If you or someone you know needs help, please contact the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 800-656-4673 or rainn.org. You are not alone. Her journey from overcoming adversity to building a successful business and beautiful family is a message of hope and possibility for everyone. I am so proud of everything she has accomplished! To call her a friend is an honor. Aftyn, you are definitely Creatively Linked!
