💌 Send us a Text, We love to hear from you!

Today we’re pulling up a chair for Kelsey O’Connor — Hamptons realtor, personal stylist, founding Power Haus partner, and forever fashion girl.

From designing looks in high school and navigating the fashion world in NYC to launching a full real estate career (and new brand) in the Hamptons, Kelsey’s journey is all about evolution without losing your edge. We talk about what it’s really like to start over — from city hustle to beach town pace — and how she’s merging two industries that don’t usually mix: high fashion and high-end homes.

This episode dives into reinvention, Curated (her new fashion-meets-real-estate brand), and the unexpected power of knowing your personal style — in business and in life.

✨ What we get into:

  • Leaving the city… but keeping the edge
  • Starting over as a new agent in a saturated market
  • From NYFW to Serhant: making bold career pivots
  • Why personal style still matters — even in real estate
  • Launching her brand Curated (and what’s next)
  • Networking, personal branding, and building trust with clients
  • Kelsey’s hot takes: which drinks are a scam and why “quirky” isn’t a compliment
