Kristina, Your Host
Hey there!
I’m Kristina Crosbie a Canadian mortgage agent of 15 years, a mom of three, and the founder of Broker Life Socials.
I’ve been in this industry long enough to see what really moves the needle for mortgage brokers… and what keeps them stuck.
I started my career in underwriting at Genworth (now Sagen), worked my way into full-time brokering, and eventually built a second business helping brokers with the piece most of us struggle with; staying visible, consistent, and connected to the people who need us.
Over the years, I’ve learned that success in this industry isn’t about doing more. It’s about doing the right things… with confidence, simplicity, and support.
Inside this podcast, I bring everything I’ve learned from:
• funding thousands of files
• coaching overwhelmed brokers
• running Broker Life Socials
• building email lists, automations, funnels, and content that actually converts
• and juggling real life at the same time, school drop-offs, hockey rinks, and everything in between.
My goal?
To help you show up with more clarity, more confidence, and more freedom… without burning out or feeling like you need to be everywhere at once.
If you’re a mortgage broker who wants simple, doable marketing that actually grows your business you’re in the right place.
And I’m so glad you’re here.
