13 February, 2025: Most stories about success focus on the wins, but The Realtor by Dawn Banksy is about the fight to get there. It’s about what it takes to unlearn the things you grew up believing, to parent differently than you were parented, and to find your voice when you were never taught to use it. It’s not just a memoir; it’s a look at what it means to break free from patterns that no longer serve you.

Dawn Banksy’s story begins in a strict, religious household where her words and choices were often controlled. Raised by a narcissistic parent, she entered adulthood with little confidence and a voice that barely felt like her own. As she moved through life, became a mother, and built a career as a realtor, she realized that she was still living under the weight of the past. And something had to change.

The Realtor is about that change—about realizing that you don’t have to repeat the cycles you were raised in. It’s about the work it takes to build a new version of yourself, even when doubt creeps in. It’s raw, honest, and deeply relatable for anyone who has ever questioned their worth, struggled with family dynamics, or tried to figure out who they are outside of the expectations placed on them.

But change isn’t easy. Dawn takes readers through the internal battles that come with rewriting your own story. The fear of failure. The guilt of stepping away from what is familiar, even when it’s toxic. The doubt that whispers, “What if I’m not strong enough?” Through her journey, she proves that transformation is messy, but it’s possible, as long as you have the will for it.

Her experience as a realtor adds another layer to her story. Just as she helps clients find new homes, she also had to learn how to create a new foundation for herself. She had to strip away the outdated, unstable structures of her past and rebuild something stronger—something that could hold the weight of the life she wanted to create.

What makes The Realtor stand out is its honesty. This isn’t a highlight reel of success—it’s the reality of what it takes to change your life from the inside out. Dawn doesn’t shy away from the hard parts. She talks about the moments she questioned herself, the times she felt like she wasn’t doing enough as a parent, and the challenges of balancing ambition with emotional healing.

This book is for anyone standing at the edge of change, wondering if they’re strong enough to step forward. Dawn Banksy proves that they are.
