Now on Spotify: The Thrive Cord Series Audiobooks in English, Spanish, and Arabic
I've been looking forward to writing this one. The Thrive Cord Series is now available as audiobooks on Spotify.
When I started writing these books, I wanted them to reach people wherever they are: a new agent between showings, a first-time buyer on a commute, a family member who would rather listen than read. Audio does that. You can press play in the car, on a walk, or on a flight and let the ideas sink in.
There are five audiobooks, in three languages:
Unlocking the Dream: One Woman's Journey from Doubt to Homeownership (English, about 47 minutes)
Sarah Malone's story, from a cramped apartment and nine lies about money, credit, and worth to the keys of her own front door.
Thrive in Year One: The New Agent's Guide to Success (English)
The nine strands of the Thrive Cord (courage, perseverance, gratitude, resourcefulness, focus, identity, collaboration, endurance, and connection) as a practical playbook for a new agent's first year.
Prospera en el Primer Año: Guía para el Éxito de Nuevos Agentes (Spanish, about 46 minutes)
Thrive in Year One for Spanish-speaking agents.
Desbloqueando el Sueño (Spanish, about 51 minutes)
Unlocking the Dream in Spanish.
Thrive in Year One - Arabic Translation: The New Agent's Guide to Success (Arabic, about 54 minutes)
النجاح في السنة الأولى: دليل الوكيل الجديد للنجاح
Each audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. On Spotify the author credits read: Annette DiResta, Brooke Apuakea DiResta, Trevor Keahi DiResta.
You can also search "Thrive Cord" or "Annette DiResta" in the Spotify app.

Why audio matters to me
Over the years I've watched capable people lose momentum because the day never left room to learn, not because they lacked talent. Commutes and flights used to feel like lost hours. They don't have to be. Listen to a chapter on courage before a hard conversation, or one on perseverance when the market goes quiet. The Thrive Cord is meant to be lived, not read once and put on a shelf.
If one of these books helps you, I'd love to hear about it. And if you know a new agent, a first-time buyer, or a Spanish- or Arabic-speaking friend who could use some encouragement, please pass it along.
