We had the good fortune of connecting with Iya Koh and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Iya, can you share a quote or affirmation with us?
“Everything you’ve ever wanted is on the other side of fear. ”

It is human nature to seek out what is familiar and to avoid the things that truly make us uncomfortable. This is the reason why we have a fear of the unknown. But fear is such a powerful and crippling emotion that can prevent us from taking risks and doing things that could help us grow. This affirmation serves as my personal reminder that in order to do better and to progress in life, I have to get out of my comfort zone, abandon limiting beliefs, and let go of fear. It is definitely a challenge to do this every day but this quote helps me muster the courage to get over my fears and go for my goals.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I have been a dental hygienist for four years and have decided to become a Realtor in 2021. Changing careers and shifting industries is always interesting as it involves a lot of learning and discoveries along the way. Going into a saturated market such as Colorado, competition can be tough. But being in the health industry for years has provided me with skills to be able to listen well and to always put other people’s best interests at heart. In providing service to my clients, I truly believe that educating and informing them is a great way to allow them to make wise decisions.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I enjoy hiking and since the Foothills is so close to the city, several trips are a must. Evergreen, Golden, and Conifer trails are a few of my favorites. I also enjoy concerts and shows. I always make sure friends get to experience Red Rocks.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Shoutout to my husband, Jason Koh, who always believes I can do more and be more!
