From No Plan to Purpose: Sandy DeAngelis On Building Community & A Life She Loves

Episode Notes

In this episode of Click With Rona, Rona sits down with Sandy DeAngelis—realtor, community builder, and the driving force behind the Floral Park Home & Garden Tour.

Sandy shares her incredible journey from small-town South Carolina to California, including the bold decision to drive across the country alone in pursuit of something more. With no clear plan, she built a life rooted in curiosity, connection, and community.

From helping shape one of Southern California’s most unique neighborhoods to leading a 30+ year home tour that funds scholarships and local initiatives, Sandy proves that success doesn’t require a straight path—just the courage to take the next step.

This conversation is filled with stories, wisdom, and inspiration for anyone building a life, business, or community.
