In Episode 3 of The Barely Balanced Agent, Larissa and Sarah dive into one of the hardest skills in real estate: setting boundaries.

In a business where clients expect quick responses, constant availability, and nonstop communication, it can feel impossible to protect your time without feeling like you're dropping the ball.

We talk honestly about: • Managing the workload and mental load of being a real estate agent • The pressure to respond to every text immediately • Setting realistic client communication expectations • Creating business hours that actually work • Protecting time for family while still delivering great service

If you've ever felt like you're “always on” in your business, this conversation will remind you that boundaries aren't bad for business — they're essential for longevity.

Because being a great agent shouldn't mean sacrificing your sanity.

In this episode of The Barely Balanced Agent, we’re diving into the tools and systems helping us keep our businesses running while life is… well… life.

From AI tools and business automations to the little hacks that help us remember all the things, we’re sharing what’s actually helping us stay organized and efficient as busy real estate agents and moms.

Of course, it wouldn’t be Barely Balanced without a few real-life stories — including poop questions, mom moments, and the constant lesson of learning which battles are actually worth fighting.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re juggling clients, kids, and chaos all at the same time, this episode is for you.

Expect real talk about: • AI tools and automations that save us time • Systems that keep us from forgetting everything • Mom-life chaos behind the scenes • Learning to pick your battles (at work and at home)

Because sometimes balance isn’t perfect — it’s just doing the best you can with the tools you’ve got.

Welcome to the very first episode of The Barely Balanced Agent!

Hosts Larissa and Sarah introduce themselves and share the stories behind how they each ended up in real estate, what their lives look like outside of work, and why they decided to start this podcast.

In this episode we talk about:

• How we each got started in real estate

• The realities of building a business while raising kids

• The mindset shifts that helped us push through the tough seasons

• Why we created this podcast for agents who feel like they’re juggling everything

This podcast is for the agents, parents, and entrepreneurs who are building big dreams while navigating the messy middle of life.

Because the truth is… none of us are perfectly balanced.

We’re just barely balanced.
