🎙️ Episode 31: More Than Real Estate - Mom guilt in your Real Estate Business
In this personal episode, Ashley tackles the complex challenge of balancing motherhood and a thriving real estate career. She shares her own journey of overcoming mom guilt through intentional boundaries and structured time management, offering a refreshingly honest perspective on what it takes to succeed in both roles without constant compromise.
Here's what you'll discover:
✨ The Mom Guilt Reality Check: Ashley reveals why she doesn't struggle with excessive mom guilt anymore - it's not about being perfect, but about having non-negotiable boundaries that protect both her business and her family time.
✨ Childcare Strategy Framework: Learn Ashley's approach to structured childcare (Monday/Wednesday/Friday) and how this intentional schedule allows her to be 100% present as both a realtor and a mom instead of constantly half-focusing on both.
✨ The Half-Present Problem: Discover why being physically present but mentally distracted on your phone creates more mom guilt than having dedicated work time - and how to break this cycle with clear boundaries.
✨ Instagram as a Mom-Friendly Lead Source: How building your business through social media lets you generate leads during nap times, carpool lines, and other small pockets of your day - unlike traditional lead gen methods that take you away from family.
✨ The "When/Then" Communication Strategy: How to talk to your kids about work interruptions in a way that builds trust - "When mommy finishes this call, then we'll play Ocean Bingo" - rather than empty promises.
✨ The Personal Brand Advantage: Understand why sharing glimpses of your life as a mom actually builds authenticity in your real estate brand, helping clients connect with you before they ever meet you.
✨ The Tough Love Truth: Why Ashley believes many children will end up in therapy discussing their parents' phone addictions - and her practical approach to breaking this cycle in your real estate business.
