🎙️ Episode 32: More Than Real Estate - It's Okay to Take a Breather in your RE Business (during the holidays)
In this solo episode, Ashley gives you full permission to step off the hamster wheel and stop the "24/7 hustle" that leads to burnout. She breaks down exactly how to build a business that supports your life—not one that consumes it—by implementing strategic breaks that actually help you speed up in the long run.
Here's what you'll discover:
✨ The "Hustle Trap" Reality: Why the traditional male-dominated model of "grinding" 24/7 doesn't work for women (and especially moms), and why you need to reject the guilt of slowing down.
✨ The "Micro-Breather" Strategy: How to schedule non-negotiable self-care appointments—like a 90-minute massage or a 45-minute morning walk—into your calendar with the same respect and priority you give a listing appointment.
✨ The 20% Flexibility Rule: Learn how to build enough margin in your business to handle real-life moments (like a toddler refusing school) with grace, instead of stress-spiraling because your schedule is too packed.
✨ The "Mom AND" Identity: Ashley’s powerful framework for rejecting the identity crisis. You don’t have to choose between being a present mom or a successful agent—you can be a mom AND love your career, travel, and hobbies.
✨ Seasonal Permission Slips: Why the holiday season (and slow market months) is the perfect time to take a "Big Breather" of 1-2 weeks off, and how to structure this time so your business doesn't fall apart while you recharge.
✨ Sustainability Over Burnout: The hard truth that if you don't schedule rest, your body will force you to take it. Ashley explains why taking breathers is the secret to staying in real estate for the next 20 years instead of burning out in two.
