About This Podcast
Real estate, motherhood, business, and everything in between.
Hosted by realtors and moms Larissa and Sarah The Barely Balanced Agent is a podcast for agents building a business while raising a family and trying to keep life somewhat together along the way.
In each episode, we talk about the real side of real estate — the wins, the chaos, the mindset shifts, and the lessons that come with running a business in a commission-based world while juggling kids, clients, and everyday life.
You'll hear conversations about:
• Growing a real estate business • Navigating motherhood and entrepreneurship • Mindset and personal growth • Lessons from the field (the good, the bad, and the hilarious) • Real stories from agents figuring it out as they go
Because the truth is… no one has it perfectly balanced.
We're all just barely balanced.
