Episode 5: Real Estate Boundaries and Self Care
With hosts Katy and Alissa of Hustle Humbly
Welcome back to Hustle Humbly! In this episode, Katy and Alissa dive into the essential topic of real estate boundaries and self care—two things every agent needs but often neglects. Many of us enter real estate for the flexibility, but that freedom can quickly lead to burnout without clear boundaries and self-care habits.
Whether you’re a new agent learning to say “no” or a seasoned pro craving better balance, this episode will help you protect your time, energy, and peace while running a thriving business.
Setting Boundaries Without Losing Business
One of the biggest myths in real estate is that you have to be available 24/7 to succeed. Katy and Alissa debunk that myth with practical ways to set boundaries, manage your schedule, and train clients to respect your time.
Learning to say “not right now” doesn’t make you less professional—it makes you more effective. You’ll hear how creating structure and teaching clients what to expect can actually improve service and satisfaction.
Daily Habits That Reduce Stress
Self care isn’t about luxury—it’s about daily habits that reduce stress and build sustainability. From consistent sleep and hydration to cleaning your inbox and home, the hosts share simple habits that restore mental clarity and focus.
Katy explains how her Gmail organization class helps agents recognize that a cluttered inbox often reflects a cluttered life. When your systems are in order, your energy follows.
Work Smarter by Managing Your Energy
Real estate is cyclical. Instead of panicking during slow seasons, use downtime to recharge, nurture your database, or plan ahead. Learn to embrace quiet seasons as opportunities for reflection and rest.
Client Management Starts With You
Boundaries start with leadership. If you respond to texts at 10 PM, clients will expect it every time. Katy and Alissa share how to set professional expectations early—teaching clients what healthy communication looks like while maintaining great service.
Our Self Care Routines
Alissa shares her non-negotiables—no caffeine, limited phone time after 8 PM, and being fully present with family. Katy talks about her love of naps, peaceful Mondays, and creative outlets like organizing and home styling. They remind us that hobbies, fiction books, and quiet moments often fuel professional success.
Cheers to Setting the Example
This week’s toast goes to REALTOR® Ren Jones LeBrun—a shining example of professionalism, positivity, and balance. Ren embodies the perfect mix of service and boundaries that leads to lasting success.
