A Realtor Leaves Their Phone for a Week
What would happen if you took a trip without your phone? Not just airplane mode, but a full-on real estate phone detox?
This week on the Hustle Humbly Podcast, we’re joined by top-producing Realtor Kim Lafleur, who did just that — and lived to tell the tale. With over 655 homes sold and more than $121 million in volume, Kim’s no stranger to running a high-level business. But when a quiet 4 a.m. reflection nudged her to try something radical, she listened: she left her phone in the U.S. before heading to Turks and Caicos for her 40th birthday.
In this episode, Kim shares how she prepped her team, empowered a trusted agent to take over her phone (literally), and came home to a business that was not only intact — but thriving. She also tells us how she uses tools like “the brick” and iPhone’s “send later” feature to keep boundaries strong, even when she’s not on vacation.
In this episode we cover:
- The spiritual nudge that started it all
- How to build systems that support stepping away
- What it’s like to experience a full week without pings, calls, or notifications
- Tips for creating a simple handoff process
- Why letting go might actually grow your business
This real estate phone detox isn’t just about unplugging — it’s about resetting how we relate to work, clients, and ourselves. Give yourself permission to rest. You just might like what happens.
