About this listen

Are you a woman in real estate whose mind is constantly racing with a million to-do’s, yet you still feel like you're getting nowhere?

Do you struggle to put your phone down and truly unplug from your real estate business… without guilt?

Are you growing your business - or just running yourself into the ground trying?

If you nodded “yes” to any of these, The Balanced Businesswoman podcast was made for you.

Hi, I’m Lesa Frye - wife, mom, grandma, licensed Realtor for over 35 years, and now a life and business coach for women in real estate.

For many years, I built my real estate business the way many agents are taught to: always available, constantly pushing, and putting myself last. From the outside, everything looked successful, but inside I was exhausted and overwhelmed.

So I rebuilt my business - and my life - around peace, purpose, and aligned priorities, learning how to grow a real estate business without sacrificing my well-being or the people I love.

Now I help high-achieving women in real estate create profitable, sustainable businesses without burnout.

Whether you're a Realtor, real estate agent, loan officer, stager, or another woman building a business in the real estate industry, this podcast will help you create success without sacrificing yourself or your life.

Take a deep breath, close those 12 browser tabs, and drop the hustle.

It’s time to become The Balanced Businesswoman.

Topics include time management, work-life balance, mindset, lead generation, and building a sustainable real estate business.

    Apr 8 2026

    Do you find yourself working in the evenings…trying to “catch up” on your real estate business?

    Answering messages at 8 or 9pm…telling yourself, “I’ll just do a little bit more”?

    And somehow… it keeps happening.

    In this episode of The Balanced Businesswoman, I’m walking you through what your lead generation might actually look like day-to-day, and why it’s quietly keeping you stuck in a cycle of working nights and weekends.

    This isn’t about doing more.

    It’s about understanding what’s really happening in your business…so you can finally start creating structure, consistency, and space.

    💡 In This Episode:
    • What a typical (and exhausting) day actually looks like for many women in real estate
    • Why “I’ll do it later” keeps turning into late nights
    • The difference between reactive and intentional lead generation
    • How inconsistent lead generation creates constant pressure
    • A simple shift you can make this week to start reclaiming your time
    🎯 This Episode Is For You If:
    • You’re working nights and weekends just to keep up
    • Your business feels inconsistent or unpredictable
    • You’re always “on,” even when you don’t want to be
    • You’re craving more structure, balance, and peace in your business
    🌿 A Small Shift to Try:

    Choose one dedicated block of time this week for lead generation.

    That’s it.

    No squeezing it in.

    No pushing it to the evening.

    Mar 25 2026

    Are you constantly busy in your real estate business… yet still feel like you’re falling behind?

    You’re checking off tasks, responding to clients, showing homes, and managing your day, but there’s still that lingering feeling of:

    👉 “I should be further along.” 👉 “I didn’t do enough.” 👉 “Why do I always feel behind?”

    If you’ve been trying to fix this with better time management, time blocking, or productivity tools… and it’s not working - this episode is for you.

    Because the truth is…

    This isn’t about your calendar. It’s about your alignment, boundaries, and support.

    🔑 WHAT YOU’LL LEARN

    ✔️ Why “doing more” isn’t solving your overwhelm in real estate ✔️ The real reason you always feel behind (even when you’re productive) ✔️ How lack of clarity around priorities creates constant pressure ✔️ The hidden cost of overcommitting and not protecting your time ✔️ Why trying to do everything alone is keeping you stuck ✔️ How to create more balance, structure, and momentum in your business
