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.

  • Back-to-School as a Realtor Mom: Morning Routines, Mom Hustle & Finding What Actually Works
    Sep 28 2026

    Back-to-school season sounds so organized until you’re actually in it. Alarms are going off, lunches need to be packed, kids need to get dressed, someone can’t find their shoes, and somehow you’re also supposed to start your own workday.

    Sarah and Larissa are officially back in the school-year hustle, and as usual, they could not be more opposite in how they handle their mornings. They’re sharing what mornings actually look like in their houses, what works for their kids, and why the “best” routine might just be the one that works for your family.

    For Realtor moms and working moms trying to balance school schedules, real estate, motherhood, and everything else that starts demanding your attention before 8 a.m., this one will feel very familiar.

    We’re talking about:

    • Back-to-school routines for working moms
    • Realtor mom morning schedules
    • Getting kids out the door without losing your mind
    • Different parenting styles and personalities
    • Balancing real estate and motherhood
    • Finding routines that actually work for your family
    • Letting go of the idea that there’s one “right” way to do mornings

  • Our Seller Fired Us… and We Were Relieved
    Sep 14 2026

    Larissa got fired by a seller for not communicating enough. Except she was communicating twice a week, which is already more than the typical cadence. So… what do you do with that?

    In this episode, we’re talking about the part of real estate that doesn’t get discussed enough: sometimes you can be doing your job well and still not be the right Realtor for a particular client.

    We get into what happened with this listing, the weird mix of emotions that comes with being released by a seller, and why sometimes there’s actually a little relief when a difficult client decides to move on.

    More importantly, we talk about what we can learn from it. What questions should we be asking at seller appointments? How clearly are we defining communication expectations? And how do we get better at recognizing the clients who might not be a good fit before we’re already in it?

    For Realtor moms and women in real estate trying to build a business without taking every client experience personally, this one is a reminder that losing a client doesn’t always mean you did something wrong.

  • From Caffeine Hacks to Dream Homes: What Every Realtor Should Know About the Moment Clients Find "The One"
    Aug 31 2026

    One minute we're swapping our favorite coffee and caffeine hacks, and the next we're talking about one of the biggest moments in real estate... when a buyer walks into a house and just knows.

    This conversation takes a fun turn when Larissa admits she almost bought a house herself. It leads to a bigger discussion about why finding the right home is so emotional and what Realtor moms and real estate agents experience alongside their clients during that process.

    If you've ever watched a client fall in love with a home, or you've been surprised by your own emotions while house hunting, this episode will feel very familiar.

    In this episode we talk about:

    • Coffee and caffeine habits
    • The emotional side of buying a home
    • Why buyers know when they've found "the one"
    • What Realtors experience during the home search
    • Trusting your instincts while house hunting
    • Real estate stories from behind the scenes

    Whether you're a Realtor, a Realtor mom, or someone dreaming about your next home, this conversation is a reminder that buying a house is about so much more than square footage.
