Real estate agents are some of the most exhausted people I know — and it’s not just because of long hours or lack of sleep. Between constant notifications, emotional conversations, negotiations, decision fatigue, and always feeling “on,” so many agents are running on fumes without even realizing it.

In this episode, Lindsay breaks down the 7 types of exhaustion real estate agents experience and how to actually recharge your energy in a sustainable way.
