If you’ve ever felt like real estate was taking more out of you than it was giving back, you’re not alone. Long hours, constant pressure, and the never ending chase for results can leave even the most driven people running on empty. Burnout creeps in quietly, and before you know it, your health, relationships, and love for the job start to suffer.

But what if there was another way? What if success wasn’t about doing more, but about doing things differently, listening to yourself, leaning into resilience, and building a business that works for you, not against you?

In this episode I chat to Chris Henry, who knows that story all too well. Starting his career in the trades before stepping into his mum’s real estate business in the Hunter Valley, Chris pushed himself hard in the early years. Chasing the big agent dream eventually landed him in hospital with burnout, forcing him to rethink what success really looks like. Today, he leads River Realty with a focus on people, culture and long term growth, and shares openly about the role of vulnerability, coaching and intuition in creating a more sustainable career.

“  A lot of people that I've noticed give up a little too easily on things. And they make some decisions in an emotional moment and completely blow up their current life because of an emotional reaction to something. And so I think over time get as much coaching and training as you can. If you are wanting to develop in real estate, then find a coach that resonates with you. And look at what you want to improve in and seek out those people that are good at those sorts of aspects of your career. Never stop learning and always be the student.” - Chris Henry
