Delegation and hiring a VA can feel like one of the hardest things to figure out as a real estate agent with ADHD. You know you need help, but you feel too scattered, too busy, or not “together enough” to hand things off.

In this episode, I sit down with Lizzy Brooks, Founder and CEO of Virtually Brooks, to talk about what delegation actually looks like in real life. Not in a perfect, polished business, but in the messy middle where most agents are operating.

We also unpack why waiting until everything feels organized keeps agents stuck, how leverage creates consistency, and why the small behind-the-scenes tasks are often the biggest source of burnout for ADHD brains.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything but still not getting ahead, this conversation will help you rethink how support fits into your business.

This is an especially timely listen as you wrap up the year and start thinking about how you want 2026 to feel.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

• Why trying to do everything yourself leads to inconsistency and burnout • The “messy middle” and why waiting to delegate until things feel perfect does not work • How delegation creates consistency even during busy seasons and life interruptions • What most real estate agents get wrong when hiring a VA • Why operational support is different from simply outsourcing tasks • How leverage helps ADHD brains focus on income-producing work instead of draining details

If listening to this episode made you realize you need leverage but you also feel like your systems are not clear enough to delegate yet, Real Estate Simplified was built for you.

Real Estate Simplified is my 12-week group course and coaching experience designed specifically for realtors with ADHD. Inside the program, you’ll build simple, repeatable systems so you know what to work on each day, stay consistent, and eventually delegate with confidence.

For a long time, I fell into shiny object syndrome hard.

I was stacking tools, apps, and resources thinking I was building systems, but really I was just collecting things that sounded good and hoping they would magically make my business feel easier.

One of the things I’ve learned since my ADHD diagnosis though is that the agents who make the most progress are not the ones who buy the most tools.

The most successful agents are the ones who make clear decisions, track what’s working, and invest in the things that actually reduce mental load, create consistency, and move the needle.

In today’s episode, I’m walking you through the framework I use when I’m deciding what to invest in at the end of one year and the beginning of the next, and I’m sharing the five things I’m intentionally investing in for 2026.

This episode will help you stop spending money just because something sounds promising and start spending money based on what actually supports your business and your brain.

You’ll learn:

• how to decide if something is worth investing in
• why overlapping tools and lead sources quietly drain your time and money
• how to set your lead sources and priorities at the beginning of the year so you can track what’s actually working
• the five investments I’m making for 2026, and why each one earned its place

By the end, you’ll have a filter you can run any potential investment through so you can stop guessing, stop overcomplicating your business, and start building with clarity.

And if you’re tired of wasting money on programs, tech and tools that don't actually work for your ADHD brain and are craving more structure and support so you can build systems that actually work for you, Real Estate Simplified is where it all comes together.

It’s the 12 week course plus group coaching experience where I teach you the framework and systems I use in my own business so you can simplify, create consistency, and stop relying on willpower to hold everything together.

If you’ve ever sat down at your desk, stared at your to do list, and thought “I literally don’t know what to do first”, I know all too well just how frustrating that is.

For years I would start each day promising myself I'd "do all the right things" and get more done and yet at the end of the day I'd wonder what I even did that day, often feeling like a failure.

Looking back I realize the issue wasn't that I couldn't be productive, it was that no one showed me how to prioritize tasks as a realtor with ADHD.

Today’s episode breaks down a simple way to figure out what actually matters on any given day so you can stop spinning, stop guessing, and finally feel confident about how you’re spending your time.

I’m walking you through the exact prioritization framework I use with my coaching clients.

It’s practical, ADHD friendly, and it keeps your business moving forward without relying on willpower or getting stuck because you're overwhelmed.

Whether you’re struggling with task initiation, over-focusing on low priority work, or finding yourself deep in ADHD paralysis, this episode will help you get unstuck so you can choose your top three tasks for the day with clarity.

You’ll learn:

• how to know what actually needs to be done today
• the difference between tasks that need done right away vs. those that don't
• how to avoid wasting your day on tasks that don’t move the needle
• how to implement The Minimum Impact Method, my framework that shows you how to simplify, get clarity and stay consistently productive.

By the end, you’ll have a daily filter you can run any task through so you stop feeling constantly behind and start feeling in control of your business.

And if you’re craving more clarity and confidence in your business so you never have to guess what to do each day again, Real Estate Simplified is where everything finally clicks into place.

Get the systems, support and community that will help you simplify your business and create the consistency you've been missing.

Real Estate, Simplified was built for realtors with ADHD by a realtor for ADHD that shows you exactly how to build your business in a way that works with your brain and not against it.

Branding can feel like one of the most overwhelming parts of running a real estate business, especially for those of us with ADHD.

If you’ve ever sat down with a beautifully color coded schedule and thought this is the thing that’s finally going to fix my days only to abandon it by the next morning you’re in good company.

In today’s episode I’m sharing the story of the rigid half hour time block schedule I created back in 2018 that looked perfect on paper but felt impossible in real life. And more importantly I’m walking you through how I finally learned to plan my days in a way that actually works as a realtor instead of fighting against how the business really runs.

You’ll hear how I use the Minimum Impact Method to strip my planning down to what really matters, how I blend systems with flexibility, and how I’ve replaced strict time slots with a rhythm that lets me get the important things done without feeling behind all the time. If you’re tired of feeling like you “should” be able to follow those rigid schedules that everyone else seems to swear by, this is going to feel like a breath of fresh air.

Inside today’s episode you’ll get a clearer way to think about planning your day, managing your priorities, and creating structure that works with real estate instead of against it.

What if doing less could actually help you grow more?

In this episode, I’m joined by my friend Shelly Killinger, a mom of four, top-producing agent in Pittsburgh, and host of the new podcast The Real Estate Mom Revival.

Shelly shares how she went from full-on hustle culture to a simplified, intentional approach that brought more peace, freedom, and growth to both her real estate business and family life.

We talk about letting go of the pressure to “do it all,” finding clarity in what actually moves the needle, and giving yourself permission to build your business and your life on your own terms.

Whether you’re in a season of burnout or just craving a simpler way to work, this conversation will leave you encouraged, grounded, and ready to do less, better.

Oftentimes the real growth happens when you subtract, simplify, and finally define success on your own terms.

Have you ever stopped to think about what not having systems is actually costing you in your real estate business? In this episode, I’m sharing a hard lesson I learned and want to make sure you avoid.

What started as a simple data-updating project turned into a 500K wake-up call and a reminder that the ADHD tax doesn’t just show up in your personal life. ADHD tax is all of those missed, delayed or forgotten things that quietly cost you money over time and it can drain your real estate business too.

You’ll hear how real estate systems do more than keep you organized. They give you the confidence to know exactly what to focus on each day, help you stay connected to clients, and make your business run smoothly even when your brain feels anything but.

If you’ve been winging it, relying on memory, or trying to just work harder, this episode will show you why now is the time to start working smarter with systems that actually fit your ADHD brain.
