About this listen

Have you ever wondered if work-life balance actually exists? As a real estate mom, we work in one of the most unpredictable, high-stress industries — all while carrying the invisible load of caring for our children and managing our homes.

The truth is that we want to do both work and home well, so we look to coaching programs and gurus for advice, but many of them aren’t created with moms in mind. We’re told to hustle, so we do — and often, we burn out trying to keep up with it all. Sometimes we imagine: I could be so much more successful if only I had more time.

I’m Shelley — wife, mom of four girls, and a real estate agent for over 15 years. I’ve been through the endless cycle of hustle, burnout, and recovery. It led me to ditch the coaches and influencers who only push hustle culture, dive into what’s truly important, and redefine what success means for me.

From that journey, The Real Estate Mom Revival podcast was born. Here, we trade hustle for purpose, learn how to build a business and home that are truly life-giving, and use simplified systems that help your business grow in a way that’s authentic to YOU.

If you’re exhausted from juggling real estate and motherhood, take heart. Revival begins when the path feels hardest — and you’re in the right place. Welcome to the Real estate mom revival.

    Jan 20 2026

    Lessons from Crumbl Cookies: How Micro Changes Elevate your Customer Experience and create raving fans

    What if creating raving fans didn’t require doing more — just doing the ordinary better?

    In this episode, we’re taking inspiration from Crumbl Cookies — a company that took something as simple as a cookie and turned it into an experience people obsess over. And if people can become loyal fans of a cookie, they can absolutely become raving fans of a thoughtfully elevated real estate experience.

    In This Episode, We Cover:
    • Why Crumbl’s business model works (and why people happily pay more)
    • How anticipation, presentation, and experience build loyalty
    • The difference between “good service” and an elevated client experience
    • Why small, intentional upgrades matter more than big gestures
    • How to create raving fans without adding more to your plate
    Simple Ways to Elevate Your Client Experience

    You’ll hear practical, real-life ideas you can implement right away, including:

    • Thoughtful touches at listing appointments
    • Polished transaction update videos
    • Supporting clients during stressful moments (inspection day, anyone?)
    • Elevated pop-bys that feel meaningful, not gimmicky
    • Buyer consultations that feel like a full experience
    • Closing gifts clients truly remember
    • Beautiful home value reports instead of basic emails
    • Done-for-you listing prep that removes seller stress

  • Ep 14 | Does your calendar match the life you want? A simplified calendar for work life balance in real estate. Simplicity Series part 4
    Jan 15 2026

    Ep 14 | Does your calendar match the life you want? A simplified calendar for work life balance in real estate.

    If your days feel full but your life still feels behind… this episode is for you.

    In the final episode of the Simplicity Series, we’re talking about how to simplify your calendar in a way that actually works in real life — with kids, clients, curveballs, and the constant pull of everything needing your attention. This isn’t about rigid schedules or doing more. It’s about creating a time management system and weekly rhythm that supports your life, protects your energy, and helps you make real progress without burnout.

    Your calendar tells the truth. And when it’s cluttered, overwhelming, or unrealistic, it quietly fuels stress, overwhelm, and exhaustion. In this episode, I’m walking you through how to create a simplified system for your week — one that aligns with your goals, your season of mom life, and your capacity.

    In this episode, we cover:
    • Why a full calendar doesn’t equal a fulfilled life

    • How to simplify your schedule so it supports work life balance, not fights against it

    • A realistic approach to time management for moms running a business

    • How to use your goals as an anchor when life feels chaotic

    • My exact Sunday planning routine to reduce overwhelm

    • How to structure your days with flexible focus blocks (without rigid over-scheduling)

    • Where self-care, home life, and business growth actually fit — sustainably

    • Why routines and rhythms matter more than perfection

    • How simplifying your calendar can reduce stress and prevent burnout

    This episode ties together everything we’ve talked about in the Simplicity Series — simplifying your home, your business, and now your time — so your days finally reflect what matters most.
