About this listen

Is your mind constantly racing with a million to-do’s, but you still feel like you're getting nowhere? Do you struggle to put your phone down and truly unplug - without guilt?
Are you growing your business... or just running yourself into the ground trying?

If you nodded “yes” to any of these, The Balanced Businesswoman podcast was made just for you.

This is your permission slip to ditch the hustle culture and build a business that aligns with your purpose, supports your peace, and creates real impact - without burning out. It’s time to redefine success on your terms, with scalable support, space to breathe, and more time for yourself and the people you love. You don’t have to choose between fulfillment and freedom … you get to have both.

Hi, I’m Lesa Frye - wife, mom, grandma, and business owner for over 30 years. I built a successful real estate business initially by doing what I thought was required: being available around the clock, constantly pushing, and putting myself last. From the outside, everything looked great. But inside? I was exhausted, overwhelmed, and quietly losing connection with myself and the life I truly wanted.

So, I made a change.

I rebuilt my business (and my life) around peace, purpose, and aligned priorities. I learned how to lead with intention, scale without sacrificing myself, and finally create space for the people and moments that matter most.

Now, I help other high-achieving women do the same.

If you’re ready to step off the burnout path and build a business that supports your energy, values, and vision for a joyful life, you’re in the right place.

So take a deep breath, close those 12 browser tabs, and drop the hustle.
It’s time to become The Balanced Businesswoman.

  • 12 | The Gratitude Reset: A Gentle Way to Step Out of Burnout
    Nov 26 2025

    This week, we’re heading into Thanksgiving - a season where gratitude is encouraged, celebrated, and spoken aloud.

    But what if gratitude wasn’t something we practiced only once a year? What if it was a daily mindset that helped us create peace, presence, and balance… especially when life and business feel overwhelming?

    In today’s episode, we’re exploring gratitude as a reset.

    A grounding practice that helps you step out of burnout and back into who you truly are - a woman who is worthy of joy, time, rest, and a business that supports her instead of drains her.

    Inside this conversation, we’ll talk about:

    • Why gratitude is one of the most powerful mindset tools you have
    • How gratitude improves your emotional well-being and your relationships
    • How gratitude shifts the way you lead, work, and show up in your business
    • Simple daily gratitude practices that feel natural and sustainable
    • How to access peace and presence even in seasons that feel heavy or rushed

    If you’re craving more breathing room, more calm, and more joy in your life and business… this episode will feel like a deep exhale.

  • 11 | Time Management Begins with Self-Management
    Nov 19 2025

    If you’ve ever felt like you’re constantly rushing, stretched thin, or never able to “catch up,” this episode is going to change how you see time forever.

    Because time-management isn’t actually about the perfect planner, color-coded calendar, or squeezing more into your day.

    Time-management begins with self-management. With who you believe you are. With the boundaries you set. With the way you honor your values, your energy, and your capacity.

    In this episode, we explore:

    • Why traditional time-management strategies often fail (and what to do instead)
    • The difference between employee time and CEO time
    • How to manage your thoughts and identity before your calendar
    • The 3 P’s: Priorities, Planning, and Protecting
    • What it looks like to run your business from peace, versus pressure

    If you want to experience more space, more presence, more clarity, and more peace — start here.
