Are you caught in the real estate hustle, feeling like the peak season is pushing you to your limits? 🥵 This week on TUF Coffee Shop Talk, I'm getting brutally honest about Agent Burnout and Work-Life Balance.
We're diving into the real cost of being "always on" – from chronic fatigue and unhealthy habits to overwhelming stress and irritability. But more importantly, we're bravely talking about the unseen battles: how unchecked burnout can sadly lead to serious mental health challenges, and in some cases, even addiction and thoughts of suicide. I'm sharing my own personal story with addiction, and how I found a path to recovery.
This isn't just about 'being busy'; it's about protecting your well-being. Learn why you are NOT alone and discover vital strategies for sustainable success, including the life-saving power of collaboration and community among agents. Your well-being is paramount – let's talk about how to protect it.
