Summary
What happens when maternity leave meets real estate reality? In this episode, we chat honestly about what it's like navigating real estate with a newborn—without pretending to have it all figured out.
Alissa is just three weeks postpartum and joins Katy for an unplanned, very real conversation about the mental load of new motherhood, the guilt that shows up from every direction, and the systems that make it possible to stay present for both family and clients. Baby Tate is literally in the room, which feels exactly right for this episode.
This is not a how-to guide. It's a permission-giving chat for any Realtor trying to balance work, rest, identity, and a brand-new human.
Here's what we cover:
- The emotional whiplash of early postpartum life
- Why real estate with a newborn feels like being at war with yourself
- Client reactions to honesty and transparency
- How Alissa leaned on her assistant and agent friends for support
- Asking for help and learning to say yes
- Judgment, comparison, and social media pressure
- Why routines can feel grounding—and exhausting
- Letting go of "shoulds" and lowering your standards
- A powerful Ruth Bader Ginsburg quote on work and motherhood
Products, People & Resources Mentioned:
- Assistant support and showing coverage
- Agent-to-agent collaboration
- Ruth Bader Ginsburg quote on work-life balance
