Real estate, motherhood, business, and everything in between.

Hosted by realtors and moms Larissa and Sarah The Barely Balanced Agent is a podcast for agents building a business while raising a family and trying to keep life somewhat together along the way.

In each episode, we talk about the real side of real estate — the wins, the chaos, the mindset shifts, and the lessons that come with running a business in a commission-based world while juggling kids, clients, and everyday life.

You'll hear conversations about:

• Growing a real estate business • Navigating motherhood and entrepreneurship • Mindset and personal growth • Lessons from the field (the good, the bad, and the hilarious) • Real stories from agents figuring it out as they go

Because the truth is… no one has it perfectly balanced.

We're all just barely balanced.

  • Why AI Isnt Working For You
    Jun 1 2026

    A lot of people are using AI like a hype machine. Ask a question, get validation, move on.

    But the real power of AI is building systems that actually think with you, challenge bad ideas, help you make decisions, and take things off your plate in a real way.

    This episode is about agentic AI bots, how to start building workflows that actually support your business, and why your AI shouldn’t just exist to agree with you all day long.

    We’re talking about realistic ways Realtors and business owners can start using AI without making it overly complicated or turning it into another full-time job to manage.

    If you’re curious about AI but still trying to figure out how to make it genuinely useful in real life, this one’s for you.

    If you’re in this season too, follow along. We’ll see you next week.

    For Realtor moms and women in business who are exhausted from feeling like they have to do everything themselves.
