Episode Summary

In this episode of Breakthrough with Coach B, we dig into the hidden costs of hustle culture in real estate and why psychological detachment from work is more important than ever. My guests and I share real stories of burnout, boundaries, and breakthroughs — including the surprising power of something as simple as a second phone to create real separation between work and life.

We unpack how setting clear boundaries protects your energy, strengthens your relationships, and actually improves your business. The conversation wraps with practical tips you can start using right away to reclaim your time, protect your peace, and build a business you love.
