Real estate loves goals, growth, and discipline — but rarely talks about joy.

In this episode, Lindsay Dreyer makes the case that joy isn’t a bonus or a reward you earn after hustling hard enough. It’s a strategy. A real one. One that actually makes your business sustainable.

We’re talking about why real estate quietly normalizes stress, why so many agents delay enjoyment until “later,” and how building a joyless business leads straight to burnout — even when things look successful on paper. If your business feels heavy, draining, or like it’s eating your life, this episode will help you rethink what success really looks like.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why joy is a business strategy — not a distraction
• How real estate trains agents to postpone enjoyment
• The connection between income stress, nervous system burnout, and joy
• Signs you’ve accidentally built a joyless real estate business
• Why boundaries and structure create more enjoyment, not less
• How to define what joy actually means to you
• Why designing your business around energy matters as much as income
• How non-negotiable joy anchors protect your time and sanity
• Why joyful agents attract better clients and more referrals

You don’t need to wait until your business is perfect to enjoy your life. Joy isn’t something you earn — it’s something you build into how you work.
