The holiday season has its own rhythm — slower clients, shorter days, more family logistics, and a brain that’s begging for a break. Instead of forcing a big marketing push, this episode walks you through gentle, low-lift, seasonally smart ways to stay visible without burning out. Think fuzzy socks, holiday candles, and simple touchpoints that keep you top of mind while protecting your energy.

What You’ll Learn

• Why cozy marketing works (and why December is the perfect time for it)
• How to send a VIP holiday note that actually builds connection
• The easiest “no pressure drop-in” event you can host
• What to schedule for January now so you start 2026 strong
• How to write a grounded, non-salesy year-end reflection
• Simple surprise-and-delight ideas for past clients
• Cozy social media strategies you can do in slippers
• How to batch your content for an easier January + February
• The “Cozy Big Three” framework to guide your entire holiday season

This season is busy, tender, nostalgic, and magical — and your marketing can reflect that. Lean into warmth, connection, and presence. Cozy marketing protects your energy and keeps your business moving forward.

If you’ve ever thought, “I just need a cute logo and some brand colors,” this episode is going to blow your mind! Lindsay is interviewing Patrick Sanders and Darcy Walker of Tuo Studio, the branding team behind her rebrand from City Chic Real Estate to Reverie Residential. We break down what real branding is, how to uncover your core belief, and why your visuals should be the final step—not the first. We also talk about how AI can help you execute your brand more consistently once your foundation is solid.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why your logo is not your brand (and what agents get wrong about branding)
• How to build a real estate brand that’s more than a color palette
• What a brand actually is: your promise, positioning, messaging, and client experience
• How the brand discovery process works and why it feels like “brand therapy”
• What core beliefs, messaging pillars, and manifestos are—and why strong brands need them
• Why generic, mass-appeal branding hurts boutique brokerages and agent teams
• How to use AI tools for branding to stay consistent without losing authenticity
• How to act as the creative director of your brand across marketing and social media

Branding isn’t about fonts, logos, or Canva templates—it’s about clarity, consistency, and the emotional promise you make to your clients. This conversation will help you understand the deeper strategy behind real estate branding and give you a framework for building a brand that truly stands out.

Whether you're a seasoned REALTOR® or a real estate agent who wants to grow without chasing every lead on the internet, this episode gives you a referral gratitude plan that actually works (and feels good to do).

• The 4 key ingredients of a standout referral gratitude system
• How to identify your real estate referral VIPs—and treat them accordingly
• Ideas for gifts and gestures that feel personal, not promotional

It’s Halloween week, which means it’s the perfect time to talk about ghosts and zombies—not in your neighborhood, but in your real estate business.

In this episode, Lindsay shares how to stop obsessing over new leads and instead re-engage the ones you already have. From past clients who’ve gone quiet to buyers and sellers who vanished after showing interest, there’s gold hiding in your database if you’re willing to go back and take another look.

You’ll learn simple ways to reconnect, shift your mindset about follow-up, and turn old opportunities into fresh momentum.

Think of this as your resurrection ritual—low pressure, zero cringe, and a reminder that you don’t need more strangers, just more follow-through.

Can you really build a thriving real estate career while raising little kids and pursuing your creative passions? My guest today, Dina Thomas, proves it’s possible. Dina is a mom of two, a working actor in the DC theater scene, and a full-time real estate agent who got her license when her first baby was just six months old—in the middle of the pandemic.

In this episode, Dina shares her honest journey of:

• Why she decided to get licensed during one of the hardest seasons of life
• The role teams played in helping her learn the business (and why she went solo before coming back to a team)
• How she managed childcare, acting, and ramping up her business without burning out
• Why defining your own version of success is the only way to stay in this career long-term
• The unglamorous truth about lead generation—and how real conversations beat paid leads every time
• The importance of supportive partners, good childcare, and building a business that works for your family

This is a must-listen if you’ve ever felt the tug between career and motherhood—or if you’ve wondered whether you can create a real estate business that doesn’t swallow your life.

If your marketing sounds like it could belong to any real estate agent, it’s not working. Phrases like “helping dreams become reality” or “your trusted neighborhood expert” don’t set you apart—they make you blend in. In this episode, Lindsay Dreyer is breaking down why so much real estate marketing sounds the same, and how to finally find your real voice.

You’ll learn:

• The 3 biggest brand voice blockers keeping you sounding generic
• How to swap “Realtor-speak” for language that actually connects
• Why over-automation and corporate tone kill trust (and how to fix it)
• A simple 3-step framework to define your authentic brand voice
• How to write your own real estate manifesto to guide all your marketing

You don’t need to be louder, flashier, or copy the “top producers” to stand out. You just need to sound like you.

To celebrate 13 years married, I’m replaying a listener-favorite: a candid conversation with my husband, Andrew, on what it’s really like to love (and live with) a real estate agent. We talk about the unpredictable hours, money-time tradeoffs, redefining roles at home, and the trust + communication it takes to build a life—and a business—together.

In this episode, we unpack:

• Time works differently in real estate — why “money hours” (negotiations, deadline sprints) change calendars, weekends, and vacations.
• Roles that actually work — ditching default gender scripts for a flexible, strengths-based partnership.
• Stop forcing “normal” — how trying to fit a realtor life into a 9–5 mold breeds resentment.
• The upside of embracing it — freedom, big swings (hello, month-long trips), and shared wins when you play the long game.
• Trust & boundaries — how discipline, systems, and clear expectations make love + listings coexist.

If you’ve ever stared at your to-do list and thought, “Why can’t I just do the things I said I was going to do?” — this one’s for you. The truth is, you’re not lazy. You’re overwhelmed. And most of the time, it’s not about discipline or time blocking…it’s about your nervous system.

In this episode, Lindsay Dreyer breaks down how nervous system dysregulation shows up in your real estate business — from procrastination and brain fog to avoidance and endless scroll holes. You’ll learn why managing your energy matters more than managing your calendar, and how to reset so you can show up focused, creative, and calm.

Inside you’ll discover:

• The 3 nervous system states (fight/flight, freeze, regulated) and how they affect your business
• Why energy management > time management for sustainable success
• Practical, doable tools to regulate before you work (breathing, movement, white space, recovery time)
• How to stop beating yourself up for being “unmotivated” and start supporting your body instead

This episode is your permission slip to stop pushing through survival mode and start running your business from a place of calm, clarity, and power.
