The Double Duty Agent® Podcast with Carla Higgins
The Double Duty Agent® Podcast with Coach Carla is for real estate agents who are building their business alongside another career, family responsibilities, caregiving, school, or a full life.
If you have ever felt behind, overwhelmed, inconsistent, or unsure how to make real estate work with the time you actually have, this podcast was created for you.
Coach Carla Higgins, founder of Double Duty by Design™, helps busy agents turn limited time into focused, income-producing action so they can build a real estate business that fits their life and helps their license become a path to income, freedom, and confidence.
Each week, you’ll get practical coaching, mindset support, real agent stories, and simple systems to help you focus on what matters most: conversations, appointments, clients, closings, and income.
This is not about hustle, comparison, or building your business like everyone else. It is about building by design.
You are not behind. You are building.

Coach’s Corner: The Time Myth — Real Estate, Alignment, and Making Space for What Matters Hosted by Coach Carla | Double Duty Agent Podcast

“You don’t need more time. You need more alignment.”
This week’s episode is for every dual-career agent who has whispered, “There’s just not enough time to fit it all in.” If you’re constantly juggling your career, your family, your life and trying to build a real estate business—you’re not alone. And this episode isn’t about another time-blocking strategy. It's something deeper.
Coach Carla invites you to look at the time challenge through a powerful new lens: alignment.
Because when how you spend your time isn’t in sync with what matters most, no amount of systems or schedules will bring peace—or progress.
In This Episode:
- Why “I don’t have time” is often an emotional challenge, not a logistical one
- How misalignment is draining your energy—and sabotaging your momentum
- 5 deep coaching questions to check if you’re living in alignment
- 3 practical shifts to help you reclaim your time and create space that feels expansive
Reflect + Realign:
Carla walks you through 5 journaling/reflection questions to uncover what’s driving your time struggle:
- What is your ultimate goal in building this business?
- What values guide the life you want to live?
- Does your current schedule reflect those values and goals?
- Where are you saying “yes” out of guilt, fear, or habit?
- What would shift if your schedule reflected your priorities, not just your obligations?\
3 Shifts to Reclaim Your Time:
- Reclaim Your YES – Stop saying yes to things that pull you away from your future.
- Anchor Your Week to One Priority – Pick one meaningful real estate win each week.
- Build in White Space for Realignment – Give yourself time to course-correct before burnout hits.
Remember:
“You don’t have to do everything.
You just have to do what matters most.”
