Real Estate, Single Motherhood, and the Truth Behind “Having It All”

Let’s get real.

Success doesn’t come with a manual especially not when you’re a single mom building a real estate business from the ground up. But what if you could stop chasing perfection and start building your dream life with grit, strategy, and a whole lot of heart?

That’s exactly what Tarah Frig is doing. And she’s not just surviving she’s thriving.

In our latest episode of the Million Dollar Agent Blueprint, I sat down with Tarah to talk about what it really takes to grow a referral-based business as a single mom in real estate. No fluff. No sugarcoating. Just truth, systems, and soul.

Here’s What You’re Not Being Told About "Balance"

The myth of work-life balance? Let’s throw that out.

What Tarah created doesn't balance its intention.

She builds her business around her non-negotiables. Morning snuggles. Dinner with her daughters. Being fully present during bedtime even in the middle of Edmonton’s brutally long winters.

"Client meetings are dark green on my calendar because they mean money. But my kids? They’re built first. Every week."

This isn’t about choosing business or family. It’s about designing your life with strategy and honoring your boundaries unapologetically.

Real Talk: You’ll Need Systems and Support

Let’s be honest doing it all is a lie. Doing what matters most? That’s the real flex.

When Tarah went full-time in real estate during the pandemic, she didn’t wait to get her systems perfect. She found help. Showing assistants. Childcare trades. Even bribing her kids with Slurpees in the car on the way to showings (we’ve all been there).

She future-time-blocked her success. Color-coded her calendar. Budgeted for help before she needed it. Because that's how a CEO thinks even when your office is your minivan and your boardroom has car seats in the back.

You’ll Break Down Before You Break Through

Look, I know what it’s like to hit the bottom. Divorce. Burnout. Overwhelm. That feeling like you're the only one holding the whole damn thing together.

Tarah’s been there too. And here’s what she did:

• Therapy. Like, real therapy.

• Meditation and mindset work. (Joe Dispenza fans, this one's for you.)

• Owning her feelings instead of hiding behind the grind.

“I had to self-care. I had to learn to calm my nervous system. I was addicted to the stress. I had to break that cycle.”

It’s not a weakness. It’s leadership.

You can’t pour into your business or your kids if your cup is empty. And you sure as hell can’t create wealth on fumes.

You Are Not Alone and You Don’t Have to Prove It Alone Either

If you’re a woman navigating business and motherhood especially solo it’s easy to feel like you’re falling short. Like everyone else has it figured out.

Let Tarah be your reminder: you’re not behind. You’re not broken. You’re building.

And every micro win matters. Some days it’s a closed deal. Some days it’s just getting out of bed. Both count.

“Don’t give up on yourself. You are capable of more than you think at this moment.”
