There’s a particular kind of tired I’m seeing right now. Not burnout exactly. Not boredom either. But a quiet, heavy fatigue that comes from trying to make decisions in a market that refuses to give you solid ground.

It’s not just interest rates or inventory. It’s the feeling that you’re constantly bracing, waiting for some external signal to tell you when to go all in. And when that signal never comes, the indecision starts to feel like failure.

You’re not alone. And you’re not doing it wrong.

What you’re experiencing has a name: uncertainty fatigue.

In psychology, we talk about intolerance of uncertainty, the way our brains are wired to perceive unpredictability as a threat. We crave resolution. We want to know. And when we don’t, we either freeze, spiral, or overcompensate. That’s not a mindset issue. That’s a nervous system response.

And when the market has been this ambiguous, for this long, it’s no wonder even the strongest agents are starting to lose their footing.

But here’s the shift I’ve been helping my coaching clients make.
You don’t need to have all the answers.
You need to be the one who knows how to move forward without them.

That’s what separates leaders from responders.

It starts with regulating your own system before trying to influence anyone else.

If you’re constantly reacting, chasing headlines, responding to every client wobble, hustling to compensate for the silence, then you’re not leading. You’re surviving. And survival mode might get you through a day or a week, but it won’t sustain you through a season like this one.

The agents who are earning trust right now are the ones who are learning how to be calm without being passive. Present without being perfect. Strategic without being controlling.

They know that clients don’t need more noise. They need discernment.

They need someone who isn’t trying to impress them with predictions, but who’s willing to sit with the ambiguity and say, “I know it’s murky. Let’s talk through what we do know, and make the best move from here.”

That’s real leadership. And it’s more valuable now than it’s ever been.

So if you’ve been feeling the pressure to hustle your way out of this fog, I want to offer something else: stability.

Stability is not a performance. It’s a posture.

It looks like pausing before you respond to the panicked client.
It looks like curating the data instead of dumping it.
It looks like starting your day with one intentional, high-impact move.

Something that builds trust, nurtures a relationship, or advances a conversation. You don’t need to match the chaos.
You need to anchor against it.

And no, that’s not always easy.
But it’s powerful. And it’s learnable.

So if the market still feels stuck and your energy is scattered, come back to this.

You are allowed to slow down.
You are allowed to not know.
You are allowed to lead anyway.

Because leadership in this moment isn’t about having the answer sheet.
It’s about being the one who knows how to walk forward, step by steady step, even when the path is uncertain.

That’s what people will remember.
That’s what will set you apart.

And that’s what I’m here to help you practice.
