I remember at Christmastime a few years back, my team put together a gift basket for me and there were all kinds of wonderful things in there. But, there was one gift that I did not particularly love: It was a “What mood are you in today?” flip chart.

Now, I acted like I thought it was hilarious, but I remember receiving it and thinking to myself, “I'm not moody.” 😐

And then I stopped for a second and really thought about it, and I came around to the conclusion..

Actually, I am. 😟

So the question is: Was I going to be receptive or was I going to be defensive?

This week’s episode is short and sweet - listen to hear more about what happened.

There are a hundred reasons why you may want to leave your current job as a property manager.

Leaving your company for a new one can be incredibly tempting. The grass always seems greener on the other side, and it's easy to believe that a new job will solve all of your problems. However, this isn't always the case.

In reality, most people find that the challenges they faced at their old job follow them to their new one. Additionally, you may find that you don't quite fit in with the new company culture or that the work isn't what you expected it to be.

Ultimately, it's important to remember that just because the grass isn't always greener on the other side doesn't mean that you're stuck where you are.

Listen to this week’s episode to uncover how to get unstuck… without having to submit your 2-week notice.

Feeling stuck?

It’s so easy to keep trying to do more and more in order to get to where you want to go. But, sometimes doing what worked in the past can actually hold you back. Your teams, ownership groups and properties are quite literally ecosystems and each time there is a change, we can’t always be sure that what worked in the past will work in the future.

Listen - no one gets out of this industry without a few cuts and scrapes. But, if you’re going to have to feel some element of discomfort, you might as well do it in a way that allows you to grow and develop (and hopefully make it to the next level!)

We are familiar with diving into internet rabbit holes. One minute, we’re checking the weather and then 20 minutes later we pull out of a YouTube hole on how to propagate cilantro plants from cuttings. How did we get here? Beats me!

But, did you know we can also fall into work rabbit holes? Much like distractions on the internet can pull our attention away from tasks we want to complete, we can distract ourselves from our work… with OTHER work.

Constant task switching is taxing on the brain - so, it’s no wonder why we reached the end of the day feeling so exhausted and tired!

Uncovering your Rabbit Hole Runway is one of the best ways to refocus your energy back to your high-level tasks (and protect your energy level throughout the day).

We all have them—those pesky habits that we just can't seem to shake. They might be minor things, like leaving the lights on when we leave a room, or bigger issues, like always picking fights with our partner. The problem with bad habits is that they rob us of time and energy. And, when we’re tired and exhausted, we tend to rely on bad habits to make us feel better (think scrolling on Instagram, binge watching Netflix or overeating). No matter what the habit is, it's frustrating when we can't seem to break it. But don't worry, you're not alone. This week, we’re going to do a deep dive into why we tend to over-do it from time to time.

Burnout. We've all heard of it, and many of us have experienced it firsthand. It's that feeling of being completely overwhelmed, stressed out, and overworked. And it's a problem that's only getting worse, as more and more people find themselves struggling to juggle the demands of work and life. The hardest part about burnout (and perhaps the most common misunderstanding) is the complete and utter lack of control we have. But here's the thing: burnout is not out of our control. Yes, we live in a fast-paced world where it can be easy to get caught up in the rat race. But at the end of the day, we are the ones in charge of our schedules and our lives. If you are trying to outrun burnout by striving to check everything off your to-do list and get back to inbox zero… this episode is for you.
