In this heartfelt episode of the Property Management Podcast, I opened up about some of the personal and professional struggles I’ve been facing lately. From experiencing work breakdowns to navigating unexpected health scares, it’s been a season that’s tested my resilience in ways I didn’t anticipate. Balancing the demands of running a business while still showing up for my family has felt overwhelming at times, and I wanted to share that honestly with my listeners–because I know I’m not the only one going through it.

I also talked about the different “seasons” we go through in business: the startup phase, the messy middle, and the season of abundance. Each one comes with its own challenges and rewards. Right now, I’m in that messy middle, where things don’t always go to plan, and growth often feels uncomfortable. But I reminded myself–and my audience–that these tough times are temporary. Just like any season, they eventually pass, and what we learn along the way shapes who we become as leaders and as individuals.

More than anything, I wanted this episode to encourage women in property management who may be facing their own storms. I shared some of the ways I’ve been prioritizing self-care, leaning on clear communication, and choosing perseverance even when it feels hard. Growth is rarely neat and tidy; it’s often messy, emotional, and unpredictable. But it’s also deeply worthwhile. By embracing the journey and giving ourselves grace, we create the space to thrive–not just survive–in both business and life.
