Mum Guilt & the Property Ladder: A Conversation Every Estate Agent Should Hear

Being a parent in the UK property industry is tough enough, but being a mum in a leadership role comes with an entirely different set of challenges. In this refreshingly honest interview, Nicol Nightingale, former Propertymark regional exec and now a successful asset and lettings manager, opens up about the pressure of balancing motherhood with a high stakes career.

She shares how she navigated years of guilt, criticism from others, and the emotional toll of being the main breadwinner, all while leading a thriving agency. Nicol’s story is one of grit, growth, and learning to let go of seeking approval.

This isn’t just for mums. It’s a must listen for anyone in the property world who wants to understand what true support looks like, in the office and at home.
