Have you hit that point in the year where you’re dragging yourself toward the finish line, promising yourself that you’ll rest once this one last thing is done? I know that feeling well. In property management, it can become so normal that we stop questioning it. Busy turns into an identity. Stress feels familiar. And exhaustion quietly becomes the baseline.

In this episode I’m having a very real, honest conversation about the mindset shifts that have completely changed the way I work, lead and live. I recorded this episode as I was counting down to a 6 week break, and it felt like the right time to pause and reflect on what’s actually been driving my stress, overworking and constant pressure.

This isn’t about a new strategy, planner or system. It’s about the unconscious beliefs that were running the show for me without me even realising it. I share the 5 mindset shifts I made this year that helped me move out of survival mode and into a calmer, more sustainable way of running my business and showing up as a leader.

“ The best way I have found to get conscious and have the space to be conscious is by giving myself rest and having a space, and rest isn't the reward. It's a responsibility. If I'm a leader, I set the tone. If I'm exhausted, so is my team. And if I'm running on empty, my clients can certainly feel that as well. So I now prioritise rest, I schedule it into my calendar like I would a meeting.” - Kylie Walker

We cover:

1. How I realised I wasn’t just busy, I was actually addicted to stress and why that’s so common in property management
2. Shifting from reactive property management to building systems and processes that create calmer, more organised businesses
3. How scarcity thinking shows up as “there’s never enough time, money or support” and what changed when I challenged that
4. How I released limiting beliefs that were impacting my confidence, leadership and business decisions
5. Why rest isn’t something I earn once everything is done, but something I’m responsible for as a business owner and leader
6. How mindset work supports clearer boundaries, better leadership and sustainable business growth
7. What’s changed for me since I stopped overworking and started prioritising energy, clarity and long term impact

In one of our most downloaded episodes ever, I sat down with Claire Baines, CEO of Hands Across The Water, to talk about the brave decision to walk away from a corporate career that looked perfect on the outside–but felt completely misaligned on the inside. From leading national events at REA to rebuilding homes in Thai villages, Claire’s story is one of purpose, resilience, and redefining success on your own terms. She opens up about the moment everything changed, her personal IVF journey, and how she and founder Pete pivoted their entire charity model after COVID wiped out 80% of their fundraising overnight.
