    The Freedom Framework: How to Stop Surviving & Create the Business of Your Dreams

    Burnout doesn’t happen overnight, and in this episode I’m sharing what it really looked like for me when the pressure, pace, and constant demands of property management became too much. I talk openly about reaching a point where my business was running my life, not the other way around, and why that moment forced me to rethink how I was operating, leading, and showing up both professionally and personally. I take you behind the scenes of how I rebuilt my business using what I now call my Freedom Framework. We dive into the role of simple, repeatable systems, the power of well-designed workflows, and how leveraging offshore support allowed me to create space, increase efficiency, and improve profitability without adding more hours to my week. This is about designing a business that functions smoothly even when you’re not in every detail. This episode is for property managers who know there has to be a better way but aren’t sure where to start. It’s a mix of mindset, strategy, and practical insight designed to help you reduce overwhelm, protect your energy, and create a business that supports your wellbeing, your goals, and your life outside of work. ”I don’t have a productivity issue. I work really bloody hard. I have a capacity issue." - Kylie Walker We cover: Overcoming burnout and overwhelm in the property management industryDevelopment and implementation of the "Freedom Framework"Importance of time tracking and delegation in business managementCreation of simple, repeatable workflows and systems for property management tasksEnhancing team efficiency and reducing staff turnover through structured processesShifting focus from busy work to profitability in business operationsStrategies for increasing fees and improving client retentionTransitioning from survival mode to sustainable business growthBuilding a business that supports personal life and well-beingOffering support services to property management business owners through trained offshore talent Learn More About Taskers: https://dfys.mykajabi.com/tasker-support https://dfys.mykajabi.com/done-for-you-taskers Kylie’s Resources: Property Management Growth School: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/TPM-BDMSchool Digital Marketing School: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/digitalschool That Property Mum Courses: https://www.thatpropertymum.com.au/courses/ The PM

    Personal Brand vs Corporate Brand: What Actually Grows Your Business Online

    Showing up online can feel exhausting when you’re doing all the “right” things and still not seeing traction. In this episode, I’m unpacking one of the biggest questions I hear from property managers and business owners right now: should you be building a corporate brand or a personal brand? With social platforms more crowded than ever, visibility isn’t about being louder or more polished – it’s about being more human, more intentional, and more connected. I break down why personal brands create stronger trust, deeper relationships, and warmer conversations than business pages alone. We talk about how showing the person behind the brand actually strengthens your business, not undermines it, and why clarity, consistency, and lived experience are your biggest differentiators online. This isn’t about becoming an influencer or oversharing your life – it’s about being known for what you stand for and how you think. This episode is an equal parts mindset shift and practical guidance for anyone who wants to grow their business without burning out or hiding behind a logo. Whether you’re a property manager, leader, or agency owner, this conversation will help you rethink how you show up, what you want to be known for, and how to build trust in a digital world that’s craving real leadership. ”People don’t connect with businesses. They connect with people." - Kylie Walker We cover: Balancing career and family in the property management industryStrategies for growing a property management businessOvercoming fear and boosting confidence in professional settingsThe importance of mindset in achieving successDifferences between personal branding and corporate brandingWhy personal brands tend to outperform corporate brands onlineThe role of trust in service-based and relationship-driven industriesKey elements of a successful personal brand (clarity, consistency, perspective, authenticity, and value)The impact of social media algorithms on personal versus corporate brandingThe significance of showing up authentically in a crowded online space Kylie’s Resources: Property Management Growth School: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/TPM-BDMSchool Digital Marketing School: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/digitalschool That Property Mum Courses: https://www.thatpropertymum.com.au/courses/ The PM Accelerate Membership: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/accelerate Book a Strategy Call with Kylie:a...

    My Change Your Mind Experience and the Neuroscience of Change with Tanja Lee

    Personal growth and leadership can feel exciting when you first start investing in it. You feel hopeful, motivated, and ready for change. But what happens when you realise that despite all the workshops, courses, and effort, you’re still stuck in the same patterns – overwhelmed, reactive, and running on autopilot? That was me. Until I discovered the missing piece: the neuroscience behind real, lasting change. In this episode, I chat with leadership and mindset expert Tanja Lee about how our brains are wired to keep us in survival mode – and why so many of us stay stuck there without even realising it. We talk about the powerful shifts that happen when we move out of stress and into creation, and how awareness, presence, and intention can completely transform not just how we lead, but how we live. I also share my own experience attending Tanja’s immersive two-day training, which challenged me to look at the way I think, act, and feel in a whole new way. Tanja breaks down how our thoughts create our reality, how stress becomes addictive, and how to interrupt the patterns that are keeping us from the version of ourselves we’re meant to become. Whether you’re a business owner, leader, or simply someone craving a different way of showing up in the world, this conversation offers powerful tools and insights to help you create change from the inside out. “There’s two states that we can be in. We can be in a state of stress and survival or in a state of innovation and growth.” - Tanja Lee We cover: The distinction between states of stress and survival versus innovation and growth in real estate professionals.The impact of stress on personal and professional development.The role of neuroscience in facilitating lasting change and personal transformation.Tanja Lee's background and her journey into real estate and leadership coaching.The significance of awareness in recognizing and altering habitual thought patterns.Types of stress affecting individuals, including physical, chemical, and emotional stressors.The brain's response to stress and the concept of stress addiction.Strategies for moving from past and future worries to present moment awareness.The importance of intentional thought and action in designing a desired future self.Insights on the immersive training program developed by Dr. Joe Dispenza and its transformative potential.

    Breaking the Glass Ceiling in Real Estate With Rebecca Halton

    Growing a property management business often starts out exciting. More properties, a bigger team, strong results. But as the business grows, so does the responsibility. There are more decisions to make, more people relying on you, and less room to step away. And that becomes even harder when you're also trying to be present for your family. In this episode, we explore what happens when a business keeps growing but the structure doesn’t keep up. We also talk about how small changes in leadership, systems, and mindset can completely transform how your business feels to run, both at work and at home. I’m joined by Rebecca Halton, CEO, Licensee and Auctioneer at the helm of one of WA’s top-performing LJ Hooker offices and the number one Property Management Business in the LJ Hooker network across Australia. Bec shares her incredible journey growing the business in Perth from around 400 to 4,000 properties under management. She gives us a behind-the-scenes look at what growth really felt like. From the pressure of doing too much herself, to the impact it had on family life, and the game-changing decisions that helped her build a business that runs smoothly without needing her in every part of it. “You don’t just wake up with freedom. You have to design it, and you have to know exactly what you’re building towards” - Rebecca Halton We cover: How Bec grew an LJ Hooker property management business from around 400 to 4,000 properties under management and why the business had to operate very differently as it scaledWhat Bec learned once the rent roll reached size, including the reality of losing 20–30 properties every month through sales and landlords exitingWhy bringing in new managements doesn’t automatically mean growth, and how the numbers can be misleading if you don’t understand what’s leavingHow many new managements Bec’s business needs each month just to stay the same size and why that was a turning point in how she thought about growthWhy one business development manager is never enough in a large rent roll, and how relying on one person limits business growthHow Bec structured business development across a team inside an LJ Hooker network to support a growing rent rollWhat it looked like when Bec was personally running sales, property management, finance, HR, and payroll and why that model eventually brokeHow motherhood, family life, and burnout forced Bec to redesign the business so it no longer relied on her being across everything and support her life long term Kylie’s Resources: Property Management Growth School: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/TPM-BDMSchool Digital Marketing School: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/digitalschool That Property Mum Courses: https://www.thatpropertymum.com.au/courses/ The PM Accelerate

In this episode, I’m sharing a behind-the-scenes look at my first week back at work and the powerful mindset shift that helped me reset. Instead of writing another to-do list, I created a stop doing list. I’ll walk you through what I’ve decided to let go of this year and why making space for what truly matters is more important than ever. You’ll also hear the one question that helped me reconnect with my goals and gain clarity about what’s next. If you’re ready for more focus, less hustle, and a more intentional approach to business and life in 2026, you’re going to love this conversation. ”But I'm going to let go of some things, and just because I can do it doesn't mean that I should like managing everything myself instead of delegating..." - Kylie Walker We cover: Came back from holidays full of motivation but hit overwhelm by day twoJuggling emails, to-do lists, and school holiday chaos led to a mini meltdownRealised I don’t want to keep doing everything just because I canCreated a Stop Doing List instead of another to-do list and it shifted everythingAsked myself what the 2026 version of me would stop doing todayLetting go of overcommitting, people-pleasing, and trying to prove my worth through productivityUnsubscribed from noise, reset my socials, and created more space for what mattersThis episode is about doing business and life with more intention and less overwhelm Kylie’s Resources: Property Management Growth School: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/TPM-BDMSchool Digital Marketing School: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/digitalschool That Property Mum Courses: https://www.thatpropertymum.com.au/courses/ The PM Accelerate Membership: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/accelerate Book a Strategy Call with Kylie: https://calendly.com/kylie-tpm/coaching-call Kolmeo: https://kolmeo.com/ Find out about our Done for You Lead Generation - https://calendly.com/kylie-tpm/done-for-you-leads-discovery-call 35 AI Prompts to help you Grow your Business on Social Media:a...
