The Property Management Podcast with That Property Mum

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 WalkerWe 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 spaceKylie’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...

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 LeeWe 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.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/...

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 HaltonWe 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 termKylie’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

If you’ve ever come back from a break full of motivation only to feel completely overwhelmed by day two, this episode is for you. The emails are piling up, the to-do lists are multiplying, the kids are still on school holidays, and you’re wondering how it all got so chaotic so quickly.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 WalkerWe 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 overwhelmKylie’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-call35 AI Prompts to help you Grow your Business on Social Media:a...

If you’ve ever felt like you’re posting on social media but not getting real results, this episode will feel very familiar. Posting every now and then. Boosting posts and hoping they work. Avoiding video because it feels uncomfortable. Relying on word of mouth and telling yourself online marketing isn’t really necessary.In this episode, I give you insight into one of my workshops and we break down the biggest digital marketing mistakes property managers and business owners are making and what actually works when it comes to growing visibility online.This is Part 2 of the series, where the focus is on social media strategy, video content, Meta ads, the AI tools that help your business get found online, and how to build a simple, consistent digital marketing strategy that works in the background of your business. One that helps you attract the right clients, grow brand awareness, and become the go to property manager in your local area.From organic social media content and Instagram Reels, to Facebook and Instagram ads and AI tools for content creation, this episode clearly explains what modern digital marketing looks like and why consistency and strategy matter more than ever. ”Digital marketing isn't just a plug and play thing that you can copy and paste from YouTube or Google. It takes time to build the right systems, strategy and make them all work for your business. The difference between businesses that stay invisible online and those that become visible is this: They simply stop treating marketing like a hobby and start treating it like a growth engine" - Kylie WalkerWe cover:Why posting consistently on social media matters and how platforms like Instagram and Facebook reward active accountsWhich social media metrics actually matter on Instagram and Facebook and how to use them to decide what to post nextWhat viral content really means on social media and why reaching non followers helps grow your audienceHow short form video on Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts builds brand awareness fasterWhy boosting posts is different from running Meta ads and how paid ads support long term business growthHow combining organic social media posting with paid ads helps you grow faster than using just one approachThe key AI tools I use and how they can help with content creation, research, CRM systems, and business automationKylie’s Resources:Property Management Growth School: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/TPM-BDMSchoolDigital Marketing School: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/digitalschoolThat Property Mum Courses: https://www.thatpropertymum.com.au/courses/The PM Accelerate Membership: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/accelerateBook a Strategy Call with Kylie:a...

If you feel like you’re doing all the right things online but still not getting the visibility, leads, or enquiries you expected, this episode is for you!Because the problem is not that digital marketing is too complicated. It’s that most property professionals are still thinking like brick and mortar business owners in a digital world.Your clients are no longer walking past your office window.

Growth is the buzzword in every property management boardroom right now–but let’s be real, it’s never felt harder to achieve. In one of our most downloaded episodes, I chat with Steven Marinucci, a rent roll finance specialist and trusted advisor in the commercial banking space.

Have you ever sat across from an investor who’s just had a tenant stop paying rent, damage the property, and disappear, and felt that knot in your stomach because you know what comes next? The paperwork. The tribunal. The waiting. The emotional load. And often, no real financial recovery at the end of it.In property management, we’re taught that court is just part of the job. That it’s the “proper process”. That insurance is optional or a last resort. But what if that belief is actually costing property managers time, energy, and investor trust?In this episode, I chat with Brenda Hunter, National Products and Sales Manager at the Property Insurance People, and a former property manager who understands exactly what it’s like to sit on both sides of the fence. We unpack the real difference between insurance claims versus going to court, why so many landlords are underinsured without realising it, and what property managers need to know to better protect their investors and themselves.This conversation goes beyond theory. We talk about real claims, real mistakes, and real scenarios property managers face every day. If you’ve ever felt torn between “doing the right thing” and doing what actually gets results for your owner, this episode will give you clarity.“Insurance is a backup plan. It’s peace of mind for the landlord but it’s also peace of mind for the property manager knowing there’s coverage when something goes wrong.” - Brenda HunterWe cover:Why insurance claims are often faster, less stressful, and more effective than tribunal action for recovering money after tenant default or damageThe critical difference between building insurance and landlord insurance, and why many landlords with houses are unknowingly underinsuredWhat landlord insurance actually covers, including rent default, loss of rent, tenant damage and contentsWhy rent default is one of the most common and costly claims and what property managers should check in every policyCommon content coverage gaps that catch landlords out, including dishwashers, floating floors, underlay, wardrobes and owner supplied appliancesHow insurers assess tenant damage and the difference between accidental, deliberate and malicious damageThe biggest mistakes property managers make when lodging claims and how documentation can make or break the outcomeWhen to lodge an insurance claim and why waiting for all the information can slow everything downWhy strata building insurance does not replace landlord insurance and where liability risks still sitKylie’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:

What happens when you stop playing small and truly own your worth–especially when it comes to money? In one of our most-downloaded episodes, I sit down with best-selling author and money mindset mentor Denise Duffield-Thomas to unpack the mindset shifts that help women charge premium prices, release money fear, and step into first-class lives.

Have you ever reached the end of the year feeling exhausted, like you worked hard but still didn’t feel fulfilled? Like you ticked goals off a list, chased milestones, stayed busy, yet something still feels misaligned. As planners come out and the pressure builds to reinvent yourself by January 1st, it’s easy to fall back into resolutions that come from pressure rather than presence.In this episode, I share why I no longer believe in traditional New Year’s resolutions and what I do instead. After years of setting big goals, hustling to achieve them, and still feeling disconnected from myself, I realised the problem wasn’t discipline or motivation. It was alignment. Goals that look good on paper don’t mean much if they don’t emotionally connect to the person you’re becoming.This episode invites you to slow down, reconnect with your future self, and cast a vision that actually feels supportive. Rather than asking what you want to achieve, I guide you to ask who you want to be and how you want to feel in your business, your body, and your boundaries as you move into 2026. “ You don't need a new planner. You don't need 47 goals. You just need a vision that feels so aligned, it pulls you forward without forcing it. So this year I invite you to skip the resolutions and instead come home to yourself. Let 2026 be the year that you feel good in your business, your body, your boundaries. and your becoming.” - Kylie Walker We cover:Why most New Year’s resolutions fail and how pressure-based goal setting leads to burnoutThe difference between setting goals and casting a vision for your future self so you can move toward what feels aligned and sustainable, not forced or drainingA guided visualisation to help you reflect on 2025 and consciously step into 2026Journaling prompts to clarify who you’re becoming before deciding what you’ll do and the goals and intentions you set for yourselfHow to set intentions instead of to do lists that leave you feeling overwhelmedQuestions to ask yourself before committing to any goal so it feels supportive, not stressfulWhy alignment creates momentum without hustle and allows progress to feel natural and grounded rather than driven by pressure or burnoutThe power of choosing non negotiables instead of endless goals and how they create focus, consistency, and a steady sense of direction throughout the yearHow redefining what success means to you can help you create more spaciousness, clarity, and fulfilmentKylie’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:

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:How I realised I wasn’t just busy, I was actually addicted to stress and why that’s so common in property managementShifting from reactive property management to building systems and processes that create calmer, more organised businessesHow scarcity thinking shows up as “there’s never enough time, money or support” and what changed when I challenged thatHow I released limiting beliefs that were impacting my confidence, leadership and business decisionsWhy rest isn’t something I earn once everything is done, but something I’m responsible for as a business owner and leaderHow mindset work supports clearer boundaries, better leadership and sustainable business growthWhat’s changed for me since I stopped overworking and started prioritising energy, clarity and long term impactKylie’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:...

As the year winds down, December can feel like the busiest, loudest, most exhausting month in property management. Phones ringing nonstop, urgent maintenance requests, owners wanting zero vacancy over Christmas, and you barely remembering what a proper lunch break looks like. Somewhere in the middle of the chaos, you probably promised yourself that this year would be different.In this episode I chat about what the end of year really looks like for property managers and why it so often ends in burnout, guilt, and working through holidays that were meant to be for rest. Drawing on my lived experience, I share practical, realistic strategies that help property managers protect their time, support their clients properly, and actually switch off without that constant “what am I forgetting?” feeling.This episode is especially for Property Manager’s who love their work but are tired of sacrificing family time, presence, and energy just to keep everything running. These 5 practical hacks help property managers manage end of year stress, set clear boundaries, and stay organised in a high pressure property management job.  “  You are allowed to rest. You don't need to earn it by crawling to the finish line, half dead. You've done enough. You are enough. It's the holiday season. Choose calm, choose boundaries, and most of all choose you and time with your family.” - Kylie Walker We cover:Why blocking out a dedicated pre closure prep day is the most effective way to reduce holiday stress in property managementHow automating holiday communications creates clarity, professionalism, and stronger boundaries with tenants and ownersA simple maintenance triage system that helps property managers respond to urgent maintenance issues without panic or holiday burnoutHow email and communication templates reduce decision fatigue and save hours during the end of year rushWhy planning your first day back before logging off helps property managers avoid post holiday overwhelm and ease back into workHow giving yourself permission to rest and set boundaries leads to better focus, better service, and less burnout in property managementKylie’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-call35 AI Prompts to help you Grow your Business on Social Media:a...

Have you ever had a moment in your life where you realise you’re not the same person you’ve been for years? The roles you’ve held and the identity you’ve been living in suddenly feel out of alignment, especially when you’re moving through big life transitions and personal growth.Most of us don’t talk about identity shifts, especially when they show up during big life transitions in our family, business or career. They can feel uncomfortable, emotional and hard to explain while you’re in the middle of all that change and personal growth. They usually arrive in seasons where something ends, something new begins and you’re standing in the middle trying to understand who you’re becoming next.In this episode, I chat about what it’s really like to let go of an old version of yourself and step into a new chapter. Which is exactly what’s happened to me recently. If you’ve been feeling stuck, restless or unsure of who you are becoming outside of your everyday roles, this conversation is for you.  “ You are allowed to outgrow the life that you built. You’re allowed to want something different, and you’re allowed to become someone new..”  - Kylie Walker We cover:What identity shifts really feel like when you’re going through big life changes like kids finishing school, career transitions and letting go of routines you’ve lived in for years How I realised my identity as a mum was changing and why it pushed me to reflect on what this next season might mean for me The impact of selling my business and leaving my hometown and how those decisions made me aware of how strongly my identity had been tied to certain rolesWhy so many of us stay stuck in old identities after we’ve outgrown them and how we can start noticing the signs that it’s time to shift into who we’re becoming nextHow to recognise when your current identity is no longer aligned with the person you’re becomingThe key questions that helped me understand what I truly want now rather than who I thought I needed to be in the pastHow journalling, reflection and checking in with my future self supported my personal growth and helped me reconnect with who I want to be in this next stage of lifeWhy it’s important to give yourself permission to disappoint people when you’re choosing a life that supports your wellbeing and goalsHow identity change happens through taking simple steps at a time, not through burning everything down at onceKylie’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 -
