As I cradled my newborn baby in my arms, tears of dread and realization streamed down my face. The thought of returning to my job as the Chief Operating Officer of a large real estate team filled me with an overwhelming sense of anxiety, stress, and despair. Despite the lucrative nature of my position, the price was too high – I couldn’t let any job take away the peace that I was feeling from this tiny human.

In that moment of vulnerability, I knew something had to change. The unfortunate thing was that I knew the organization I was in wouldn’t, so I knew the change had to start with me. So the decision that lay ahead of me wasn’t just about leaving a job; behind an entire way of life that no longer aligned with my values or my vision for the future. It was the day I chose to pave a new path for myself and for other real estate professionals like me, who are caught in, and tired of, the relentless cycle of hustle culture.

The Decision to Quit

Leaving behind the security and identity of being the COO was daunting. The role had consumed my life, demanding more than I was willing to continue giving. Yet, the realization that I was on the wrong path entirely became the catalyst for change. My experience had shown me the dark side of the real estate industry – overwork, inefficiency, and the unsustainable pursuit of growth at any cost.

The real estate industry is notorious for its hustle culture. Professionals are often overworked, with a blurred line between personal and professional life.
