Reflect, Reset, and Re-Engage

Listen On:

Ever feel like you’re running a marathon but you can’t remember why you started running in the first place?

That was our entire 2025. Between two destination weddings, a home renovation that went 300% over budget (with roofers literally falling through our ceiling THREE TIMES), rental property turnovers, portfolio decisions, and trying to be present for our aging parents and adult kids—we were completely burnt out.

In this raw and honest episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on what really happened, why we had to hit pause on the podcast, and what we learned about saying no, setting boundaries, and protecting our time as landlords and business owners. We’re talking about the seven-plex we walked away from, the winter vacancies we’ll never do again, helping our son with his first rental property, and why our 2026 word is RESET.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed or like your rental business is running you instead of the other way around, this episode is for you. Let’s talk about what really matters.
