On the outside, everything can look successful. The brand is strong. The team is in place. The numbers might even be growing. But behind closed doors? It can feel like chaos, doubt and quiet damage control. In this episode, I sit down with Jaharn Torok, Principal of Ray White Lithgow, to talk about the season where things weren't running smoothly – when the right people weren't in the right seats, when avoidance felt easier than confrontation, and when leadership required a level of courage she hadn't needed before.We talk about what it really takes to rebuild a struggling rent roll– from implementing stronger systems and processes to having the tough conversations most leaders avoid. Jaharn shares how stepping up, communicating better, and putting the right “bums on seats” transformed her business from reactive and stressful to structured and sustainable. There's powerful insight here for any sales agent looking to grow a property management arm, especially around due diligence, team structure and long-term strategy.This episode is a reminder that resilience isn't about pretending everything is fine – it's about making the hard decisions that move your business forward. If you've been feeling overwhelmed, questioning your leadership, or sensing that something in your business needs to shift, this conversation will leave you feeling empowered to take action, trust yourself again, and lead with clarity and confidence. “You go into damage control and know what you need to do, but it's having the courage to actually do it." - Jaharn TorokWe cover:Challenges in managing and rebuilding a property management businessPersonal journey and experiences in the real estate industryImportance of having the right team and communicationImplementation of systems and processes for business efficiencyEmotional and operational struggles faced by business ownersThe significance of external support and mentorshipGrowth mindset and resilience in overcoming difficultiesStrategies for integrating property management with salesRecruitment challenges and the importance of finding the right fitBenefits of being part of a franchise or brand in real estateKylie'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:...

Ep #101: Freedom, Flexibility, and Filling the Gap: How Melquea Smith Built a Creative Life Through Children's Book IllustrationSummaryIn this episode, I sit down with Melquea Smith, a children's book illustrator, author, and world traveler who's redefining what it means to build a creative life on your own terms. Fresh off five weeks in Belgium (with cats and a chicken!), Melquea shares how losing her nonprofit job became the catalyst for going full-time as an illustrator, why representation in children's books matters deeply, and how she's scaling her art through Brown Sugar Graphics—a clip art membership celebrating Black and Brown kids in all their beautiful diversity.We get into the nitty-gritty of how picture books actually get made, what authors should look for when hiring an illustrator, and why visual storytelling is so much more than "just drawing." Plus, Melquea drops gems on building a sustainable creative business, navigating perfectionism, and finding alignment between your work, your values, and your joy.If you've ever wondered what goes into those gorgeous picture books, dreamed of going location-independent as a creative, or just need permission to imagine a different way of living—this one's for you.Chapters00:19 - Introducing Melquea Smith: A Visionary in Children's Literature10:13 - Navigating Change: Embracing Freedom and Creativity20:00 - Transitioning to Children's Illustration35:06 - The Importance of Representation in Children's Literature56:41 - The Journey of Creating Diverse Clip Art01:02:01 - The Creative Journey of Brown Sugar GraphicsWhat We Talk AboutHow Melquea networked like a pro at the American Library Association Conference with custom postcards and a manuscript wish listLosing a job in the nonprofit world and choosing full-time illustration instead of going back to corporateLiving and working abroad: five weeks in Belgium, falling in love with the Netherlands, and becoming a global citizenThe actual process of illustrating a children's book—from thumbnails to color scripting to final artWhy illustrators aren't just "drawers"—they're visual storytellers, marketers, and business ownersThe severe lack of diverse, high-quality clip art featuring Black and Brown kidsHow Brown Sugar Graphics is filling that gap with joyful, authentic representations of kids with different skin tones, hair textures, body types, abilities, and moreWhat authors should know before hiring an illustrator (hint: it's not just about the art)The power of email lists, the exhaustion of social media, and showing up where it matters mostThings We Mentioned

If your marketing feels heavier, less effective, or more exhausting than it used to — you're not imagining it.In this episode of Run Your Damn Business, we talk about why so many capable small business owners feel stuck right now, even though they're working harder and doing “all the right things.” This isn't about motivation or mindset — it's about real shifts in the online market that most business advice hasn't caught up with.I break down what actually changed over the last few years, why strategies that once worked stopped converting, and how small business owners — especially women 40+ — were quietly set up to burn out by content-heavy, visibility-first models.In this episode, we talk about:Why marketing feels harder now than it did a few years agoHow saturation and loss of trust changed the online landscapeThe shift from social media as a place to learn to a place to performWhy visibility alone no longer creates demandHow content-heavy strategies disproportionately burn out small business ownersThe difference between being seen and being trustedWhat to focus on first when revenue feels unsteadyThis episode is about removing self-blame and restoring clarity. The problem isn't your experience, your work ethic, or your age — the market changed, and it requires a smarter approach.If you've been feeling frustrated, tired, or unsure why your marketing isn't working the way it used to, this conversation will help you understand what's actually happening — and where to focus instead.Hit play, take what you need, and then go run your damn business.MORE FROM ME: Follow me on Instagram → @janditchfield.co RATE, REVIEW, & FOLLOW ON APPPLE PODCASTS "Jan put words to what I've been feeling about my business for years and then gave me the strategies to move it forward."

In this heartfelt episode of the Property Management Podcast, I opened up about some of the personal and professional struggles I've been facing lately. From experiencing work breakdowns to navigating unexpected health scares, it's been a season that's tested my resilience in ways I didn't anticipate. Balancing the demands of running a business while still showing up for my family has felt overwhelming at times, and I wanted to share that honestly with my listeners–because I know I'm not the only one going through it.I also talked about the different “seasons” we go through in business: the startup phase, the messy middle, and the season of abundance. Each one comes with its own challenges and rewards. Right now, I'm in that messy middle, where things don't always go to plan, and growth often feels uncomfortable. But I reminded myself–and my audience–that these tough times are temporary. Just like any season, they eventually pass, and what we learn along the way shapes who we become as leaders and as individuals.More than anything, I wanted this episode to encourage women in property management who may be facing their own storms. I shared some of the ways I've been prioritizing self-care, leaning on clear communication, and choosing perseverance even when it feels hard. Growth is rarely neat and tidy; it's often messy, emotional, and unpredictable. But it's also deeply worthwhile. By embracing the journey and giving ourselves grace, we create the space to thrive–not just survive–in both business and life."You don't have to carry it all alone.
