Kendra Wilkinson opens up about professional setbacks in real estate

The social media update offered a rare, unfiltered look at the pressures accompanying her career transition. Wilkinson, who pivoted to real estate in 2020 after passing her California licensing exam on the first attempt, described the emotional toll of professional rejection. She explained that even after investing significant effort into a deal, being fired by a client left her feeling vulnerable and questioning her path.

This is not the first time the mother of two has voiced concerns about gender bias in her field. She has previously stated that working in a space dominated by men often makes her feel unwelcome, noting that she frequently hides her internal struggles behind a professional smile. Wilkinson, who turned to real estate following a difficult divorce from Hank Baskett and a period of severe depression, views this work as a critical component of her personal stability. While she briefly stepped away from the industry earlier this year to focus on her children and mental health, she remains committed to her role, later thanking fans for their support as she moved past the immediate sting of the lost deal.
