The Real Cost of Imposter Syndrome on your Business With Kirsty Mattiazzo | Podcast | That Property Mum | The Real Cost of Imposter Syndrome on your Business With Kirsty Mattiazzo

Have you ever looked at someone in property management and wondered how they’re juggling a growing rent roll, a busy home life, and all the day to day pressure without completely falling apart? The truth is, it’s never as effortless as it looks from the outside. Behind every “successful” story is a lot of courage, clarity, and choosing to back yourself even when it feels uncomfortable.

When you peel back the layers, so much of property management comes down to showing up on the tough days, keeping things moving even when the juggle feels heavy, and finding your way through the challenges you never quite feel ready for. It’s in those imperfect, behind the scenes moments where the real growth usually happens.

In this episode, I chat with Kirsty about what it really takes to build a rent roll from scratch, navigate imposter syndrome, and grow a business that still allows her to be present for her family. You’ll hear how she leaned on community, set boundaries that protected her energy, created systems that supported her and learned to trust her capability even when it didn’t feel natural. Her journey is proof that you can build something steady, sustainable and successful without sacrificing your life in the process.

“’ve had to learn that I won’t be for everybody, and everybody won’t be for me either. I just stick with my people now. That’s helped me overcome it a little bit, because you realise you are worth it… everyone’s worth is just different..”
— Kirsty Mattiazzo
