In this episode, Gladys Koh shares what it was like to walk away from a high-flying corporate career of more than 30 years and step into real estate as a fresh RES.
She talks honestly about the fears she carried going in, the uncertainty of a commission-only income, the discomfort of putting herself on camera, and what it felt like to go from being the most experienced person in the room to starting from zero again.
She also shares what kept her going through the months with no income, why she quickly realised that semi-retired was never going to work for her, and how her definition of success has shifted completely from what it once was.
Join us for a candid, grounding conversation on second chapters, starting over with courage, and why it is never too late to do something that gives your life purpose.
