Kendra Wilkinson Opens Up on Mental Health Struggles in Emotional Real Estate Post
Kendra Wilkinson has spoken candidly about the emotional strain she says she has been experiencing while building her career in real estate, admitting that she has been struggling behind the scenes despite presenting a composed public image.
The 40-year-old television personality and former Playboy model shared a reflective post on Instagram on June 7, alongside a poolside photo, where she opened up about the pressure she feels in both her professional and personal life.
Wilkinson, known for Kendra Sells Hollywood, said she has recently found it difficult to maintain a positive front while dealing with growing internal stress.
“I don’t know what’s in the air right now but wow. I don’t feel good,” she wrote. “I’ve been smiling like everything is ok when it just isn’t.”
She went on to explain that working in luxury real estate in Los Angeles has come with unexpected emotional challenges, especially as a woman navigating a male-dominated environment.
Wilkinson described the industry as one where relationships matter as much as transactions, noting that the personal side of the business can be just as demanding as the professional side.
“The world of real estate isn’t just transactions, it’s people,” she wrote. “People we work around, people we work with in deals and more.”
She also reflected on how she entered the field during a major transition in her life, saying she chose real estate after her divorce when she needed a fresh start and stability.
“I signed up for real estate without a TV show, without agents and managers telling me to,” she said. “I did it because I had no work and had to choose a career after my divorce and being alone.”
Wilkinson was previously married to Hank Baskett from 2009 until their divorce was finalized in 2019. The former couple share two children, Hank IV and Alijah Mary.
Since stepping into real estate, she said she has remained fully committed to her new path, even as she has faced setbacks and emotional challenges along the way.
“My heart has been in it every day since,” she wrote. “But I’ve hit a major wall with people. I feel like I’ve been used for my celebrity and then pushed aside.”
She added that while she understands she is still gaining experience in the field, she feels her efforts and progress have not always been fully recognized.
Despite the difficulties, Wilkinson emphasized that she still values the work and the connections she has made through her career shift.
However, she closed her message on a somber note, admitting she is currently feeling deeply discouraged.
“Today, I feel so beyond heartbroken with how things are going,” she wrote.
