Renee shares how burnout in healthcare led her to pivot into real estate and build multiple thriving businesses in Central Texas. From navigating identity shifts to balancing growth with integrity, Renee discusses personal development, time management, emotional intelligence, and staying grounded while scaling. If you’ve ever felt torn between your responsibilities and your dreams, Renee’s journey is proof that reinvention is not only possible—it can be powerful.

About the Guest:Renee Gillette is the founder of Central Lux Realty, a construction company, and a development firm, all based in Central Texas.
