Kendra Wilkinson finds renewed confidence after heartfelt fan support

Kendra Wilkinson has thanked fans for their overwhelming support after opening up about the challenges of her real estate career, saying their messages have made her feel "less lonely."

The 41-year-old television personality recently became emotional on social media after revealing she had been fired by a client, admitting the setback had left her struggling professionally and personally.

Following her candid posts, Wilkinson returned to Instagram Stories to express gratitude for the encouragement she received.

"I have read so many messages from men and women relating to my last videos. I feel less lonely," she wrote.

"Thank you for sharing your stories."

The former Girls Next Door star added that she was embracing a fresh start.

"Feels like a new day. Cleaning, donating. Music on. Thanks again. I see all your messages!!!!!"

Earlier this week, Wilkinson revealed she had been left devastated after losing a client despite the work she had invested.

"When a client fires you … after all the work you put in... Ya. I'm struggling today guys," she wrote on Instagram.

In a tearful video, the former reality star said she was doing her best to balance work while raising her two children, Hank, 16, and Alijah, 12, whom she shares with ex-husband Hank Baskett.

"I'm a good person, and it's just such a struggle right now finding people to work with me, getting fired, people being rude and mean — it's taking a toll," she said.

Wilkinson has also spoken openly about the pressure of building a new career in the public eye, admitting she sometimes worries about failing while millions watch.

"Sometimes I get realllllllly nervous doing real estate in front of my fans and followers... What if people aren't taking me seriously? What if I make mistakes?" she wrote in a recent Instagram post.

Despite the setbacks, Wilkinson said she is beginning to regain her confidence, sharing that she recently had a successful home viewing with a client and received an emotional vote of confidence from a previous seller.

"I felt soooo good. Like I graduated to the next level!! So proud of myself!!!"

She added that a former client recently told her, "If anyone can sell my home, it's you," admitting the words nearly brought her to tears and reminded her why she's determined to keep moving forward.
