while living at the Playboy Mansion as one of Hugh Hefner’s girlfriends alongside Holly Madison and Bridget Marquardt.
What’s next for Kendra in Season 2?
What can you tell us about what viewers can expect from Season 2?
Year one I was just breaking into the business.
Being new and famous doesn’t help.
In Season 2, I’m finally understanding the business, getting knowledge, [and] learning.
This was real, this was on camera, and it was so cool.
I’ve captured so many … moments of my life on camera.
The first sale in my real estate career was filmed, and I was over the top.
It was a feeling I’ve never felt before.
I was able to learn something and earn something, and it felt so powerful and so good.
To sell a house and to list a house isn’t easy.
This season is a whole different vibe.
It’s down to the nitty-gritty.
It’s down to real business.
It’s down to getting into the trenches of real estate, and it got really heavy this year.
It’s not all fun and games.
It takes a toll on your mental health.
I started getting extreme anxiety because it’s not just me in a room.
It’s the world watching and a company watching and production in the room.
You’re like, “Oh my God.”
There’s no such thing as easy.
Nothing’s just given to you.
Nothing’s just been given to me.
I’ve created it from my blood, sweat, and tears.
It’s been more of a challenge than easy in my life.
And I’m more alone I don’t have a nanny, no housekeeping.
I have to manage all the time.
It’s a lot to manage, and nothing comes easy, so I have to push so hard.
It’s about staying focused day to day on what you really want because there are so many distractions.
It’s so important to stay focused on what you truly want.
There are so many distractions all around … Social media …
It’s all about knowing who you are and not allowing the past to define who you are.
It wasn’t going to [be easy].
The thing about me is I’m so real.
I can’t fake anything, so you’re getting a real experience through my journey.
For instance, I wasn’t going to fake-sell a house.
We’re going to stay there because I’m not going to fake it.
We were able to capture it for the camera, for the show, for you.
That sale was for me and my children.
We could have easily faked it like other shows do, but nope.
I was so proud of myself.
I don’t remember the last time I felt proud of myself like that.
It was strength I’ve never known before.
This is unlike any other show.
This is so raw.
It’s not the glamorous thing you’re all used to.
It’s raw, and it’s part of a real journey.
Her move to real estate
How did you decide to make that leap into real estate?
I was down and depressed and in a dark place for a very long time.
For about four to five years, I was in a dark place.
I had nothing to do.
I had no job, because my only job was just being me, Kendra.
How do you make that a job moving forward?
you might’t, so I’m like, “God, what am I supposed to do now?”
I didn’t think fame was coming back.
And because I chose that path, I was able to have a show again.
It is what it is.
It’s a part of it.
It’s so important to me.
Real estate has become my life.
That’s all I talk about, dream about.
It makes me really happy to do it, but it’s not easy.
I’m probably turned down 50 times a day.
It’s not easy for a celebrity to do, either, so I have to work extra hard.
I have to work so hard because people are like, “Aren’t you that Playboy girl?”
It makes me happy.
It all works hand-in-hand together.
I am so beyond grateful for this chance in my life.
It’s nothing less than a blessing.
What’s coming up next for you and the show?
This is a journey.
I love doing the show.
I love filming my journey, but this process I want to take over.
I want to be the best real estate agent in the world, and I’m not there yet.
We need to get there, and I want to show you guys that I can do it.
My goal is to truly get to that point.
I’m working so hard every day to get to that point.
If there’s a Season 3, you’re going to see a whole other ballgame.
