Kendra explained that the setbacks were taking a toll on her.

The TV star - who has Hank, 16, and Alijah, 12, with her ex-husband - said: "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."

Kendra recently wrote on Instagram: "Sometimes I get realllllllly nervous doing real estate in front of my fans and followers to see because what if I fail? What if people aren't taking me seriously? What if I make mistakes? It's not like I'm starting with just a few people from my family and friends... it's a lot larger of an audience either rooting for me or rooting down on me. Plus my past isn't Bible friendly but I'm doing my best to manage it all and make enough to put a roof over our heads. All I can really do right?

"I recently went through some tough moments in my business and i can tell you that this business will hurt you if you're not careful. I'm learning to adjust to that but not let it pull me down. Still treading!!!

"I am on my own at the moment with no partner and it feels pretty cool. Feeling like I'm learning more than ever and understanding!! Yesterday, I went out with a client to look at homes and I felt soooo good. Like I graduated to the next level!! So proud of myself!!!

"I also got a call from a previous seller saying "if anyone can sell my home, it's you". I wanted to cry hearing that!! So grateful!!

"Anyways, little update for ya. Hope all is well!! (sic)"
