Mental Health Awareness Month with Xan You Matter Foundation

Real estate professionals face unique challenges, from unpredictable markets to emotional labor and the constant pressure to perform. These stressors can take a toll on even the most experienced agents. 

In this episode, we sit down with Arizona REALTORS® Member Debra E-Leon and Ignacio Leon, certified Mental Health First Aiders and founders of the Xan You Matter Foundation, to explore why mental wellness is not just personal but professional.

They share their journey following the loss of their son Xan, the importance of seeking help, and how they’ve turned grief into advocacy and education. 

From identifying the signs of burnout and depression to practical ways to build resilience and community support, this conversation is for anyone who's ever felt overwhelmed in their career.
