Girls In Property: Recent Episodes
Sophie, Athena & Julia
Join Sophie, Athena & Julia as they explore and explain navigating the world of property and business as female entrepreneurs. A weekly delve into the ups and downs of growing your own business featuring interviews with the movers and shakers of property and the wider business world. Hear the Girls chat about Property Disasters, discuss and and answer your questions and get excited about the next steps in their business adventures!
Everyone talks to you about the messy middle of business. Nobody talks to you about the messy middle of life.
That part of your 30s where the relationship ends, the job goes, the plan quietly falls apart and you're living alone for the first time wondering how on earth you got here.
In this episode of Girls in Property I'm joined by Emma Wilson, the Turning 30 coach, who rebuilt her whole life at 33 after leaving a toxic relationship, losing her job in the pandemic and learning to be on her own for the very first time. What she found on the other side wasn't what she expected. It was better.
We talk about the timelines we grip onto that were never ours. The engagement, the baby, the career move that should have happened by now. I open up about ending my five year relationship and starting again from scratch while everyone around me settles. We get into solo time, loneliness, attachment styles, the question nobody ever asks Emma about becoming a mother later, and her month off Instagram.
This one is for you if you're in a season that doesn't look like the plan.
Because the resistance usually means you should.
Have a listen and let me know what lands. And if you know a woman in her 30s who needs to hear this today, send it straight to her.

We talk a lot about building portfolios on this podcast, but far less about what happens when the portfolio starts running you instead of the other way around. That's exactly where commercial property comes in, and it's a strategy we have never covered until now.
In this episode of Girls in Property I'm joined by Kirsty Darkin, a commercial surveyor and investor who has spent years in a room where she was often the only woman. Kirsty walks us through how she got started, what commercial actually looks like day to day, and why so many of us have written it off before we've even looked at it properly.
We get into the real detail. How commercial differs from residential, what makes a good building and a good tenant, and how you add value through lease extensions, rent reviews and asset management rather than swinging a hammer. Kirsty shares how she funds deals using pensions, equity release, bridging and investor capital, where beginners tend to trip up, and how she sources off market through agents and auction houses. She's also refreshingly clear about the risks, because this is not a strategy where you can afford to skip your due diligence.
What stayed with me most was the conversation about time. Commercial, done properly, is one of the few strategies that genuinely gives you your life back. Kirsty has just celebrated ten years in business and her 50th birthday, and she speaks beautifully about designing a life you actually want to live rather than one that looks good on paper.
If you have ever thought commercial wasn't for you, this episode will change your mind.

Imagine this. Shift work finishing at 4am. Coming home to a house share where nobody understands why you sleep during the day. Nurses, paramedics and firefighters keeping this country running, with nowhere decent to actually rest.
Gemma Parsons saw that gap and decided to fill it herself.
In this episode of Girls in Property I'm joined by Gemma Parsons, who is behind the UK's first key worker only co living scheme. Gemma came from emergency services, so she lived the problem before she ever tried to solve it. What she's built is a scheme designed entirely around shift patterns, mental health and the reality of what it takes to look after people who spend their lives looking after everyone else.
We get into the real detail too. How she managed a major renovation while still holding down a full time job. Her first HMO in Liverpool and everything that taught her. The funding wall she hit with bridging finance, how she moved to private investment, and what it actually takes to build trust with investors when you're still relatively early in your journey.
This one is about purpose as much as it is about property. Gemma is honest about resilience, about burnout, about checking in with yourself when the pressure is on. If you've ever wondered whether your property business could stand for something bigger than the numbers, this conversation will light something in you.
Have a listen and let me know what you think.

You know that feeling when you walk into a room and instantly wonder if you're meant to be there. Everyone seems to already know each other. You question whether you belong.
In this episode of Girls in Property I'm joined by Amy Miller, our incredible Girls in Property community leader, who walked into her very first event alone and terrified. Today she's the one welcoming other women through those same doors.
Amy shares the honest version of her story. The self doubt before she booked her first retreat. Walking into that room on her own. The letter she wrote to her future self and what happened when she opened it a year later. We talk about borrowing confidence from the ordinary parts of life, why so many women delay showing up until they feel "ready", and how purpose changed everything for her business and her identity.
We also go deeper into the stuff that sits underneath it all. Rebuilding self esteem. Walking back into a gym when you feel like a stranger in your own body. Sharing your story instead of hiding it. And whether the hardest chapters of your life become the obstacle or the catalyst.
Because belonging isn't something you earn by being impressive enough. It's something you claim by walking in.
If you've been waiting until you feel confident enough, qualified enough or ready enough to step into a room, this one is for you. Your seat is already there.
Lets continue to learn & grow together, always x

Brain fog. Broken sleep. A body that suddenly feels like it belongs to someone else.
And nobody warned you.
In this episode of Girls in Property I'm joined by Adele Johnson, the Menopause Coach, for a conversation we have never had on this podcast before and one that is long overdue.
Adele went through menopause at 33. She talks openly about being dismissed by doctors and the point where she realised she was going to have to advocate for herself because nobody else was going to do it for her.
We break down the stages properly. Perimenopause, menopause, post menopause. What each one means and what you might be feeling in your 30s, 40s and beyond. Adele shares the symptoms most women never connect to hormones. Brain fog. Hair loss. Night sweats. Painful sex. The things you quietly Google at midnight and never mention again.
We talk about blood tests, the myths that stop women getting answers, and what all of this means when you're running a business and pouring into everyone but yourself.
Adele reframes the whole chapter. Not as something that happens to you. But as permission to listen to your body and finally put yourself somewhere near the top of your own list.
Because you deserve to understand what is happening in your own body.
Whether you're 32 and wondering, 45 and struggling, or supporting a woman who is, this one is for you. Press play, then send it to a friend who needs it.

Ever listened back to something you said a year ago and wondered if it actually played out the way you hoped?
I'll be the first to admit I've done this. It's easy to share the big goals. It's much harder to come back a year later and show what really happened.
This week I'm joined by Lucinda Axelsson, who's returning to the podcast one year on since her debut episode. Back then it was 0 to 6 properties in under a year. Now she's here to tell us the truth about what came next.
This is the frank, honest conversation I think this industry is missing. We get into what HMO conversions really look like in this market right now, the valuation shocks that caught her off guard, managing properties remotely, and the mindset it takes to keep going when things don't go to plan. Lucinda talks openly about choosing your hard, protecting her mental wellbeing, and why patience beats rushing every time. She also shares her bigger vision, from setting up a property fund to buying land and building a whole ecosystem.
If you want the real version of property investing, not the highlight reel, this one is for you.

Make more money. Hold onto more money. Protect more money.
We don't talk about this enough as women. Money is still treated like something we shouldn't mention, a very British kind of silence. I refuse to accept that.
In this episode of Girls in Property I'm joined by financial advisor, financial coach and SAS practitioner Fliss Wallace to blow that taboo wide open. This is a real, honest conversation about building wealth, protecting what you've worked so hard for, and finally feeling in control of your numbers as a woman in business.
We talk about why money still feels like a taboo subject for so many women, and why we hesitate to ask the questions that could change everything. Fliss shares her own journey into financial advice and opens up about the gender gap that still exists in wealth conversations. Because the truth is, you can't grow what you don't understand.
From cash flow planning and knowing your numbers to pensions, ISAs and tax efficiency, this episode is packed with the practical foundations every woman should have. But it goes deeper than making more money. We get into protection, wills and power of attorney. The pieces most of us avoid until it's too late. This isn't just about wealth. It's about safeguarding your future and the people you love.
We also explore business succession, exit planning and legacy, plus the power of surrounding yourself with the right people. Your Avengers list, as Fliss calls it. Because no one builds real wealth alone.
If money has ever felt overwhelming, or like something other people just "get," this is your invitation to start. It's never too late to take control, protect what matters, and build the future you deserve.

What if you could make an extra ยฃ1,000 in the next 30 days? No special skills. No big budget. No secret knowledge. Just you and a bit of effort.
In this episode of Girls in Property I'm joined by Sarah Poynton to talk about money. The real stuff. The blocks we carry without realising, the stories we inherited as kids, and the quiet fear so many women have around earning, showing up, and owning what they want.
Sarah shares her own journey from debt to designing a life on her own terms, and we break down practical, doable ways to bring that ยฃ1,000 in fast. Selling what you already own. Flipping finds from a car boot. Using AI and faceless content to create income online. This is the kind of stuff anyone can do. Because the only thing standing between you and that extra grand is usually the decision to start. No excuses.
We also go deeper into the things that really matter. Putting your own oxygen mask on first. Having your own money as your safety net and your freedom. Changing your mind at any age and refusing to apologise for it. This one is about taking your power back, financially and emotionally.
If you've been waiting for a sign to back yourself, this is it. Have a listen, then go and make your first move.
We have our community call tomorrow night at 7:30pm with Sarah on this exact topic, and I'm opening it up to non members too.

In this episode of Girls in Property I'm joined by Carla Eve, who went from having bailiffs at her door to building a property portfolio worth millions. Not by luck. Not by some secret nobody else has access to. But by starting exactly where she was, with the little she had, and refusing to stay there.
We talk about the early days when money was tight and resources were thin, and how she borrowed from family, leaned on the skills she already had and learned the rest through sheer necessity. She shares the creative strategies that changed everything for her, from title splits and bridging finance to turning properties into luxury mid term rentals for film and TV professionals. And we get into Project Gail, her most recent development, including the planning refusals, the community pushback and how she kept pivoting until it finally came together.
But this episode is about more than numbers. Carla weaves energy work and personal growth through everything she does, and her message is simple. Your strategy should follow your strengths, not the other way round. Because when you align your resources, your skills and your passions with real intention, success has a way of catching up with you.
If you're standing at the start of your own journey wondering whether someone like you could ever build something like this, this one is for you. Press play and let Carla show you what's possible.

Raising finance is the bit so many of us get stuck on. We find the deal. We can see the potential. And then we hit the part nobody teaches us. How to actually fund it.
For a lot of women that wall feels huge. Asking for money feels uncomfortable. Like we're being pushy, or haven't earned the right to ask yet.
This episode is here to change that.
In this episode of Girls in Property I'm joined by Susannah Cole, founder of The Good Property Company, who has raised over ยฃ8.3 million in private finance and paid every penny back.
Her story proves fundraising isn't about being the loudest person in the room. It's about relationships. Because that's the real secret. Raising finance isn't a transaction. It's trust, built slowly through honest conversations and consistently good work.
We cover the mindset holding so many women back, then get practical. The three main ways to raise finance. How to attract your very first investor from scratch. How she raised that ยฃ8.3 million in three and a half years and managed every relationship without losing credibility.
But this isn't just about money. It's about purpose, health, and celebrating every win along the way.
If you've ever wanted to raise finance but had no idea where to start, this one is for you. Take the tips, trust yourself, and play to win.

You know that feeling when you open LinkedIn, stare at the blank box, and quietly close the app again. You know there are investors and opportunities sitting right there. But something stops you actually pressing post.
In this episode of Girls in Property I'm joined by Beth Kirk, LinkedIn expert and founder of Socially Oxford, who helps women show up and be seen in a space so many of us avoid.
We talk about why LinkedIn feels so different to Instagram and Facebook. It is not about the highlight reel. It is about visibility, expertise and real connection. And in our world it is one of the best places to find investors.
Beth shares how to set your profile up so it actually works for you, from your headline to that all important About section written in your own voice and not AI fluff. We get into the fear of being visible. The overthinking. The perfectionism. That voice that says who am I to post this. Beth unpacks where it comes from and how to shift it.
She also breaks down how to create consistent value led content, repurpose what you already make on Instagram, and manage your DMs to build genuine relationships rather than drowning in spam.
This one is for the woman who knows LinkedIn could change her business but keeps putting it off.
Press play, set up that profile, and post the thing. Your next investor might already be waiting.

Ever wondered what it would actually take to build a property portfolio from the other side of the world? That little voice telling you it's too complicated, too risky, too far away.
In this episode of Girls in Property I'm joined by the brilliant Sophie Dand, who went from international geography teacher to building a multimillion pound portfolio whilst living abroad. Not just investing remotely but turning it into a full business helping other expats do the same.
Sophie breaks down how she spotted the gap in the market, the team she built around her (brokers, solicitors, builders) and why the UK is still one of the safest plays for anyone living overseas. She talks honestly about the fear, the analysis paralysis, and the moment she stopped waiting for permission and just started.
Because if you've been telling yourself you can't invest in UK property because you're not in the UK, this one is going to change your mind.

Ever felt like you're spinning in circles, working hard but not really sure where it's all leading? Like you're chasing every shiny opportunity but somehow ending up further from where you actually want to be? You're not alone, and this episode is going to feel like the wake up call you didn't know you needed.
In this episode of Girls in Property I'm joined by Guillaume Black, the founder of Property Filter, who has built one of the most powerful sourcing tools in the UK property space. But his story didn't start in property at all. Guillaume began his career engineering bridges in France before pivoting into the world of real estate and tech. And what he's learned along the way about clarity, resilience and continuous growth is something every single one of us needs to hear.
We get into the real meaning of clarity and why so many of us are stuck in analysis paralysis without even realising it. Because the truth is, you can't hit a target you haven't defined. Guillaume breaks down how knowing your end goal changes absolutely everything, from the deals you chase to the people you surround yourself with.
We also talk about rejection. The kind that knocks the wind out of you when you're just starting out and every estate agent seems to be ignoring your calls. Not just the practical side of dealing with it, but the mindset shift that turns rejection from a roadblock into rocket fuel. And we dive into how AI and technology are completely transforming the way property investors operate, what's actually worth your time and what's just noise.
This isn't just an episode about property. It's about becoming the kind of person who builds something meaningful, in business and in life.
If you're standing at the edge of a big decision, second guessing whether you've got what it takes, this one's for you. Press play and let's go.

This week I'm joined by the brilliant Taylor Smith to bust the myths around finance for women in business.
We get into the nitty-gritty of the financial foundations every entrepreneur needs, from setting up the right systems and software (think Xero, QuickBooks and Hubdoc) to actually understanding your profit and loss each month โ because revenue is great, but net profit is what really tells the story.
Taylor shares her journey from accountant to financial strategist, and we chat about the mindset shifts that turn numbers from something scary into a source of confidence and clarity.
We also cover why so many women shy away from their finances, how to forecast for growth, why your property portfolio should be treated like a business, and the power of community and celebrating those small wins along the way. Whether you're just starting out or a few years into your journey, this one's packed with practical takeaways to help you take control of your numbers and grow with intention.
So grab a cuppa and have a listen โ you've got this!

In the lead up to the Girls in Property Retreat 2026, I wanted to sit down and send you all a message. From me to you.
Friday is going to be full on. Incredible speakers, high energy, a room full of women ready to change their lives. But before all of that, I wanted a quiet moment with you all to speak from my heart, in case I don't get a chance to on the day.
In this episode of Girls in Property I'm taking you right back to the beginning. The redundancy. The messy, unplanned start of Girls in Property. The quarter that nearly broke me. Not just the highlight reel but the real bits too.
We cover the stuff that actually moves the needle. Subconscious rewiring and identity upgrades. Buy-refurbish-refinance, title splitting, buying businesses. Pushing through rejection, fear and imposter syndrome. And why mindset will always beat strategy.
And I wanted to say a big thank you. To every single one of you who has been listening from the start, and to those who have joined along the way. You are the reason Girls in Property is what it is.
Lets continue to learn & grow together, always x

What if losing your job was actually the beginning of everything?
For so many women, the idea of getting into property feels overwhelming, too complex, too expensive, too much to figure out while you're already juggling everything else. But what if the biggest leap you ever took started not from a place of confidence, but from necessity?
In this episode of Girls in Property I'm joined by Amanda Woodward, a seasoned property investor and manager with over 15 years of experience, who went from redundancy in 2010 to building a diversified portfolio that's stood the test of time and life.
Amanda gets honest about what it really takes to start and scale in property management. She talks about her very first deal in Stoke-on-Trent, what hunger and action taught her that no course ever could, and why knowing when to pivot, from HMOs to serviced accommodation to larger developments has been one of her greatest business assets. Because strategy isn't about picking one lane and staying in it forever. It's about reading the road and being willing to change direction.
We also get into the practical stuff how to set up a property management business even with limited funds, why outsourcing and systemisation aren't luxuries but survival tools, and how AI and technology are quietly transforming the way property portfolios are run. Not just theory. Real, actionable steps you can take right now.
And for the women listening who are doing all of it, the job, the family, the ambition. Amanda speaks directly to you. She shares her own experience of balancing motherhood, a career, and building something of her own, and why celebrating your progress (not just your destination) is what keeps the momentum alive.
If you've been waiting for a sign to start, to scale, or to simply keep going, this is it.

Ever felt like you're hiding behind your business instead of actually showing up in it?
In this episode of the Girls in Property podcast I'm joined by Jacquie Lawes, personal branding expert and mentor, and we're having a really honest conversation about what it actually means to build a brand that feels like you, not just a logo, a colour palette, or a polished feed.
Jacquie shares her own journey from introverted creative to confident speaker and mentor. Because she didn't start out comfortable being visible. She had to do the work. And that's exactly what makes this conversation so important.
We talk about identity and the shift that needs to happen. Not just what you do, but who you are and how that needs to come through in everything you put out into the world. Because when your brand is disconnected from your identity, people can feel it. And it costs you clients, connection, and confidence.
We also get into the practical side. Websites, visibility, content, and why faceless businesses are quietly holding so many women back from the growth they're actually capable of. Not just online presence for the sake of it, but showing up in a way that builds genuine trust.
And if you're an introvert who's been telling yourself that visibility just isn't for you, brace yourself, this one is going to challenge that story.
If you've been playing small and you know it, this is your sign to take up more space.

If youโve ever felt like building wealth sounds complicated, overwhelming, or just not something thatโs really โfor youโโฆ this episode is going to shift that.
In this episode of Girls in Property Iโm joined by Kevin Whelan, founder of Wealth Builders, and weโre having a really honest conversation about what wealth actually looks like, especially for women, and how you can start creating it in a way that feels clear and doable.
We go into the seven pillars of wealth and break them down in a way that actually makes sense. Not just theory, but how you can start applying this to your own life, your income, and your future.
We also talk about diversification, because wealth is not just one thing. It is about building different streams, different opportunities, and understanding how it all fits together.
And one of the biggest parts of this episode is pensions. We get into SAS pensions and how they can be used within property, and how you can start thinking about your pension in a completely different way. Not just something for later, but something you can actively use to build wealth now in a more tax efficient way.
This is one of those episodes that really opens your eyes and gets you thinking bigger.
If you are serious about building wealth, this is for you.

Ever felt stuck in a 9 to 5 and wondered what life could look like on the other side?
In this episode, Iโm joined by Tammy Hart, who shares her journey from corporate life into becoming a full time property investor and what that transition really looked like behind the scenes.
But her story starts way before property.
Tammy opens up about working in a slaughterhouse, where she was the only woman and the only Brazilian, and what that environment was really like for her. What she had to navigate, what she experienced, and the resilience she built through that chapter.
Because those moments shape you. They build the strength you end up relying on later.
We also talk honestly about leaving the structure and security of a corporate job and stepping into something completely different.
The version of entrepreneurship we often imagine sounds like freedom and flexibility. But the reality can feel very different.
No one is telling you what to do. No one is setting your schedule. And suddenly you are fully responsible for your time, your energy, and your direction.
And thatโs the part no one really teaches us. How to manage ourselves.
This is a real conversation about the messy middle. The discipline it takes, the mindset shifts that come with it, and what it actually looks like to build something for yourself.
If youโve been feeling the pull to do something different, but also the weight of what that might mean, this one is for you.

When we think about building wealth, most people immediately think about property.
But what if there was another way to create serious income without tenants, refurbishments, or managing building work?
In this weekโs episode, I sit down with Akhtar Khan, a business psychologist and acquisitions expert with over 30 years of experience buying businesses. And honestly, this conversation opened my eyes to a completely different way of thinking about investing.
Akhtar shares how buying businesses can be one of the most powerful ways to build income and diversify your portfolio. Instead of focusing only on property deals, he explains how you can acquire profitable businesses using creative deal structures and smart strategy.
We talk about how someone could make ยฃ15,000 from a single deal without ever managing a tenant, builder, or refurbishment project.
And the most interesting part? Many of the strategies overlap with the skills many of us already use in property.
This episode is all about opening your mind to new opportunities, especially for women who want to step into bigger investor roles and start thinking beyond traditional property strategies.
If you have ever wondered what else is possible when it comes to building wealth, this conversation will definitely get you thinking.
Interested in learning more?
If this episode has sparked your curiosity, we are hosting a live webinar on Wednesday 18th March where we will show you how you can get involved in buying businesses and start exploring this strategy for yourself.

In this episode of the Girls in Property podcast, I am joined by Celia Seale for a really honest conversation about buying blocks of flats.
It is something a lot of people in property talk about, but not many speak openly about the full picture. So in this chat we get into the good, the bad and the ugly of it all.
Celia shares her journey in property and how she has approached diversification through buying blocks of flats. We talk about the realities behind these kinds of deals, the things that can catch people out, and what you should be looking out for if you are thinking about buying your first block.
This episode is packed with practical guidance, real life lessons, and the kind of conversation that does not get shared enough in the property world.
We also talk about resilience, learning through experience, and why having the right people around you on the journey makes such a difference.
As always, tune in for a raw and powerful chat between 2 women sharing the real side of property.

This week on the Girls in Property podcast, Iโm joined by the incredible Samantha Hearn.
Now, we could have spoken about nearly anything. We had so many conversation topics to choose from.
Sam is a seven figure, multi million pound business owner. We could have talked strategy. Scaling. Sales. The big business moves.
But we didnโt.
Because when I think about the conversations I have with you all most frequently, it is not just about property or business growth.
It is about motherhood. It is about mum guilt.
It is about building something big while feeling pulled in 100 different directions.
It is about wondering why you are not where you thought you would be by now.
Some of you are mums trying to grow a business whilst holding everything together at home.
Some of you are not mums and are quietly carrying the weight of that, especially when life has not unfolded the way you expected.
And in this episode, Sam and I come at this from very different angles.
We talk about fertility.
We talk about identity.
We talk about guilt.
We talk about what it really looks like behind the scenes, even when things look shiny from the outside.
It is raw, honest and powerful. Just two women bearing their souls to help other women feel seen & heard.
There is no one size fits all answer in this episode. You will take from it what you need. And I really hope it meets you exactly where you are right now.
This episode is for you x

In this episode of the Girls in Property Podcast, I sit down with Danielle Hobson and we have a proper healthy debate around business. I share my view that business can feel hard at times, especially when you are in the thick of running it day to day. Danielle brings a different perspective, that business itself is not actually the hard bit, but that we as humans can sometimes make it feel that way.
We talk openly about the realities of entrepreneurship, the pressure, the growth, the lessons, and also the importance of community, self trust, and celebrating your wins along the way. We also touch on energetics, mindset, and how much self awareness plays a part in the results we create in business.
It is one of those conversations where you might find yourself nodding along to one side, then the other. And that is exactly the point. There is space for both.
If you have ever questioned whether business is meant to feel hard, or wondered if there is another way to experience it, this one will really get you thinking.
As always, take what feels right for you, and trust your own path x

What if you stopped waiting until you felt ready and just started?
This week, I am joined by Carly Anderson, also known as Flipping Belfast, and her story is such a powerful reminder that you do not need to have it all figured out before you begin.
Carly shares how she moved from working as a civil servant into property flipping, learning as she went and using skills she already had. We talk honestly about the challenges she faced, how she pushed through them, and how she has gone on to complete flip after flip across Belfast.
We also get into the real side of property. Celebrating your wins, building a team you can rely on, understanding the role investors play, and learning how to move through the property market with confidence.
This episode is really about courage, backing yourself, and remembering you do not have to be perfect to start. Sometimes you just need to trust yourself and just flipping do it.
If you are dreaming about getting into property or growing what you have already started, this episode will remind you that big things are possible when you take that first step.

In this episode of Girls in Property, Iโm joined by Louise Reynolds to talk about something we do not hear enough about in propertyโฆ staying safe.
We talk a lot about moving fast and finding exciting deals, but what about the part that protects you? The due diligence, the checks and the decisions that stop you making costly mistakes.
Louise shares her journey into property and why being cautious is not a weakness, especially for women, when it is done properly. We talk about how to protect yourself when working with sourcers, entering joint ventures, buying at auction and trusting other people with your money and your future.
We also get into the practical side
Running your numbers properly
Adding contingencies
Checking titles
Understanding demand
This episode is about going into property with your eyes open. Property will always involve risk, but there is a big difference between blind risk and calculated risk.
If you want to build your property journey with confidence and clarity, this is a really important listen. Grab a cup of tea and settle in with me.

In this episode of the Girls in Property podcast, I sit down with subconscious coach and mentor Natasha Clarke for an honest and powerful conversation about our belief system and understanding who you are before you jump into any strategy.
We talk about what happens when things feel sticky in business or property, when a strategy is not working, or when you feel like you are doing all the right things but something still feels off. Natasha shares the difference between wobbling and pivoting, and why changing the story you tell yourself when things go wrong can shift everything.
Natasha opens up about her own journey, including a really tough year where her family faced serious health challenges and how that affected her identity and self worth. We talk about how easy it is to tie your value to money or results, and why the inner work matters just as much as the strategy.
This episode is for you if you are starting out in property or already in a strategy that feels heavy or confusing. We talk about building a life you actually love, designing life on your terms, and defining what success really means to you.
Natasha also shares simple tools for handling stress and emotions, including her ACI method Awareness, Clearance and Identity, which helps you understand what is really driving your choices beneath the surface.
This is a conversation about property, but more than that, it is about you, your life and creating success in a way that feels good.

In this episode of the Girls in Property podcast, I am joined by Alex Fidoe for one of those conversations that really makes you stop and think about what is possible when you refuse to give up.
Alex shares her journey from working in a corporate role to becoming a self taught property developer, and we dive deep into one of her boldest projects yet converting an old abattoir into something completely new. This is not a glossy overnight success story. We talk honestly about the planning battles, the knock backs, the moments where it would have been easier to walk away, and the sheer belief Alex had to hold onto when others said no.
This episode is a powerful reminder that property is not just about houses. It is about vision, resilience, and being willing to look outside the box. If you have ever thought about commercial property, scaling up, or taking on something that feels a bit scary but exciting at the same time, this conversation will really land.
We also talk about the importance of community, surrounding yourself with the right people, and why backing yourself matters more than having all the answers from the start.
Alexโs story is proof that you do not need permission to dream bigger, and that sometimes the most unexpected spaces can turn into the most incredible opportunities.
This episode is for you if you are ready to challenge what you think property looks like and start believing that you can do things your own way too.

This week on the Girls in Property podcast, I am joined by our first formal guest for 2026. The incredible Becky Lotto, for a really honest and uplifting conversation all about being boldly brilliant as we move into 2026.
This episode is full of truth, encouragement, and real life perspective. Becky shares her story openly, including everything she has been through and how she has chosen not to let any of it hold her back. We talk about growth, confidence, community, and what it actually looks like to back yourself even when things feel uncomfortable.
If 2026 has not quite gone the way you imagined so far, or even if it has and you want to build on that momentum, this episode is here to help you reset, refocus, and properly kickstart the rest of your year. It is about moving forward with intention, leaning into who you really are, and giving yourself permission to be boldly brilliant.
We also dive into practical tips to help you supercharge your 2026, from letting go of what no longer fits, to breaking big goals down into manageable steps, to understanding that sometimes stopping is just as brave as starting.
This is one to listen to with a cup of tea, a notepad, and an open mind.

To kick off the very first Girls in Property podcast episode of 2026, I am welcoming back someone I know so many of you absolutely love. My mum, Yolanda Dobson.
She is very much a firm favourite in this community, so it felt only right to start the new year with her.
This episode is all about keeping it real.
As we step into a brand-new year and welcome in the year of the horse, this felt like the perfect time to pause, reflect and gently look ahead at what might be possible. Not in an overwhelming way, but in a grounded and honest one.
Me and mum chat about setting intentions for 2026, celebrating the small wins, and finding calm when life feels busy. We talk about curiosity, positivity, family, and staying connected to yourself while juggling work and home life.
You will hear the real dynamic between us. The laughter, the honesty, and the values that sit at the heart of Girls in Property. We also explore what success really means, the role joy plays in our lives, and why genuine connection always matters.
A heartfelt and honest start to 2026, and one I hope makes you feel grounded, inspired and welcomed into the new year with Girls in Property.

Rightโฆ this is it.
The final episode of the Girls in Property Podcast for 2025.
I honestly cannot believe I am writing that. We have recorded over 45 episodes this year and this one feels really special. It felt right to end the year doing what I always do best on this podcastโฆ being open, honest, a little emotional, and sharing what I have really learnt along the way.
In this final episode of 2025, I bare my soul and reflect on the year that has been. The highs, the challenges, the growth, the tears, the laughter, and everything that came with building Girls in Property alongside my own personal journey.
As always, I cry. I laugh. And I share as honestly as I can, because that is what this space has always been about. Adding value, sharing the real stuff, and hopefully helping you feel a little less alone on your own journey.
I talk you through the 5 biggest lessons that 2025 taught me. These are not just business or property lessons. They are life lessons. Lessons around rest, alignment, trusting yourself more deeply, letting go of old layers, and remembering why you started in the first place.
I also take time to celebrate what Girls in Property has become. The podcast, the community, the conversations, and most importantly the women who show up week after week. You are the reason this space matters and the reason I keep showing up, even on the hard days.
If you have had a tough year, if you have felt a bit lost, or if 2025 has quietly stretched and changed you in ways you are only just starting to see, I really hope this episode helps you feel more seen, more heard, and full of hope for what is coming.
This episode is a love letter to 2025, and an open invitation to step into 2026 with belief in yourself and what is possible for you.
Thank you for being part of Girls in Property.
Thank you for listening, sharing, and growing alongside me.
I love you all.

In this episode I sat down with the brilliant Kylie Anderson and we talked about this idea of asset intelligence. Not just property assets but the biggest one of all you.
So many women step into property believing they need more training or more time before they can start. But the truth is you might already be sitting on the skill sets confidence and value that could move you forward faster than you think.
Kylie shares how to look at your strengths through a different lens recognise what makes you valuable and start treating your knowledge and experience as something with real worth.
We also dive into branding intellectual property and how the way you see yourself can shape the wealth you build and the opportunities you attract.
If youโve ever felt like you arenโt ready or you donโt bring anything special to the table this episode is going to shift something for you in the best way.
So grab your cuppa and tune in....
AND if you want to learn how to turn what you already know into something scalable Kylie is hosting a one day live workshop in Central London on Friday 23 Jan 2026.

In this episode of the Girls in Property podcast I sit down with the brilliant Alice Dartnell to explore a question so many of us as entrepreneurs ask ourselves. Is mindset actually enough?
We hear so much about positive thinking, manifestation and keeping our energy high, but what about the deeper layers underneath all of that? What about the beliefs sitting in your subconscious that shape how you move, lead and make decisions long before you even realise it?
Alice and I talk honestly about the stories we carry without noticing, the ones shaped by childhood, culture, family and the many versions of ourselves who simply wanted to feel seen and safe. Unless we have the courage to explore those deeper layers, we end up holding ourselves back, even when we think we are doing all the right things.
We also open up about identity, belonging and what it is like growing up mixed race while trying to find your place in the world. It is a powerful reminder that who you are behind closed doors will always influence how you show up in your business.
Mindset matters, but it is not the whole picture. Manifestation is powerful, but it cannot replace honest inner work and action taking. And as I share in the episode, you simply don't know what you don't know until you give yourself the chance to look within.
This conversation is for the woman who wants more for herself, for her family and for her future, but knows she cannot get there through confidence alone. It is for the woman who is ready to understand the real roots of her beliefs so she can lead herself and her business with clarity, courage and truth.

In this episode I sit down with Chris Tremlett from UK Homes Network for one of the most honest and human conversations I have had on the podcast. You know I love going deeper than the shiny surface of the property world, and this chat does exactly that.
Chris opens up about his journey in property, the pressures he has faced behind the scenes, and the personal battles with mental health and addiction that shaped the person and the business he is building today. We talk about what it really feels like to navigate this industry, the parts people do not always see, and the power of letting yourself be vulnerable rather than pretending everything is fine.
We explore why the sector needs more real conversations, more care, and more community. Chris also shares the heart behind UK Homes Network and his vision for creating a safe space where people in property can connect, feel supported, and actually be themselves.
If you are someone who often feels like you are juggling a thousand things, battling burnout, or wondering if you are the only one who finds this journey overwhelming at times, this episode will make you feel seen. It is a raw, relatable and genuinely uplifting conversation about being human first and business second.
Grab a cuppa and settle in for this one. It is special.

This week I am sitting down with the brilliant Shelly Yates to open up the world of deal sourcing in a really honest and grounded way.
A lot of women look at deal sourcing as their first step into property because it feels fast paced and cash flowing. But there is a side to it that people do not always see, and Shelly talks openly about what it is actually like, the strengths that really matter, and the parts that can feel challenging too.
She shares her journey into property, what day to day sourcing looks like, and why understanding your own strengths can make such a difference. We also chat about the realities of being an entrepreneur, looking after yourself, and the comfort that comes from having people around you who get it.
Shelly also talks about The Vault, her platform that helps make sourcing clearer and easier for both investors and sources.

Ever stopped to notice where stress shows up in your body?
Maybe itโs that knot in your stomach before a meeting, the tight shoulders after a long day, or that constant buzz that never quite switches off.

If you have ever sat there wondering how on earth people are funding property deals, or felt like you cannot get started because you do not have pots of money behind you, this one is for you.
In todays chat your host Athena Dobson sits down with Motiul Islam to lift the lid on raising private finance in a real and honest way. We are not talking theory here. We share real life examples of how we have raised finance ourselves, the projects Motiul has invested in, how he first got started, and the steps that made the biggest difference along the way.
We dig into what you need to know before trying to attract investors, the dos and the dont's, how to have conversations without feeling awkward, and how to build trust in a way that feels grounded, ethical and aligned with who you are.
There is so much mystery and fear around talking about money in property, so we break it down, demystify the process and simplify what raising finance actually looks like in the real world. No jargon, no bravado, just honest, practical guidance and lived experience.
If you are ready to take your property journey seriously, if you want to understand how people fund deals without waiting years to build capital, and if you are curious about how to start building investor relationships that feel genuine and sustainable, this episode will give you so much clarity and confidence.
My hope is that you walk away feeling like this is possible for you too.

In this episode of the Girls in Property podcast, I chat with Libby Walker, someone I have genuinely watched and admired. Libby got into property at such a young age, and what I love most about her is how open she has always been about the things that go right and the things that do not. From the very start of her journey she has shared everything she is learning, and I think that honesty is so important in this industry.
It has been amazing to watch her grow, gain confidence and really understand what she wants from both her cash flow businesses and her property journey. We talk about how it does not have to only be property โ you can be an entrepreneur, try different things and still bring it all together in a way that works for you.
In this conversation, we explore her early experiences, the lessons she learned from her first flip, the difference between making cash flow and building long term wealth, and the power of just taking action. Libby reminds us why celebrating the small wins, knowing your why and being honest about the process matters more than getting it perfect.

Following on from Carolineโs amazing episode last week on turning purpose into profit, this week we are carrying that same message forward but through a completely different story and lived experience.
In this episode, I chat with award winning developer, number one best selling author and founder of View From My Window, Lorraine Thomas. She shares her authentic, unfiltered journey โ the real highs and lows of being a property developer and a housing provider with a social purpose. From tenant care to financial pressure, from mistakes to milestones, Lorraine is open about what it actually looks like to put people before profit in an industry that does not always make that easy.
Through View From My Window, she has created more than just housing โ she has built homes grounded in dignity, compassion and accountability. We talk about the responsibility that comes with social housing, the emotional weight of caring for others and why purpose matters most when things get tough.
This episode is a raw and honest continuation of the purpose over profit conversation โ same values, different story, and a powerful reminder that property can change lives when people are put first.

In this episode of Girls in Property, host Athena Dobson chats with the inspiring Caroline Pattinson โ an award-winning entrepreneur and property investor whoโs built her journey with courage, discipline, and heart.
Caroline started her career at just 16 and bought her first property at 21, showing that you donโt need to have it all figured out to begin. Her story is proof that you can start at any age, from any place, and still build something incredible.
Since those early days, Caroline has gone on to create The Nunnery โ a former convent she transformed into a beautiful shared living space that brings people and community together.
In this honest conversation, she shares what sheโs learned about staying grounded, adapting to change, and keeping purpose at the centre of her work. Itโs an inspiring reminder that property success isnโt just about profit โ itโs about passion, people, and believing in yourself enough to take the first step.

In this episode of the Girls in Property podcast, Athena Dobson chats with Lisa Marie Elkhadraoui, also known as Design Boss Diary. Lisa shares her journey in interior design and property staging, opening up about the lessons she has learnt along the way. We talk about the importance of women supporting one another, the challenges new designers face, and how personal growth can shape success. Lisa also explains the difference between interior design and staging, and the practical steps that help turn a business idea into something sustainable.
What shines through in our conversation is the importance of community, celebrating wins, and surrounding yourself with people who share the same values. From the moment we met, Lisa and I just clicked, both professionally and personally. Our values as people and brands aligned, and so it felt completely natural to welcome her in as one of the newest partners of Girls in Property. It is my pleasure to introduce Lisa to Girls in Property with her debut podcast episode.

As business owners and property investors, we are often juggling endless to-do lists, deadlines and the pressures of building or running a business. But when you are running on empty, so is your business. Your health has to come first. In this episode, Athena Dobson sits down with Steph Taylor to uncover why your health is not just a personal matter, it is the foundation of your success as a business owner.
Together they dive into the hidden truths about nutrition, what we often do not know about our eating habits, and why paying attention to what is really going on in our bodies matters so much. Steph opens up about her own health challenges and the surprising discoveries she made about fats, proteins and sugars, and how these can either support or sabotage our wellbeing.
This conversation is about more than simply eating well. It is about shifting outdated beliefs, enjoying food without guilt, and understanding the biological facts that help us perform at our best. Whether you are already running a business or dreaming of starting one, this episode is your reminder that prioritising your health is one of the smartest business moves you can make.

Welcome back to Girls in Property! This week your host, Athena Dobson, is treating you to a solo episode all about mid-year accountability and getting you set to stride into Q4 with clarity and confidence.
As we step into September, itโs the perfect time to reflect on the year so far. Back in January, you probably had a vision for 2025โmaybe it was the year youโd finally start building up your property income, leave the nine-to-five, enjoy more freedom, or make a proper start on your property journey. But now the question is: are you really on track?
In this episode, Athena invites you to pause and take stock of where you are right now, celebrate whatโs gone well, and get honest about what needs to shift so you can finish the year in style. Sheโll share practical ways to reset your focus, tackle those limiting beliefs that might be holding you back, and create strong pillars to guide you through the months ahead.
Think of this episode as a little reset buttonโyour chance to realign, refresh your energy, and decide how you want the rest of 2025 to look. Athena also reminds us that community support and self-care arenโt just nice extras; theyโre essential ingredients for building a property business that actually works for you.
So pop in your headphones, take a deep breath, and letโs get ready to finish this year with purpose and alignment!
Enjoy x

This week, Athena sits down with the brilliant Rachel Knight to dive into one of the most exciting, and often overlooked, strategies in property: title splitting.
Rachel doesnโt just share her story of getting into property; she opens up about how she discovered title splitting as almost an unspoken hidden gem in the industry. Itโs one of those strategies that doesnโt always get talked about but, when done right, can unlock some of the most lucrative deals and create incredible opportunities for financial freedom.
Together, Athena and Rachel explore what title splitting really means in practice, why getting started early can make all the difference, and how the right โpower teamโ of professionals is essential to make the process smooth and successful.
The conversation also highlights the bigger picture: The importance of surrounding yourself with supportive people, investing in education, and having the right mindset to navigate the ups and downs of property.
And of course, with Rachelโs fun and bubbly personality shining through, this isnโt just an educational episode โ itโs a genuinely enjoyable listen. Youโre in for plenty of insights, lots of laughs, and a good time from start to finish.

In this powerful episode, Athena Dobson sits down with Tamsin Broster to explore the deeply personal and universal topic of body confidenceโa crucial issue that affects many women. Tamsin shares her journey, highlighting the struggles with body image that began at a young age and how they evolved over time. Through her candid reflections, she sheds light on how societal pressures often dictate the way women perceive their bodies and how those perceptions can impact both their personal and professional lives.
The conversation also dives into the profound changes brought on by motherhood and how they can reshape a womanโs relationship with her body and self-esteem. Tamsin also opens up about the emotional and physical shifts of perimenopause and how they can challenge oneโs confidence, especially in a world where women are constantly encouraged to measure themselves against unrealistic media standards.
Athena and Tamsin round up the podcast by exploring the importance of authenticity, self-worth, and the need to separate our value from body size or appearance. They discuss how embracing self-acceptance is vital not only for personal growth but for professional success as well. Throughout the podcast, Tamsin emphasizes the power of community support in navigating body image challenges and reminds us that our bodies are not problems to be fixedโbut homes to be celebrated. This episode is one of encouragement, recognising achievements, milestones and redefining confidence on your own terms.

In this weekโs episode of The Girls and Property Podcast, weโre diving into something totally newโsurveying! And Iโve got just the woman to guide us through it.
Iโm joined by the brilliant Sophie Perkins, a seasoned surveyor whoโs making serious waves for women in construction. Sophie brings a straight-talking, fresh perspective on what itโs really like to work in an industry thatโs still very much male-dominatedโand trust me, some of the stories she shares will stop you in your tracks. Itโs clear the sectorโs due a serious shake-up.
We cover the different types of surveying (yes, thereโs more than one!) and why itโs so important for us as investors to understand the difference. We also get into the barriers women still face, and how to build real, lasting credibility in a space that wasnโt exactly designed with us in mind. Sophie opens up about her journey, the challenges she's tackled, and what keeps her fired up every single day.
One of my favourite parts? Hearing all about Sophieโs brand-new footwear collection, Sophieโs Choiceโproper PPE designed specifically for women in construction. Finally, work boots that fit properly, look the part and do the job. Built by a woman who genuinely understands what women on-site need.
Itโs a great conversation, full of insight, honesty, and inspiration.

Are you ready for this? Heโs backโฆ
In this episode of The Girls in Property podcast, Athena Dobson is joined once again by renowned speaker and NLP coach Akhtar Khan. Together, they explore a topic that resonates deeply with many entrepreneurs and professionals. The topic of Burnout.
They begin by unpacking what burnout actually is, beyond just a popular term, looking at its symptoms, its emotional and physical impact, and how the constant pressure of hustle culture often leads people into a state of complete exhaustion.
Akhtar offers thoughtful insights on the importance of recognising burnout early, the dangers of being driven by fear, and why building in time for rest and recovery is essential, not optional. The conversation then shifts towards a more empowering approach, moving from a fear-based mindset to one grounded in flow, energy management, and intentional living.
Together, Athena and Akhtar delve into the importance of inner work, emotional healing, and listening to the bodyโs signals โ particularly for women. They reflect on how working in alignment with our natural rhythms can lead to more sustainable ambition, allowing us to achieve without sacrificing our wellbeing.
This episode is a powerful reminder of the importance of self-awareness, support, and love, both in our personal and professional lives. It encourages listeners to reflect on their own journeys, embrace a more balanced way of working, and create space for trust, flow, and ease.
This conversation is for anyone whoโs ever faced burnout, is currently navigating it, feels they might be heading in that direction, or simply wants to better understand how to avoid it altogether. Wherever you are on your journey, I hope this episode offers some comfort, clarity, and practical insight. And if it reaches just one person who needs to hear it today, then our job here is done.

This week on the Girls and Property Podcast, Athena Dobson is joined by one of our original Girls in Property community members, Lucy Akrigg โ and trust me, this episode is one you wonโt want to miss!
Not only is this Lucyโs very first podcast appearance (and can we just say โ she absolutely smashes it!), but her story is one thatโs sure to leave you feeling inspired. Itโs one of those โif she can do it, so can Iโ moments โ and weโre here for it.
Lucy takes us back to how she got started in property during her maternity leave (yes, really!) and launched her very first rent-to-rent business, whilst continuing to travel the world with her family. Fast forward to now, and sheโs growing her portfolio with HMOs and serviced accommodation units at a pace thatโs honestly hard to keep up with โ all while balancing the realities of mum life and running a business like a total pro.
As always, our chat dives into the real, behind-the-scenes stuff: the highs, the hustle, and those classic โwhat on earth am I doing?โ moments. Lucy shares some brilliant tips on sourcing properties, picking the right tenants, and gives a refreshingly honest take on what itโs really like building a business with your partner by your side.
If youโve ever found yourself doubting your dreams, Lucyโs journey is your reminder that with a bit of resilience, a supportive home life, and a whole lot of heart, you can build a property business you love.

Weโre back after an unforgettable week at the Girls in Property 2025 Retreatโand what a week it was! Thereโs no better way to get back into the swing of things than with this lively and inspiring episode featuring the fabulous Emma Finn.
You might know her as Oakshill Property on socials, but today, Emmaโs sitting down with me to share the real story behind her incredible journey from the classroom to the world of property development. She opens up about what it truly took to leave behind a teaching career and build a successful business from the ground up, including the messy bits, the milestones, and everything in between.

We also dive into the power of community, particularly for women in the property world.

Happy Easter Bank Holiday Monday, everyone! ๐ฃโจ
With the Girls in Property Retreat just around the corner, I thought now would be the perfect time to sit down for a solo episode and catch up with you all. These episodes have become such a special space for meโto slow down, reflect, and connect with you on a more personal level.
In this one, Iโm sharing whatโs been happening behind the scenes in the lead-up to our big annual event, and opening up about the journey of Girls in Propertyโhow it all began, how far weโve come, and everything Iโve learned along the way.
Planning something like the retreat definitely isnโt always easy, but every challenge has been so worth it when I see this beautiful community growing and women lifting each other up in the property world.
I also talk about what it really takes to bring these events to lifeโthe power of having a strong, supportive team, and how much personal growth has happened alongside the professional. Plus, Iโm giving you a little sneak peek into whatโs next: more workshops, more retreats, and even more ways for us to grow, learn, and thrive together.
Thank you so much for being here, for tuning in each week, and for all the love and support you give this podcast. It truly means the world. Letโs keep building something amazingโtogether. ๐ช๐ฝ๐ซ

In this episode of the Girls in Property podcast, host Athena Dobson chats with the fabulous Julie Talbotโproperty investor, adventurer, and full-time slow traveler.
Julie takes us on a whirlwind ride from her roots in a housing benefit family to living her dream life, globe-trotting with her family while managing a property business remotely (yes, itโs possibleโand sheโs doing it!).
From expat life in the Middle East to figuring out how to juggle work, homeschooling, and a suitcase lifestyle, Julie gets real about the highs, the hiccups, and everything in between. She opens up about managing her portfolio from afar, lessons learned from the mistakes that had to happen, and the power of just diving in and figuring it out.
We talk about what travel teaches kids, the magic of finding community on the road, and how freedom and fulfilment can look different for everyoneโbut it always starts with taking that first leap.
Get ready for a raw, honest, and totally unfiltered convo thatโll leave you feeling fired up, inspiredโand maybe even checking flight prices or planning your own big adventure.

Sheโs back! Now, you might be wondering why weโve got two social media episodes in a row, but trust meโboth bring something unique to the table. Last week, Milly Bellotti shared why posting on social media matters and how to lower the barrier to entry. This week, Iโm thrilled to welcome back Sara Smile Scott to take us behind the screen and into the matrix of Instagram, breaking down key strategies for success.
We dive into the importance of understanding the Instagram algorithm, why consistency in posting is crucial, and how to effectively leverage insights. The conversation also tackles the common overwhelm that comes with social media and, once again, reinforces the power of authenticity in personal branding. Plus, I wanted to get Saraโs take on how introverts can confidently navigate social platformsโtaking small steps toward visibility, celebrating wins, and building meaningful connections.
Tune in for an engaging and empowering discussion that will help you work smarter, not harder, when it comes to social media!

You asked for it and here it is! Letโs talk about imposter syndrome.
In this episode of the Girls in Property podcast, Athena Dobson and Akhtar Khan dive into the world of imposter syndrome, and how it shows up in both our personal and professional lives. They chat about the power of mindset, strategy, and emotional intelligence in beating those internal roadblocks and achieving success. Akhtar opens up about his journey from a tough childhood to becoming a successful property investor and business psychologist, sharing why self-discovery and having the right support system are key to navigating the ups and downs of life and business.
The conversation shifts to authenticity, with Akhtar and Athena discussing how tricky it can be to maintain a polished facade while juggling the messy realities of life and business and how much to share of the imperfections both offline and online. They talk about those mental barriers that hold us back from seizing opportunities and why being part of a supportive community can make all the difference and how embracing vulnerability and forming genuine connections are powerful ways to crush imposter syndrome.
The conversation then turns to childhood experiences and how these shape our adult self-esteem and emotional health. They touch on the importance of validation, the healing journey, and how embracing authenticity can help break the cycle of limiting beliefs that get passed down through generations. With personal stories, real talk and a few tears, I hope this will encourage you all to embrace your worth and either build or join strong, supportive communities to lift you up!

In this compelling episode, Athena is joined by the remarkable Heather Smail, also known as Blonde Property, who unfolds a poignant narrative of Adversity to Triumph. Heather's journey begins with a series of heart-wrenching events, including the loss of her father at 17, her mother at 23, and her husband at 29. These tragic events led to the challenges that ignited her unwavering determination to construct a multi-million pound property portfolio for the financial security of herself and her daughter.
Heather courageously lays bare the challenges she faced, from the repossession of her family home and a return to a council estate in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, to her current status as the personal owner of nearly 40 properties. The strategic use of the BRRR (Buy, Refurbish, Rent, Refinance) approach emerges as a key element in her success, providing a substantial net income that enables her to contemplate retirement with contentment.
In the podcast discussion, Athena and Heather delve deep into the intricacies of the BRRR strategy, shedding light on its workings and emphasizing the potential for remarkable results and returns when executed with precision. Heather reflects on the compound effect, stressing the significance of daily consistency and unwavering commitment to her goals as the driving forces behind the gradual but sure expansion of her portfolio.
Heather's story serves as a compelling testament to the transformative power of resilience, illustrating that in the face of adversity, anyone can overcome challenges and attain extraordinary achievements with persistence, determination, and a positive mindset. It is also a powerful reminder that anything is possible.

When Tej Talks graduated and wasn't satisfied with working for other people he began his own recruitment business. The model was scalable but still tied him to hours-related work which left him with less time the more it earned. Research led him to the world of property where he now has a portfolio that pays him to work when he wants - all thanks to learning from mistakes and becoming investible by building a great brand.

Laura-Jane Hand specialises in helping unhappy women with business and relationship coaching to huge effect. She has been in property for fifteen years beginning with buy to lets, working through flips and conversions eventually branching out into matching developers with the perfect investors for projects and being less hands-on.
Feeling the calling to be a coach when she kept coming across other lonely business women who want more and work together better she now offers coaching through her Believe programme.
Realising that the best coaches are not graded by qualifications as much as by having a rich personal experience Laura-Jane has done has done all the hard work to bring out the best in other women.
This year Laura-Jane launches The Perfect Poo which provides exceptional insight into the link between mind and body and brings real-world success by looking after our most fundamental functions first. But it is probably better to hear about that from Laura-Jane herself in this fantastic episode!

Charlie Tarr has been investing in property for 15 years having started out teaming up with the boss of a gambling business to put the profits to work in property with carte blanche. He worked to his strengths, pursued what piqued his interest. After building a sizeable HMO portfolio and realising what EVERYONE needs is a capable property development platform he launched Stacked in 2021. There are now more than 2,000 users on the platform handling ยฃ300,00,000 of assets at all stages of property development. By applying the principle that all deals should have the best access to data, processing and investment opportunities Stacked allows anyone to take a plot or a hulk through to market. Anyone can have a go at stacking a deal using Excel, but by standardising a project it makes it a more confident process for developers and investors alike.

In 2020 Malkit started the Savoys brand now renowned for epic networking events, high-grade HMOs and big-scale development along with partner Sanjay Kumar. Three years on and their company is now the byword in quality, reliability and a safe pair of hands across HMO, buy to let, developments & investments.
We find out why you need to be more careful than ever about what information to trust when starting out, why you need to know your sector inside and out and why you shouldn't trust the training provider selling pipe dreams!
With a strong core value of being humble and doing right by the client in every action, Malkit shares how your business can be an empire within the next decade by being the difference you want to see in property. He also goes through what the next few years holds in store for him and why, after reaching the top of the property game, he and his partners still strive to help those at the very start of their journey.

- Buy to lets
- Rent to rent
- Property flips
- Joint ventures
- Types on investment

Helen Turner was with COHO on day one with zero paying clients and in a short time realised how the tech start-up was solving so many pain-points for tenants and HMO operators with their platform. Today COHO is looking to double it's 7,000 managed tenancies across the UK by listening to it's cliets from both sides, add more features and life & time-saving processes to become THE platform for tenants to find each other and their next home.
From an HMO management point of view there is nothing more important than having efficient, compliant systems that are reliable and save time - COHO does all of this and keeps adding smart, data-driven functionality all the time.
Helen tells us how the tech start-up has at it's core an amazing culture of driven people, based remotely and worldwide with no set working hours who have pushed COHO to the success it enjoys and the ambitious goals it sets for the near future.

Proving that in every challenge there is opportunity - Lisa was an emergency department nurse practitioner who was getting into property when a chance encounter connected her with a supported living provider. The resulting chemistry of a love for both property and providing those most in need of suitable accommodation has led her to build the supported living academy alongside her own portfolio and in this episode she tells Sophie how to help out and get ahead with supported living.

Polly Ogden Duffy has worked her way up from suddenly managing a single estate agent office after the departure of another manager - she learned on the fly, worked extremely hard and is now the MD of John D Wood & Co.. She sits down with Sophie & Athena to describe how building culture, binning the nonsense of hustle culture & giving everyone what they need to excel in your business are the keys to success.
We have to get ahead of the growth of our new businesses and be ready to build & take effective control of a team (as we found out in our episode with Henri Ghijben). It is easy to get trapped working hands-on too much in your business and not be ready to create an empowered & effective team so Polly shares all her tips on all this and lots more!

There are few people who can honestly say they have changed the world - and Bonnie Fatio has been doing it for decades! After travelling the world as part of a micro credit fund she realised that it was the women in all communites that she came across who were both doing all the moving of societies and having the hardest time in terms of equality and quality of life. She saw a need to unite and inspire female leaders in all countries and cultures, promote how women act and feel in male-dominated cultures for the benefit of everyone.
Bonnie formed Inspired Women Lead in 2016 as a peer-to-peer mentoring programme that now boasts participants in 85 countries and is still growing.
She is an icon of what can be done with only a can-do attitude, a readiness to say yes and share - all of which are qualities we see in the property world. Sharing deals & tips, self-motivating and inspiring others is what we all strive to achieve and can use to succeed, so this week we are honoured to speak with Bonnie and learn from her wisdom .

Not talking about money helps to preserve the gender pay gap and stops us from understanding the reasons why it exists and how to close it. Sarah is the person who opens up the wealth growth conversation, un-weirds money and helps us all understand it better through her property training company Cogito Wealth which helps established entrepreneurs and new starters in property to think differently about creating wealth. She started out in property, realised that being a landlord is not for her and now helps others get started and grow to massive success.
Sometimes we dream of hitting the big time and it is tempting to earn and spend money in the ways we always have without thinking about it. However Money Mechanics is Sarah's upcoming book that talks about strategies for wealth creation, improving our relationship with it and spending it correctly - just what we all need to get sorted from the outset! The book is out in September - click here to join the preorder waitlist.

With such a great response from all our listeners about our Rent to Rent episode Sophie & Simon delve into the GiP mailbag and answer all of your questions (with a little help from our friend Henri Ghijben from last week's pod).
1) Market research:
- How do I know if a property is in a 'good' location?
- Researching your target tenant & what they are looking for
- How do I know how much rent to charge?
- Gauging demand
- Should I take on a property that is two hours away?
- How can I ensure I don't lose money?
2) Putting the plan into action:
- Negotiating a rent-free period
- Get viewings in early - get cash-flowing before tenants even move in

- What do you do if a guest won't leave your SA? Phone a Friend with Henri Ghijben
- How to resolve cost disputes with Landlords - have a good proposal & contract to manage expectations and fall back on when there is an issue
- Maintenance - budgets, inspections, reporting & shouting about your good service to Landlords.
4) Building relationships & growing your business

This week we are joined by Henri Ghijben who has experienced every entrepreneur's worst nightmare - a business failing.
We hear the lowest point of Henri's experience and then the incredible story of how he came back with resilience and new knowledge to become a highly successful mentor in the property and tree surgery industries with multiple businesses and eventually his own podcast Fail Forward on how to learn from failure.
We hear about how Henri has battled addiction and how his new perspective empowers him to use his success to help others who are still struggling.

It's all got too much - the Girls let loose their all-time property horror stories and latest issues! Business is never plain-sailing so this week we are sharing our pains and - most importantly - what we learned and how they will never happen again. Mushroom farming, secret electrical cupboards and being strong-armed into paying for drainage issues on a property they don't own yet PLUS an insight into how not having all your eggs in one basket might be the insurance you need against having the rug pulled out from under your rent to rent portfolio.
The Girls get into it this week, plus Simon sticks his oar in on living (and sometimes sleeping in) the dream.

From taking the plunge and buying her first flip property at auction after doing all the free education she could absorb, Ruth Hunter now runs Veredus Property investment. It hasn't been a smooth path though - through having to refund all her wedding events at the dawn of the Covid pandemic and then selling the family home to move back to rented accommodation to free up the cash to start again, Ruth has used grit and all the training to her advantage and now boasts a high-end HMO portfolio and contracts with a housing charity which tick all her boxes for being financially independent, helping others and using her expertise to create wealth with her investment partners.
Sharing tips on how to stack deals with the exit in mind, leveraging good training and a daily mindset and health routine, Ruth is an inspiration for anyone starting out in property!

Sophie, Julia & Athena get together this week and share how a business actually starts. Capital, finance tracking, motivation and how to be realistic all come into play to get off the ground but actually using these tools effectively and consistently is how to succeed!
Warning - there is some agreeable disagreement in this episode! Do you think someone can save up enough of their own money whilst working full time to start a business or should you go and borrow your seed capital to get going?

This week we are super excited to host a swapcast with the Property Pals podcast hosts Josh Jenkins and Chris Jaap! They talk us through how they built Nordic Property which handles property & deal sourcing, development and lettings (SA & R2R). Realising that the only way to expand is to systemise, Josh & Chris share what tasks are best to out-source and how you still need to be ready to be hands-on when needed.

In the final of our three 'Meet the Girls' episodes (one for each of Sophie, Athena and Julia) the Girls sit down and get the low-down on how Julia battles age-prejudice, got started in property by getting experience for free and how it feels to break into the big-time in London. This is a warts-and-all story and really shows how, if you can create the right mindset and dig your heels in, you can realise your business ambitions!
