Girls In Property

A business can be making money and still no longer be right for you. And sometimes admitting that is harder than starting it in the first place. In this episode of Girls in Property I’m joined by Sophie Foote, a good friend, former business partner and the woman I started this podcast with. So this is a proper catch up, and a very honest conversation about changing direction when the time feels ri...

Everyone is getting out of property because of the legislation and the red tape, and Lexie Carducci has bought six properties this year. Why? Well, that's exactly what we're going to share with you. In this episode of Girls in Property I'm joined by Lexie Carducci, who has been in the property industry for about fifteen years and works across property finding, relocation, developmen...

What if you could grow your portfolio without buying every property outright? Girls in Property is back, and I'm joined by Anna Morgan for a practical, honest conversation about purchase lease options. Anna moved from accountancy into property, started with flips, and found that rent to rent didn't suit her. Purchase lease options became the strategy that supported her portfolio growth a...

Scaling a business is nothing like starting one. The money comes in, and so does a whole new set of problems nobody warned you about. These are the five lessons I paid for so you don’t have to. In this final episode of my five part mini series, I’m sharing what I wish I knew about scaling a business after four plus years of building Girls in Property. I start with business structure, and what chan...

Ok, episode 4 of my 5 part mini series and this week we're talking about lead generation and attracting investors.  You're showing up. You're posting. And you still feel invisible to the clients and investors you want. Frustrated. Maybe a little tempted to chase. Because vanity metrics are not revenue. Trust is. The mindset shift is simple. Attract, don't chase.  I walk you thr...

Ok, episode 3 of my 5 part mini series and this week we're talking about how to kickstart your Q4 and align your business with the life you want. Q4 is here and you might be feeling stuck. Overwhelmed. Like the year has run away from you and your goals are sitting just out of reach. Because your business is not the goal. Your life is. We talk about what freedom means to you and why getting cl...

You've downloaded seventeen apps, paid for three of them, and still can't find a receipt from March. But what if I told you that if I was going to start again, I would start with these five.  This is part two of my five part mini series, recorded before I head off travelling through Canada, South America and Thailand. This week I'm getting practical. If I lost my phone tomorrow and...

Some of you have been spending months on the logo, the website and the business cards, and still haven't spoken to a single agent. I know. Because I've been there too. This week I'm kicking off a five part mini series while I'm travelling through Canada, South America and Thailand. Each week I'm answering the questions you keep asking me. And I'm starting with the mis...

Ever held yourself back not because the work was too hard but because you didn't believe you were the one who could do it? That quiet voice that says you're not enough for this. It's cost more women more opportunities than any bad deal ever has. In this episode of Girls in Property I'm joined by Heather Roberts, the woman behind Built in Pink. Heather is young, unapologetically...

Most of us accept the way property works because that's just how it's always been done. Tired stock. Rooms rented as a last resort. Systems held together with spreadsheets and good intentions. We stop noticing it after a while. In this episode of Girls in Property I'm joined by Vann Vogstad, founder of Coho, for a proper conversation about shared living, innovation, and what AI is r...

You've probably heard everyone banging on about AI. You've maybe even opened ChatGPT, typed something in, got back a load of waffle and quietly closed the tab thinking it's not for you. In this episode of Girls in Property I'm joined by Gemma Hurlstone for her debut episode, and she's here to tell you the tool isn't the problem. AI is only ever as good as the person u...

Solicitors get blamed for everything. The delays, the silence, the deal that collapses two days before exchange. The truth is usually far less dramatic and far more fixable. In this episode of Girls in Property I'm joined by Kirsty Baxter, a conveyancing solicitor with fifteen years of experience and a mum of four who is very open about the fact that none of it looks perfect from the inside....

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 whol...

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...

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 w...

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 wom...

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...

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....

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,...

What if you could make an extra £1,000 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 ownin...

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 borr...

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&apo...

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...

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...

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 Guillau...
