Girls In Property

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 you’ve ever felt like building wealth sounds complicated, overwhelming, or just not something that’s really “for you”… this episode is going to shift that.
In this episode of Girls in Property I’m joined by Kevin Whelan, founder of Wealth Builders, and we’re 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, I’m 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 that’s 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 you’ve 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 week’s 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 £15,000 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.
