Girls In Property

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 — 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 — 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 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.
