Ever looked at property prices and thought "there is absolutely no way"?
You're not alone. For a lot of women, especially those doing it solo, the property market can feel like a club you were never given the membership code for. But here's the thing: it doesn't have to be.

Why you should never share your pre-approval with a selling agent (and what to say instead)

🎧 Perfect for: women thinking about buying their first home or investment property, anyone curious about how buyer's agents work, and anyone who's been waiting until they feel "ready" to get into the market.

Why do so many smart, capable women second-guess themselves?
In this episode of Get Rich, Molly sits down with Caroline Brewin, former investment banker turned confidence coach and neuroscience expert, to unpack the science behind self-doubt and how to build real, lasting confidence.
After 18 years in investment banking, Caroline saw firsthand how talented women held themselves back, not because they weren’t capable, but because they didn’t back themselves. Now, through coaching and applied neuroscience, she helps women rewire their brains for confidence instead of fear.
In this episode, we cover:
Why your brain is wired for safety, not success
• Why women often have a louder inner critic
• Whether confidence is something you’re born with or can build
• Simple daily rituals to boost confidence fast
• How to stop overthinking and start taking action
• The link between money confidence and self-belief
If you’ve ever hesitated before speaking up in a meeting, asking for a pay rise, investing your money or making a big life decision, this episode is for you.
Confidence isn’t something you’re born with. It’s a muscle you build.
