    How to Attract Investors in Property: Mindset, Money Chats and Practical Steps with Motiul Islam

    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.  How to Get Involved With The Girls in Property 👇 👩 Join our Community 💪 Book your Somatic Workshop Space - Friday 21st November 💗 Subscribe to find our latest offers & events near you 💃 Book your Ticket To our Winter Party A Big Thank You to Our Sponsored Partners Lisa Marie Elkhadraoui from @design_boss_diary Ella Hardy from @landprofits (Click here to book a 45 min FREE discovery call) Rachel Knight from Title Split Limited - Access 25-35% Capital Uplift Get In Touch 📷Girls in Property Instagram 📧 girlsinpropertypod@gmail.com Podcast Production & Editing Steve Lock Music Production

    What If You Just Started? Libby Walker on Failure, Cash Flow and Courage

    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 — 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.

    From Law to Social Housing: Purpose, Pressure & Putting People First with Lorraine Thomas

    Following on from Caroline’s 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 – 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 – 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 – same values, different story, and a powerful reminder that property can change lives when people are put first.

    Purpose Into Profit: Finding Meaning in Property with Caroline Pattinson

    In this episode of Girls in Property, host Athena Dobson chats with the inspiring Caroline Pattinson — an award-winning entrepreneur and property investor who’s 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 don’t 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 — a former convent she transformed into a beautiful shared living space that brings people and community together. In this honest conversation, she shares what she’s learned about staying grounded, adapting to change, and keeping purpose at the centre of her work. It’s an inspiring reminder that property success isn’t just about profit — it’s about passion, people, and believing in yourself enough to take the first step.

    From Interiors to Staging: Lessons from the Design Boss Diary

    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.
