    How to Make £1,000 in the Next 30 Days with Sarah Poynton

    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 owning what they want. Sarah shares her own journey from debt to designing a life on her own terms, and we break down practical, doable ways to bring that £1,000 in fast. Selling what you already own. Flipping finds from a car boot. Using AI and faceless content to create income online. This is the kind of stuff anyone can do. Because the only thing standing between you and that extra grand is usually the decision to start. No excuses. We also go deeper into the things that really matter. Putting your own oxygen mask on first. Having your own money as your safety net and your freedom. Changing your mind at any age and refusing to apologise for it. This one is about taking your power back, financially and emotionally. If you've been waiting for a sign to back yourself, this is it. Have a listen, then go and make your first move. We have our community call tomorrow night at 7:30pm with Sarah on this exact topic, and I'm opening it up to non members too.  Here is the link to join  👉   https://girlsinproperty.kit.com/5e3cbf8ce6 How to Get Involved With The Girls in Property  👇  👩 Join our GIP Community 🎟️  Be the First To Hear About Upcoming Events  🖥️ Want to Learn How to Raise Private Finance?

    Think You're Too Skint for Property, Think Again with Carla Eve

    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 borrowed from family, leaned on the skills she already had and learned the rest through sheer necessity. She shares the creative strategies that changed everything for her, from title splits and bridging finance to turning properties into luxury mid term rentals for film and TV professionals. And we get into Project Gail, her most recent development, including the planning refusals, the community pushback and how she kept pivoting until it finally came together. But this episode is about more than numbers. Carla weaves energy work and personal growth through everything she does, and her message is simple. Your strategy should follow your strengths, not the other way round. Because when you align your resources, your skills and your passions with real intention, success has a way of catching up with you. If you're standing at the start of your own journey wondering whether someone like you could ever build something like this, this one is for you. Press play and let Carla show you what's possible.

    Raising Finance: How Susannah Cole Secured £8.3 Million & Paid it Back

    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'm joined by Susannah Cole, founder of The Good Property Company, who has raised over £8.3 million in private finance and paid every penny back. Her story proves fundraising isn't about being the loudest person in the room. It's about relationships. Because that's the real secret. Raising finance isn't a transaction. It's trust, built slowly through honest conversations and consistently good work. We cover the mindset holding so many women back, then get practical. The three main ways to raise finance. How to attract your very first investor from scratch. How she raised that £8.3 million in three and a half years and managed every relationship without losing credibility. But this isn't just about money. It's about purpose, health, and celebrating every win along the way. If you've ever wanted to raise finance but had no idea where to start, this one is for you. Take the tips, trust yourself, and play to win.

    LinkedIn: The App Full of Investors You're Too Scared to Use with Beth Kirk

    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. We talk about why LinkedIn feels so different to Instagram and Facebook. It is not about the highlight reel. It is about visibility, expertise and real connection. And in our world it is one of the best places to find investors. Beth shares how to set your profile up so it actually works for you, from your headline to that all important About section written in your own voice and not AI fluff. We get into the fear of being visible. The overthinking. The perfectionism. That voice that says who am I to post this. Beth unpacks where it comes from and how to shift it. She also breaks down how to create consistent value led content, repurpose what you already make on Instagram, and manage your DMs to build genuine relationships rather than drowning in spam. This one is for the woman who knows LinkedIn could change her business but keeps putting it off. Press play, set up that profile, and post the thing. Your next investor might already be waiting.

    The Expat's Guide to UK Property Investing with Sophie Dand

    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 remotely but turning it into a full business helping other expats do the same. Sophie breaks down how she spotted the gap in the market, the team she built around her (brokers, solicitors, builders) and why the UK is still one of the safest plays for anyone living overseas. She talks honestly about the fear, the analysis paralysis, and the moment she stopped waiting for permission and just started. Because if you've been telling yourself you can't invest in UK property because you're not in the UK, this one is going to change your mind.

    Why Being Busy is Killing Your Growth with Guillaume Black

    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 Guillaume Black, the founder of Property Filter, who has built one of the most powerful sourcing tools in the UK property space. But his story didn't start in property at all. Guillaume began his career engineering bridges in France before pivoting into the world of real estate and tech. And what he's learned along the way about clarity, resilience and continuous growth is something every single one of us needs to hear. We get into the real meaning of clarity and why so many of us are stuck in analysis paralysis without even realising it. Because the truth is, you can't hit a target you haven't defined. Guillaume breaks down how knowing your end goal changes absolutely everything, from the deals you chase to the people you surround yourself with. We also talk about rejection. The kind that knocks the wind out of you when you're just starting out and every estate agent seems to be ignoring your calls. Not just the practical side of dealing with it, but the mindset shift that turns rejection from a roadblock into rocket fuel. And we dive into how AI and technology are completely transforming the way property investors operate, what's actually worth your time and what's just noise. This isn't just an episode about property. It's about becoming the kind of person who builds something meaningful, in business and in life. If you're standing at the edge of a big decision, second guessing whether you've got what it takes, this one's for you. Press play and let's go.

    Cash Flow, Profit & Power: Business Finance with Taylor Smith

    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!  How to Get Involved With The Girls in Property  👇  👩 Join our GIP Community 🎟️  Be the First To Hear About Upcoming Events  🖥️ Want to Learn How to Raise Private Finance?

    From Me to You: A Message Before the 2026 Retreat with Athena Dobson

    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 How to Get Involved With The Girls in Property  👇  👩 Join our GIP Community 🎟️  Be the First To Hear About Upcoming Events  🖥️ Want to Learn How to Raise Private Finance?
