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.

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.

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!
