    Jan 20 2026
    “What if retirement is backwards?”What if the way we have been taught to retire is backwards?In this episode, we unpack the idea of reverse retirement, why more people are opting out of the traditional wealth race, and how to build a life that feels lighter now, not just “someday”.We talk honestly about burnout, delayed gratification, FIRE, property as a tool (not an identity), and why designing time, energy, and location freedom earlier matters more than ever in 2026.This is not about quitting work or rejecting ambition. It is about building wealth in a way that supports your life today as well as your future.What we cover• Why the traditional retirement model feels broken • The rise of reverse retirement and sabbaticals • Delayed gratification vs living well now • Burnout, energy management, and modern work • FIRE explained (without the extremes) • Redefining what “wealth” actually means • Property as a tool, not a personality • Fewer assets, more peace • Diversifying income in a volatile world • Designing your days intentionallyChapters00:00 Intro and why retirement feels backwards 02:00 Why people are questioning the old model 05:00 Delayed gratification vs fear-based living 09:40 Reverse retirement and FIRE explained 11:30 Designing freedom without quitting ambition 14:00 Redefining wealth, time and nervous system safety 18:00 Property, peace of mind, and fewer assets 20:40 Letting go of the finish line mentality 22:30 Designing life now, not deferring itKey takeaways• You do not need to wait until 65 to experience freedom • Wealth is not just money, it is time, energy, and flexibility • Burnout often arrives before success if you ignore balance • FIRE does not mean doing nothing or living miserably • Property works best when it supports your lifestyle, not your ego • Designing your days is designing your lifeIf this episode resonated, we would love to hear what reverse retirement looks like for you.

  • Is Diversification Boring… or the Smartest Move Freelancers Can Make?

    Is Diversification Boring… or the Smartest Move Freelancers Can Make?
    Jan 6 2026
    “Boring is actually very sexy.”In a world of viral investing advice, crypto memes, and “get rich quick” promises, diversification can feel… boring.But what if boring is actually the point?In this Freelancer Edition of the Honest Property Podcast, we unpack why simple, boring, diversified strategies are often the ones that quietly build real wealth — especially if you’re self-employed, creative, or easily distracted by shiny new ideas (we see you 👀).We share honest lessons from over 12 years of building a multi-million-pound portfolio, the mistakes we’ve made chasing excitement, and why we now care far more about downward-resistant foundations than flashy returns.If you want wealth that supports freedom, flexibility, and a life you actually enjoy — this one’s for you. Key takeawayDiversification isn’t glamorous.It won’t go viral.But it’s what keeps you steady when markets wobble, protects your future self, and gives you the freedom to focus on the work and life you actually care about.Boring strategies. Simple foundations. Real freedom.Chapters00:00 – Welcome & today’s question 02:30 – Why boring businesses build real wealth 05:20 – Our “vanilla” strategy that actually worked 07:00 – What diversification really means 09:30 – UK property risk & regulation reality 12:00 – Property vs stocks: speed vs patience 15:00 – Why freelancers need boring wealth 18:00 – Adapting to changing housing & work trends 22:30 – When focus becomes reckless 25:30 – Discipline, boredom & long-term thinking 29:30 – Boring is sexy (final thoughts)🌏 Explore our worldhttps://honestpropertysisters.com/👩🏻‍💻 Sponsored by The Freedom GeekWe’ve saved hours each week thanks to the incredible Filipino VA's and Editors from The Freedom Geek.

  • The Fetish of 7 Figures: Why Chasing £1M Might Be Costing You Freedom

    The Fetish of 7 Figures: Why Chasing £1M Might Be Costing You Freedom
    Dec 16 2025
    “Everyone’s chasing 7 figures — but what if that goal is quietly ruining your peace? Everyone’s chasing the 7-figure dream — but is it freedom, or just a fancier trap? In this week’s episode, Becky and Ruth get honest about the obsession with hitting £1M and what it really costs freelancers, founders, and property investors chasing the next milestone.They share their own early-career “7-figure fixation,” what they learned from scaling too fast, and why boring wealth might actually be the kind that lasts.Key TakeawaysBigger isn’t always better — growth without intention leads to burnout.Revenue ≠ profit. Don’t confuse shiny numbers with real wealth.Over 50% of UK business owners report poor mental health from financial stress (Simply Business, 2025).Diversification and slower, more aligned growth create sustainable freedom.Your “enough number” is probably smaller — and closer — than you think.Chapters00:00 — Welcome to the Honest Property Podcast 00:20 — Why the 7-figure goal feels so seductive 02:30 — How social media fuels the obsession 05:00 — The trap of scaling too fast 07:00 — Burnout, cashflow danger & freelancer pressure in 2025 10:40 — Turnover myths: when big numbers mean nothing 14:00 — Redefining success and the ‘freedom number’ 17:30 — Real examples from our own property & business journey 20:00 — Why aligned wealth beats hustle culture every time 23:00 — Final thoughts: success without sacrifice🌏 Explore our worldhttps://honestpropertysisters.com/👩🏻‍💻 Sponsored by The Freedom GeekWe’ve saved hours each week thanks to the incredible Filipino VA's and Editors from The Freedom Geek.
