In this episode of the Girls in Property podcast, I am joined by Celia Seale for a really honest conversation about buying blocks of flats. It is something a lot of people in property talk about, but not many speak openly about the full picture. So in this chat we get into the good, the bad and the ugly of it all. Celia shares her journey in property and how she has approached diversification through buying blocks of flats. We talk about the realities behind these kinds of deals, the things t...
This week on the Girls in Property podcast, I’m joined by the incredible Samantha Hearn. Now, we could have spoken about nearly anything. We had so many conversation topics to choose from. Sam is a seven figure, multi million pound business owner. We could have talked strategy. Scaling. Sales. The big business moves. But we didn’t. Because when I think about the conversations I have with you all most frequently, it is not just about property or business growth. It is about motherh...
In this episode of the Girls in Property Podcast, I sit down with Danielle Hobson and we have a proper healthy debate around business. I share my view that business can feel hard at times, especially when you are in the thick of running it day to day. Danielle brings a different perspective, that business itself is not actually the hard bit, but that we as humans can sometimes make it feel that way. We talk openly about the realities of entrepreneurship, the pressure, the growth, the lessons,...
What if you stopped waiting until you felt ready and just started? This week, I am joined by Carly Anderson, also known as Flipping Belfast, and her story is such a powerful reminder that you do not need to have it all figured out before you begin. Carly shares how she moved from working as a civil servant into property flipping, learning as she went and using skills she already had. We talk honestly about the challenges she faced, how she pushed through them, and how she has gone on to compl...
In this episode of Girls in Property, I’m joined by Louise Reynolds to talk about something we do not hear enough about in property… staying safe. We talk a lot about moving fast and finding exciting deals, but what about the part that protects you? The due diligence, the checks and the decisions that stop you making costly mistakes. Louise shares her journey into property and why being cautious is not a weakness, especially for women, when it is done properly. We talk about how to protect yo...
In this episode of the Girls in Property podcast, I sit down with subconscious coach and mentor Natasha Clarke for an honest and powerful conversation about our belief system and understanding who you are before you jump into any strategy. We talk about what happens when things feel sticky in business or property, when a strategy is not working, or when you feel like you are doing all the right things but something still feels off. Natasha shares the difference between wobbling and pivoting, ...
In this episode of the Girls in Property podcast, I am joined by Alex Fidoe for one of those conversations that really makes you stop and think about what is possible when you refuse to give up. Alex shares her journey from working in a corporate role to becoming a self taught property developer, and we dive deep into one of her boldest projects yet converting an old abattoir into something completely new. This is not a glossy overnight success story. We talk honestly about the planning battl...
This week on the Girls in Property podcast, I am joined by our first formal guest for 2026. The incredible Becky Lotto, for a really honest and uplifting conversation all about being boldly brilliant as we move into 2026. This episode is full of truth, encouragement, and real life perspective. Becky shares her story openly, including everything she has been through and how she has chosen not to let any of it hold her back. We talk about growth, confidence, community, and what it actually look...
To kick off the very first Girls in Property podcast episode of 2026, I am welcoming back someone I know so many of you absolutely love. My mum, Yolanda Dobson. She is very much a firm favourite in this community, so it felt only right to start the new year with her. This episode is all about keeping it real. As we step into a brand-new year and welcome in the year of the horse, this felt like the perfect time to pause, reflect and gently look ahead at what might be possible. Not in an ...
Right… this is it. The final episode of the Girls in Property Podcast for 2025. I honestly cannot believe I am writing that. We have recorded over 45 episodes this year and this one feels really special. It felt right to end the year doing what I always do best on this podcast… being open, honest, a little emotional, and sharing what I have really learnt along the way. In this final episode of 2025, I bare my soul and reflect on the year that has been. The highs, the challenges, the growth, t...
Ever sat with a cup of tea and thought… if I had to package up everything I know and everything I’m good at and sell it tomorrow… what would that even look like? In this episode I sat down with the brilliant Kylie Anderson and we talked about this idea of asset intelligence. Not just property assets but the biggest one of all you. So many women step into property believing they need more training or more time before they can start. But the truth is you might already be sitting on the skill se...
In this episode of the Girls in Property podcast I sit down with the brilliant Alice Dartnell to explore a question so many of us as entrepreneurs ask ourselves. Is mindset actually enough? We hear so much about positive thinking, manifestation and keeping our energy high, but what about the deeper layers underneath all of that? What about the beliefs sitting in your subconscious that shape how you move, lead and make decisions long before you even realise it? Alice and I talk honestly about ...
In this episode I sit down with Chris Tremlett from UK Homes Network for one of the most honest and human conversations I have had on the podcast. You know I love going deeper than the shiny surface of the property world, and this chat does exactly that. Chris opens up about his journey in property, the pressures he has faced behind the scenes, and the personal battles with mental health and addiction that shaped the person and the business he is building today. We talk about what it really f...
This week I am sitting down with the brilliant Shelly Yates to open up the world of deal sourcing in a really honest and grounded way. A lot of women look at deal sourcing as their first step into property because it feels fast paced and cash flowing. But there is a side to it that people do not always see, and Shelly talks openly about what it is actually like, the strengths that really matter, and the parts that can feel challenging too. She shares her journey into property, what day to day...
Ever stopped to notice where stress shows up in your body? Maybe it’s that knot in your stomach before a meeting, the tight shoulders after a long day, or that constant buzz that never quite switches off. In this episode, I sit down with Anastasia Ttofis to chat about somatics and how understanding your body can change the way you show up in life, business and property. We talk about what’s really happening when you feel stressed or stuck, how tuning in to your nervous system helps you ...
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 t...
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 under...

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 tenan...
