In this compelling episode, Athena is joined by the remarkable Heather Smail, also known as Blonde Property, who unfolds a poignant narrative of Adversity to Triumph. Heather's journey begins with a series of heart-wrenching events, including the loss of her father at 17, her mother at 23, and her husband at 29. These tragic events led to the challenges that ignited her unwavering determination to construct a multi-million pound property portfolio for the financial security of herself and her daughter.

Heather courageously lays bare the challenges she faced, from the repossession of her family home and a return to a council estate in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, to her current status as the personal owner of nearly 40 properties. The strategic use of the BRRR (Buy, Refurbish, Rent, Refinance) approach emerges as a key element in her success, providing a substantial net income that enables her to contemplate retirement with contentment.

In the podcast discussion, Athena and Heather delve deep into the intricacies of the BRRR strategy, shedding light on its workings and emphasizing the potential for remarkable results and returns when executed with precision. Heather reflects on the compound effect, stressing the significance of daily consistency and unwavering commitment to her goals as the driving forces behind the gradual but sure expansion of her portfolio.

Heather's story serves as a compelling testament to the transformative power of resilience, illustrating that in the face of adversity, anyone can overcome challenges and attain extraordinary achievements with persistence, determination, and a positive mindset. It is also a powerful reminder that anything is possible.

Not talking about money helps to preserve the gender pay gap and stops us from understanding the reasons why it exists and how to close it. Sarah is the person who opens up the wealth growth conversation, un-weirds money and helps us all understand it better through her property training company Cogito Wealth which helps established entrepreneurs and new starters in property to think differently about creating wealth.

However Money Mechanics is Sarah's upcoming book that talks about strategies for wealth creation, improving our relationship with it and spending it correctly - just what we all need to get sorted from the outset! The book is out in September - click here to join the preorder waitlist.

In this episode of the Girls in Property podcast, host Athena Dobson interviews Lucinda Axelsson, a former TV producer turned thriving property investor. Lucinda shares her inspiring journey of resilience and transformation after overcoming personal and professional challenges, including a divorce and career shift. Since beginning her property journey in February 2024 under Athena's mentorship, Lucinda has built an impressive portfolio that includes one buy-to-let and five HMOs (Houses of Multiple Occupation).
During their conversation, Lucinda and Athena explore why HMOs are her strategic choice for cash flow, the valuable lessons learned from setbacks, and the role of positivity, self-belief, and mentorship in helping her silence doubts and embrace her ambitions. This episode is a powerful discussion on authenticity and the importance of surrounding yourself with the right environment to achieve success.
My hope is that this conversation inspires you to believe in yourself, overcome fears and doubts, and move forward with purpose, confidence, and resilience.

Hey everyone, welcome back to the second episode of the year for Girls in Property! In this episode, Iโ€™m talking to all the newbies entering the property world and sharing the advice I wish I had when I first started out.

Starting in property can feel overwhelmingโ€”trying to figure out who to trust, what advice to follow, and where to best spend your time and money. While I donโ€™t have all the answers, Iโ€™ve put together six key lessons I wish I knew from the start, along with practical tips for anyone beginning their property journey today.

This episode is as raw and real as it gets. I kick things off by reading a letter I wrote to myself a year ago, showing how much progress you can make in just 12 months. I also dive into the common mistakes many people make when starting out, and how you can avoid them by taking the right actions.

Tune in for an honest, educational, and down-to-earth conversation. Enjoy!
