International Women's Day.....Here we go again.

It's a day when we celebrate our fellow women and what we've achieved, taking into account our disadvantages. I normally go all out on the positive note about how far we've come and how I love working within an industry that supports women, but I'm going to be frank with you, it doesn't.

I've felt the shift, the eye rolls, being told to quiet down, doors no longer being held open, being chastised, and told I don't know what I'm doing. This is not from other women, but from men, yet I'm still here, doing all I can to make a success of myself because this stuff fuels me. Tell me I can't do something and I'll give you 100 reasons why I can.

Outwith my industry, I'm seeing more violence against women, more bullying, and less investment in women's health. As the far right creeps in, more of our basic human rights are being eroded. You only need to look to America to see how women no longer have the right over their own bodies. If we're not vigilant, the same will happen here.

So why is this happening? Are we not good mothers and daughters? Are we not adding to the public purse with the hours we work? Our hard-working efforts are being seen as a threat, but here's the thing: our success is not at the cost of men's. There is room enough for us all to grow and be successful together. All we ask is to have a choice and the right to decide. Be seen, be heard, and most of all, taken seriously.

I've learned how to surround myself with great men who understand this and champion me at every opportunity. I'm thankful I've got a sensational team that has my best interests at heart. I'm very grateful, as it's not always been the case.

So, on International Women's Day, can we just be a little more tolerant and let women forge their own paths please? Contrary to popular belief, we don't want to see the downfall of men. It's quite the opposite. When we work together, we strengthen bonds and create a more inviting space to co-exist. Don't let fear and apathy break us apart. Be vigilant about what you see and hear. Call it out if it doesn't feel right. We all deserve better.

Reno update: what have I been working on?
Well, after the drama of splitting my head open in the bathroom from eating a dodgy oyster, I can finally share the good news about my commercial project. We got the planning permission along with the building warrant! The planning seemed to come through quite quickly, but the building warrant was painfully slow. It's full steam ahead, converting these two shops into a 3-bed, 2-bathroom ground-floor apartment.
They've sat empty for a few years now as we see the decline of the high street. It's a joy to see them being repurposed. I'm very excited to share with you this investment project; the highs, the lows and how we've financed it.
If you'd like to invest in projects like this and be part of something more community-based, then get in touch.

Holidays are a special time when you feel like you’ve really earned it. As much as I love my country, I do love a bit of sun for a few weeks. It’s a time to recharge the batteries and start thinking about where you and your business is headed.
If you are thinking about starting your portfolio journey this year then it’s never too late. Opportunities are out there. You just need to know where to look.
If you need me I’ll be drinking raki and eating Greek salads for the next week. Drop me a DM to start a chat.

Last week I plucked up the courage to go on the Property Podcast. It's something I'd pondered over for years as had asked me many times but I always found a reason not to. I pulled up my big girl pants and went for it but what did we talk about?

Well, what do most of the podcast guests talk about? How they build wealth, building a portfolio or renovating property? I've done all of those things and on a large scale so why was I so nervous?

My journey into the property field is far from conventional and I'd like to think it's still not. I decided it was time to talk about the hardships of a property business and how it's shaped me. I've worked exceptionally hard to get to where I am now but let me tell you, it was not easy. Far from it. A long time ago I was riding high.....then I lost it all.

This was an opportunity to talk about wealth creation and what really matters in life. And guess what? It's not money.

Nick tells me I've got 6 long agonising weeks before the podcast goes live. I'm bracing myself.

It could all go horribly wrong.

Heather Offord has put this wonderful video together of us who worked on her Growth Roadmap. It’s a wonderful reminder that we work better together, lifting and championing each other. If we don’t do it then who will?

If I can urge you to do one thing on International Women’s Day, it’s recognising the power of supporting another woman in her quest to build a business. It’s exceptionally hard but made easier with fantastic women around us. There shouldn’t be any competition around strong women, only power and strength to do great things.
