Let's be honest, 2026 has started off pretty heavy.

The property industry feels volatile, motivation is low, and a lot of capable business owners are making decisions based on fear rather than strategy.

In this episode, I'm talking about what I'm seeing and hearing right now – from my mastermind table, from one-to-one clients, and from my own experience navigating an industry that hasn't felt particularly easy since 2020.

Because here's what worries me: when things get tough, the instinct is to stop, pull back, and wait it out. But what if it stays like this for another year? Two years? What's the backup plan then?

I cover:

✱ Why grinding to a halt isn't actually a strategy ✱ What pivoting actually looks like in practice ✱ Real client stories of women who've adapted rather than stopped ✱ Why stripping back your marketing and development could be the most dangerous move right now ✱ The isolation trap – why going it alone (or relying on AI) isn't the answer ✱ How to start making decisions from strategy rather than fear ✱ Why finding your people matters more than ever right now

I also share my own pivot story – from SA, to HMOs, to flips – and why I've never once ground to a halt, even when it would have been the easier option.

This episode won't fix the market. But hopefully it'll remind you that you're not alone, and that there's always a way through.
