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.

After five years of running successful masterminds, mentoring, and consultancy programs, I've taken everything I've learned and created something brand new for 2026: The Raw Business Mastermind.

This isn't just another online program. It's a 12-month, all-female mastermind specifically designed for women running established property and property-related businesses who are ready to step back, get clear, and move forward with intention.

In this episode, I'm taking you through:

✱ Why I created this program and who it's for

✱ What makes it different (hint: spa retreats and real face-to-face connection)

✱ How it came about from spotting patterns with my clients

✱ Why female business owners need this kind of space right now

✱ What's actually included over the 12 months

If you've got big plans but you're stuck in the trenches, feeling overwhelmed, or craving proper connection with women who actually get it – this is for you.

The Raw Business Mastermind starts April 2026. Spaces are limited.

New year. New energy. But before you jump straight in, let's make sure you're actually set up to succeed.

I wanted to kick off 2026 by breaking down my five top tips to start the year properly.

Because honestly, how you start sets the tone for everything that follows.

Nailing your working week structure. Protecting your time. Being brutally honest about your capacity. Getting real about social media and AI.

These are the things that'll actually make the difference.

Listen in and let's get this year started right.
