We’re back after an unforgettable week at the Girls in Property 2025 Retreat—and what a week it was! There’s no better way to get back into the swing of things than with this lively and inspiring episode featuring the fabulous Emma Finn.

You might know her as Oakshill Property on socials, but today, Emma’s sitting down with me to share the real story behind her incredible journey from the classroom to the world of property development. She opens up about what it truly took to leave behind a teaching career and build a successful business from the ground up, including the messy bits, the milestones, and everything in between.

In our chat, Emma speaks candidly about the rollercoaster of renovation projects, the big decisions around financing with cash versus bridging loans, and the key role strong relationships—especially with architects and trusted partners—play in securing deals and driving results.

We also dive into the power of community, particularly for women in the property world. Emma talks about how leaning into that support network has kept her grounded and motivated, even during the tough times. She’s all about building her business at a pace that feels sustainable and true to her—no burnout, just balance.

And just when you think you’ve got her figured out, Emma shares a fascinating look into her new passion: spirituality and human design. She explains how getting to know herself on a deeper level has transformed the way she runs her business and why aligning your strategy with your personal design can lead to greater success and well-being.

This episode is fun, empowering, and packed with wisdom. If you’re standing at a crossroads, wondering whether to take the leap into something new—this conversation is exactly what you need.
