She’s back! Now, you might be wondering why we’ve got two social media episodes in a row, but trust me—both bring something unique to the table. Last week, Milly Bellotti shared why posting on social media matters and how to lower the barrier to entry. This week, I’m thrilled to welcome back Sara Smile Scott to take us behind the screen and into the matrix of Instagram, breaking down key strategies for success.

We dive into the importance of understanding the Instagram algorithm, why consistency in posting is crucial, and how to effectively leverage insights. The conversation also tackles the common overwhelm that comes with social media and, once again, reinforces the power of authenticity in personal branding. Plus, I wanted to get Sara’s take on how introverts can confidently navigate social platforms—taking small steps toward visibility, celebrating wins, and building meaningful connections.

Tune in for an engaging and empowering discussion that will help you work smarter, not harder, when it comes to social media!

You asked for it and here it is! Let’s talk about imposter syndrome. 

In this episode of the Girls in Property podcast, Athena Dobson and Akhtar Khan dive into the world of imposter syndrome, and how it shows up in both our personal and professional lives. They chat about the power of mindset, strategy, and emotional intelligence in beating those internal roadblocks and achieving success. Akhtar opens up about his journey from a tough childhood to becoming a successful property investor and business psychologist, sharing why self-discovery and having the right support system are key to navigating the ups and downs of life and business.

The conversation shifts to authenticity, with Akhtar and Athena discussing how tricky it can be to maintain a polished facade while juggling the messy realities of life and business and how much to share of the imperfections both offline and online. They talk about those mental barriers that hold us back from seizing opportunities and why being part of a supportive community can make all the difference and how embracing vulnerability and forming genuine connections are powerful ways to crush imposter syndrome.

The conversation then turns to childhood experiences and how these shape our adult self-esteem and emotional health. They touch on the importance of validation, the healing journey, and how embracing authenticity can help break the cycle of limiting beliefs that get passed down through generations. With personal stories, real talk and a few tears, I hope this will encourage you all to embrace your worth and either build or join strong, supportive communities to lift you up!
