EPISODE 590: How do women build confidence as real estate investors?

So many women are waiting to feel fully confident before making a move in their investing journey. They spend months researching, overthinking, and second-guessing themselves, trying to eliminate every possible risk before taking the next step. From the outside, it looks like preparation. From the inside, it feels like a wall they cannot quite break through.

If you have ever felt stuck between wanting to grow and feeling afraid to move forward, this episode will help you understand why hesitation is not a sign that you are incapable. It may simply mean you are expecting confidence to arrive before experience, instead of because of it.

In this episode of The Real Estate InvestHER Podcast, Liz and Andresa break down the psychology behind confidence, why women consistently underestimate their capabilities in investing, and how to start building confidence through small, strategic actions instead of waiting until you "feel ready."

They unpack the difference between competence and confidence, explain how different personality types build confidence in different ways, and share why taking micro actions is often the fastest way to create momentum. Through personal stories and real investing examples, they walk through how confidence grows when you break big projects into smaller phases, gather the right support system, and allow yourself to learn as you go.

They also explore the importance of community and why having experienced investors around you can help regulate fear, reduce overwhelm, and give you the courage to make better decisions. Whether you are buying your first property, navigating a difficult situation, or stepping into a completely new investment strategy, this episode is a reminder that confidence is a skill, not a personality trait.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why confidence is built through action, not before it
• How to tell the difference between competence and confidence in investing
• Why women often underestimate their investing abilities
• How small, micro actions create momentum and decisive growth
• Why evidence from past success matters when making investing decisions
• How to "borrow confidence" from experienced investors who have done it before

This conversation is a powerful reminder that you do not need to feel fearless before taking the next step. You simply need to start moving.

EPISODE 589: Why do so many successful women still feel unfulfilled, even after achieving their goals?

So many women in real estate are doing everything "right" on paper. They are building portfolios, closing deals, and hitting milestones, yet something still feels misaligned. The success looks great from the outside, but on the inside it feels heavy, scattered, or strangely empty.

If you have been quietly wondering why your wins are not landing the way you thought they would, or why "more" keeps feeling like the answer even when it never quite is, this episode will help you reconnect with the version of success that actually belongs to you.

In this episode of The Real Estate InvestHER Podcast, Liz and Andresa dive into the deeper reason behind that disconnect and challenge the traditional definition of success that so many women have unknowingly adopted along the way.

They unpack how early exposure to investing often comes with a predefined blueprint, buy more doors, scale faster, and keep pushing without ever stopping to ask what success actually looks like on your own terms. As a result, many high-achieving women find themselves chasing goals that were never truly theirs, which leads to burnout, frustration, and a quiet sense of misalignment that is hard to name.

Through honest reflection and real-life examples, Liz and Andresa explore how to redefine success based on your current season of life, how to measure fulfillment through the journey rather than only the result, and how to reconnect with your own internal compass. They also break down the importance of debriefing what is working, identifying the root cause of challenges instead of defaulting to blame, and creating systems and rhythms that protect both your financial and your time freedom.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why traditional definitions of success often lead to burnout and misalignment
• How to tell the difference between external achievement and internal fulfillment
• Why celebrating wins and debriefing your projects is critical for long-term growth
• How recurring communication and clear systems quietly compound success
• How to move from overwhelm to intentional, focused action in your investing
• How to define financial freedom and design your business around it, not the other way around

This conversation is a powerful invitation to pause, reassess, and intentionally design a business and a life that actually feels aligned.

EPISODE 588: Every real estate investor wants to make the right move. The reality is, there are no perfect decisions. What matters most is the framework behind them.

Without a clear decision-making framework, hesitation, overthinking, and waiting for certainty can quietly become the most expensive patterns in your business, often costing more than a bad deal.

If you’ve been sitting on a decision, second-guessing your next move, or delaying action while waiting for clarity, this episode will help you shift how you approach decision-making in today’s market.

In this episode of The Real Estate InvestHER Podcast, Liz and Andresa sit down with Alecia St. Germain, investor and coach to over 10,000 entrepreneurs, to explore the psychology and strategy behind confident decisions.

Alecia shares how early missed opportunities, driven by limited financial clarity and underdeveloped leadership skills, shaped her approach to business and investing. As she strengthened her understanding of cash flow, long-term planning, and team leadership, her ability to make strategic decisions evolved, along with her results.

Together, they unpack how your relationship with money, your environment, and your internal beliefs directly influence the decisions you make or avoid.

They also explore the Great Wealth Transfer, the current economic landscape, and why this moment presents a significant opportunity to build long-term wealth for those willing to act with intention.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• How your relationship with money is quietly shaping your growth
• How to move from overthinking to aligned, confident action
• Why understanding your numbers is the key to scaling sustainably
• How to evaluate cost versus value when investing in yourself
• Why this market presents a unique window to build generational wealth
• The mindset traps that keep women investors playing small

This conversation is a powerful reminder: clarity doesn't come before action. It comes from it.

EPISODE 587: Why do so many successful investors feel overwhelmed while growing their businesses?

Growing a real estate business can create freedom, and it can also create complexity. More decisions, more responsibilities, and more demands on your time. At a certain point, growth can start to feel heavy instead of energizing.

If you have been growing your real estate business but find yourself stretched thin, stuck in the weeds, or doing the work only you can do on top of everything else, this episode will help you reclaim your time and energy with intention.

In this episode of The Real Estate InvestHER Podcast, Liz sits down with Erin Bradley, entrepreneur, and author of Pursuing Freedom, to explore why so many high-performing women end up exhausted while trying to grow.

Erin shares her journey from financial hardship during the 2008 market crash to building a thriving business, only to realize that growth without support can become another form of burnout. Together, Liz and Erin unpack how to move from doing everything yourself to building a business designed for sustainability.

They dive into the mindset patterns that keep women stuck in overwhelm, the practical steps to reclaim time and energy, and how to scale sustainably without sacrificing freedom, presence, or peace.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• The early signs you are carrying too much on your own
• Why women are conditioned to tie their worth to productivity
• How to identify and outsource your biggest energy leaks
• The true cost of doing low-value work as a high-level entrepreneur
• How to shift from working in your business to working on it

This conversation offers a powerful reframe: sustainable growth is not about doing more. It is about doing what matters most, building leverage, and creating a business that supports your life.

EPISODE 586: Conflict is often treated as something to avoid, manage quickly, or move past altogether. But in real estate, your ability to navigate hard conversations with partners, contractors, capital partners, and even at home is often what determines whether a deal holds together or quietly falls apart.

If you’re growing your business but still find that difficult conversations throw you off, this episode will shift how you approach them.

In this episode of The Real Estate InvestHER Podcast, Andresa sits down with Anna Lecat, conflict and communication expert and author of Loving Conflict: Creating Collaboration Where Others See Division, to explore how to handle conflict in a way that builds trust instead of breaking it.

Anna reframes conflict as an opportunity for deeper connection, clarity, and alignment, both in business and in life. Drawing on her global experience across cultures, she explains how differences in communication styles, expectations, and norms are often misunderstood as misalignment.

She also shares why conflict is often avoided, not because of a lack of skill, but because of the fear of making things worse in the moment.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why avoiding conflict weakens relationships and decision-making

• How to shift from “winning the argument” to staying connected

• What it really means to listen, including being open to changing your mind

• Practical ways to create psychological safety in conversations

• How cultural differences shape communication and perception

• How to recognize triggers and communicate boundaries clearly

This conversation goes beyond surface-level tactics. It challenges you to approach conflict with curiosity, stay present in discomfort, and focus on connection over being right.

Because handling difficult conversations isn’t about avoiding them or winning them. It’s about staying connected long enough to find a better outcome.

EPISODE 585: What skills do real estate investors need to stay competitive?

As the market continues to evolve, success in real estate is no longer only about working harder or knowing more. It is about how well you can adapt, stay grounded under pressure, and leverage the tools available to you. The investors who will thrive in the next decade are the ones who can navigate uncertainty, make aligned decisions, and move quickly with confidence.

In part two of this 6 Skills Real Estate Investors Need Before 2030 series, Liz and Andresa break down the final three future-proof skills investors need to develop: resilience and adaptability, motivation and self-awareness, and technological literacy. Through real-life examples, from navigating challenges in business to improving decision-making and integrating AI into daily operations, they highlight how these skills directly impact your ability to grow and sustain your real estate business.

Liz and Andresa illustrate the critical skills required for modern real estate investing, including:

• How daily habits build resilience and help you stay steady during uncertainty
• Why adaptability requires awareness, strategy, and intentional communication
• The gap between believing you are self-aware and actually doing the work
• How honest feedback and strong relationships accelerate growth
• Why technological literacy and AI are essential for staying competitive

This conversation challenges the idea that doing more or working harder will automatically lead to better results. Instead, they emphasize that growth comes from being intentional about how you think, how you respond, and how you evolve. If you are ready to strengthen your decision- making, expand your awareness, and future-proof your investing strategy, this episode will help you take the next step.

EPISODE 584: Which skills will matter most for real estate investors in the next 5 years?

According to research from the World Economic Forum, 40% of the skills we rely on today will change by 2030. For real estate investors, success is no longer about access to information. It’s about how quickly you can analyze, adapt, and make confident decisions in a changing market.

In this episode of The Real Estate InvestHER Podcast, Liz and Andresa break down three future-proof skills every investor needs to develop: analytical thinking, leadership, and clear communication.

Through real-life examples, from evaluating deals and identifying market trends to building teams and raising capital, they show how these skills directly impact your ability to grow and sustain a real estate business.

In this episode, we cover:

• How to evaluate opportunities beyond surface-level data

• How to identify trends, demand shifts, and strategic moves in your market

• Why leadership starts with self-awareness, not team size

• The difference between leading and managing, and why it matters

• How unclear communication can cost you deals and opportunities

This conversation challenges the idea that you need to be naturally “analytical” or have a large team to succeed. These are learnable, trainable skills that show up in your everyday decisions, from how you solve problems to how you communicate your vision and lead others.

If you’re ready to stop over-consuming information and start becoming a more effective real estate investor, this episode lays the foundation.

EPISODE 583: Struggling to keep your construction projects on time and on budget once the deal is closed?

Many real estate investors focus on finding and acquiring the right property, but the real challenge begins during construction. Unexpected issues come up, timelines shift, and change orders increase, causing delays that can quickly impact your profitability if you’re not managing your project efficiently.

In this episode of The Real Estate InvestHER Podcast, Liz and Andresa break down a real-time $5 million ground-up construction project and share exactly what it takes to manage it successfully. From building an A-plus team to understanding your own gaps as a leader, they walk through how to align with experienced professionals who can execute at a high level and eliminate costly learning curves.

They also unpack how to handle the inevitable delays that come with construction, including zoning surprises and weather challenges. Most importantly, they share three critical strategies to stay in control: increasing communication with your team, making proactive decisions to keep momentum, and maintaining a clear pulse on your cash flow. This episode is a practical blueprint for any investor who wants to protect their timeline, their budget, and ultimately, their profit.

EPISODE 582: What does long-term success in real estate investing actually look like?

Many investors are taught that success is directly tied to the number of properties they own. After nearly 30 years of combined experience, Liz and Andresa know that success for women real estate investors looks very different. If you have been focused on growing your real estate portfolio but are starting to question what success should look like for you, this episode will help you gain clarity and move forward with more intention.

Ten years ago, a group of women came together in a mastermind with big goals and a shared vision of what success in real estate investing should look like. A decade later, their businesses, priorities, and lives have evolved in ways they did not initially expect.

In this episode of The Real Estate InvestHER Podcast, Liz and Andresa reconnect with Jonna Weber, Dawn Brenengen, Brennan Tomasetti, and Mindy Jensen to reflect on how their real estate investing strategies, leadership, and personal definitions of success have shifted over the past decade.

This conversation explores what happens after the initial growth phase, when investors begin to question what real estate investing success really means and whether scaling a real estate portfolio is the only path forward.

They break down the leadership skills required for sustainable real estate investing, including:

• Communicating clearly as your business and responsibilities grow
• Delegating and letting go of control
• Trusting your intuition when making decisions
• Knowing when it is time to pivot your real estate strategy

They also share the realities that are often overlooked in conversations about real estate investing, including real estate investing burnout, mistakes, and the pressure many women feel to prove themselves before taking action.

Long-term success in real estate investing is not just about building more. It is about building a portfolio and business that align with your life, values, and long-term goals.
