From PE Teacher to Property Investor: The Messy Pivot

Описание: From PE Teacher to Property Investor: The Messy Pivot
How saying yes before you’re ready can quietly change everything.

Amy Seagraves didn’t have a master plan.
She wasn’t chasing “financial freedom” quotes on Instagram.
She just stopped waiting to feel ready.

After winning £50k on The Cube, Amy quit teaching, travelled, came home… and threw herself into property investing with zero experience, plenty of imposter syndrome, and a lot of late-night Googling.

This episode is a brutally honest look at the messy middle:
– starting before you’re confident
– navigating male-dominated spaces
– juggling a “safe” job while building something new
– and why action beats overthinking every single time

If you’ve been stuck in analysis paralysis, quietly dreaming of a pivot — this one will hit.
