This week I went to town renovating a section of my house. But, like all home renovations it spread from one section of the house to the next. Being a big believer in the theory of Feng Shui I used that to redo this room. But, not only did I redo the room, I uncovered old shame, fear, embarrassment that lived in this room that desperately needed a redo.Sometimes renovating your house isn't just about your house. It's about the person who lives inside of it.

We interview Sarah Larbi, where she discusses her real estate investment journey: Sarah began with a "boring" buy and hold strategy, purchasing a small $129,000 house in Brantford with 20% down while working two jobs to save money. She progressed from basic buy-and-hold to BRRRR (Buy, Renovate, Rent, Refinance, Repeat), then expanded into short-term rentals with cottages in 2018, and eventually developed a resort in 2022. The importance of tenant screening after bad experiences, finding the right mortgage broker who understands investing, and evolving strategies with market changes - including mid-term rentals that generate 1.5-2.5x the income of long-term rentals.

We are still in a series called Transformation. We are not to be conformed to the way the world does things; we must be transformed by the process of metamorphosis. In order for us to be transformed, we have to renew or renovate our minds, and every good renovation starts with demo day! You have to remove the old stuff that limits your growth, takes up space, or isn’t a good reflection of the owner. This week’s message is called Poison Paradigms. A paradigm is a mental construct. It’s how we make sense of the world, taking new information and integrating it into something you already believe and understand. Everybody has paradigms, and they are useful — unless they are built on lies. To become like Jesus, we have to let Him pull down the poisonous paradigms and strongholds of our minds.

In September 2025, I took the stage at Shoshanna Raven's Living Brave Live to share a story that has shaped every part of my life, my leadership, and the global movement I've built through SoulWork. This is a deeply personal talk about what it takes to rise as a woman who is devoted to both spiritual depth and business mastery, while creating a legacy of holy redistribution and meaningful impact in the world. The journey begins in the red-light districts of Kolkata, India, where I first encountered the raw edges of human suffering while working alongside survivors of human trafficking. That experience forever changed me. It sparked a defining moment in a cracked mirror, where I asked myself if I was willing to give up everything to be the one who took action — and made the decision to stop waiting for somebody somewhere to do something, and instead become that somebody myself. Out of that moment, SoulWork was born — an organization dedicated to training trauma-informed yoga teachers, leading global retreats, and supporting humanitarian projects around the world. Since its founding in 2015, SoulWork has: Certified thousands of teachers worldwide Built schools and classrooms in India, Guatemala, and Costa Rica Created programs that merge trauma-informed leadership with spiritual practice Crossed $3 million in lifetime revenue while staying rooted in purpose and integrity But my journey hasn't always been easy. Behind the scenes of sold-out retreats and visible success, I struggled with financial scarcity, debt, and the pressure of carrying a global mission. I share how I went from being overextended and exhausted — running 50 retreats a year — to completely restructuring my business into a sustainable, high-profit, low-maintenance model. This shift didn't just transform my business, it transformed my life. It gave me the space to: Renovate my grandfather's home in cash Build a stable financial foundation for my family Deepen my spiritual practice as a lineage carrier in the Himalayas Expand my humanitarian efforts in a way that is truly sustainable In this episode, I also introduce the archetype of the Philanthropic Femme — a rare kind of woman who embodies three essential pillars: Spiritual Depth – devotion to personal practice and a connection to something greater than herself Business Mastery – the strategy, systems, and leadership required to scale her vision Holy Redistribution – using wealth to fund movements, support marginalized communities, and create systemic change This talk is an invitation to every woman who feels the tension between her desire for inner fulfillment, her outer success, and her calling to make a difference. If you are ready to: Build a business that reflects your soul's purpose Step into financial sovereignty while staying deeply rooted in service Merge feminine leadership, conscious business practices, and philanthropy And become the woman who stops waiting and starts creating the change she longs to see …this episode will light a fire in your spirit. You'll leave with a new perspective on leadership, wealth, and impact — and the clarity to walk your own path as a Philanthropic Femme.

In this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, co-hosts Liam Garman and Emilie Lauer unpack renovation opportunities alongside the buyer's behaviours, government schemes, rate cuts, and price trends. Australia's property market is shifting, with first home buyers and investors adapting to new government support, interest rate changes, and evolving buyer preferences. Renovations are proving to be a smart strategy, often boosting values by at least 10 per cent and sometimes doubling returns, although hidden costs and delays remain risks. The duo warns against rushing in or relying too heavily on DIY, stressing the importance of careful planning and professional assistance. In hot markets such as Tasmania, South Australia, and Western Australia, properties with polished, professionally designed interiors are achieving premiums of more than 100 per cent. Buyer's behaviours have also shown more flexibility, increasingly willing to compromise on features like the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, or solar systems to secure a home. Ultimately, the duo believes that success in today's market comes down to seizing opportunities, making informed compromises, and approaching renovations with a clear, strategic plan.

We’re in the fourth week of our Transformation series, which is based on Romas 12:2. The word “transformed” in this verse comes from the word from which we get “metamorphosis,” and everyone knows that is the process by which caterpillars become butterflies. Jesus didn’t come, so we could be better caterpillars; He came to change us into something completely different and new. Last week, we found out that accomplish that by changing the way we think. We have to renovate our thoughts and attitudes, which means approaching everything from the perspective Jesus instructed: we have to love God and love others. The title of last week’s message was “Start with Love,” and we’re going to continue that discussion this week by talking about what love looks like.
