In this no-fluff episode of Honest Property, Becky and Ruth sit down with Elle Kealy — a powerhouse Pilates entrepreneur and mum who’s rewritten the rules on fitness and wellbeing for business owners.

Elle’s journey from exhausting HIIT sessions to sustainable Pilates movement is a game-changer for anyone trying to survive and thrive in the entrepreneurial world. She dives deep into the messy reality behind “work-life balance” (spoiler: it doesn’t exist), how to prevent burnout before it hits, and why daily movement doesn’t need to be a chore.

This episode also tackles breaking Pilates stereotypes, the importance of community, and how inclusivity is shaping the future of fitness.

Whether you’re hustling hard or just needing a reset, Elle’s insights will give you permission to breathe, move, and show up for yourself without the pressure to be perfect.

This week on the Honest Property Podcast, Becky and Ruth sit down with Lynnette, a former fashion and beauty journalist and property investor — who went on to build a sustainable, thriving vintage fashion business, Lovely’s Vintage Emporium. After a career in magazines, Lynnette also began investing in property — and that move changed everything. It gave her the freedom (and cashflow) to step away and build a business on her own terms.

In this episode, we explore:

• How property became the springboard for her fashion business
• Why preloved is the future — and how she built a loyal online community
• Learning to trust your gut in both property and business decisions
• What she wishes more women knew about financial independence

This is a story of reinvention, values-driven business, and the power of using your assets to create something meaningful.
