Making Your Brain Your Ally: Rewire Your Mind And Made Confident Financial Decisions

Smart Strategies to Supercharge Your Real Estate Portfolio Before Your Next Investment 

 Your brain is one of your greatest assets. Yet, when it comes to money and investing, it often works against you, undermining your decisions with fear, self-doubt, and imposter syndrome. The good news? You can take control of your thoughts and make your brain work for you rather than against you.

In this session, Dr. Robin Buckley, a cognitive-behavioral coach, will explore the neuroscience behind financial decision-making. You'll gain the tools to shift from hesitation to confidence, learning how to:

- Reframe limiting beliefs that hold you back from making bold financial moves.
- Manage emotions that impact your financial choices and decision-making.
- Implement actionable strategies to take control of your financial future with clarity and confidence.

Walk away with research-backed techniques to overcome fear, build resilience, and start making smarter, more strategic financial decisions. Your brain can be your biggest ally, it’s time to rewire it!



Do you know which properties in your portfolio are thriving—and which are holding you back? Many investors are focused on scaling and overlook the untapped potential within their current portfolios. 
In this empowering and actionable session, Pamela Bardhi will share proven strategies to help you:
- Gain crystal-clear insights into your portfolio's performance.
- Identify hidden opportunities to optimize cash flow and increase profitability.
-  Implement effective tactics for raising rents, reducing expenses, and improving ROI.
- void unnecessary scaling by unlocking the full potential of your existing properties.

Pamela Bardhi, known as The Real Estate Underdog, went from delivering pizzas to building a 9-figure real estate empire by the age of 27. Now, she’s transforming housing with modular solutions like ADUs and shipping container offices, creating sustainable and intentional communities.
Walk away with the confidence to make smarter, more informed decisions that align with your financial goals.

Expand Your Capacity for Success 

Achieving success is the goal of most investors, but few are truly prepared for it. Success isn’t just about learning a new strategy, it’s about increasing your capacity. Your ability to grow your real estate portfolio, your business and yourself depends on how much you can handle, adapt, and evolve.

What if the biggest obstacle isn’t the market or the lack of properties or funding, but the unconscious “rules” you’ve set for yourself that are limiting your potential? The pressure of keeping commitments, the constant worry of not being good enough, knowing enough, or having enough time to balance work and family are internal struggles that silently might be holding you back from reaching your full potential.

In this transformative session, Alecia St. Germain, who has trained over 10,000 people, will guide you through practical exercises to uncover hidden limitations and implement a step-by-step framework to expand your capacity for success. This session is for those ready to break through barriers, think bigger, and fully embrace the success they’ve been working toward.

Alecia St Germain

The Cost of Burnout: How to Reclaim Your Energy

Are you feeling burned out from real estate investing, or are you so passionate that you’re working 24/7 at the cost of your health? Many women investors find themselves at this crossroads, constantly giving but struggling to recharge.

In a world where being “always on” is the norm, self-care often feels like just another task on your to-do list. However, by rethinking self-care, you can create the space and energy needed to pursue the goals you have in life.

In this transformative keynote, Laura Best introduces the FIRE framework—a practical system that guides you to do things just for yourself, embrace activities that spark hope and motivation, adopt essential practices for true rest and recovery, and find energizing experiences that let you be yourself, fill your tank, and leave you feeling better than ever. Laura has helped thousands of women reimagine their approach to work, passion, and self-care—and now it’s your turn!

Laura Best 

Good Deal Bad Deal - New Construction Edition

Real estate development isn’t just for the elite, yet too many women are boxed out, stuck in flipping, wholesaling, or small rentals, never experiencing the power and potential of new construction.

In this power-packed session, Katie Kim, a trailblazing investor who have developed over 170 million dollars —will break down real deals, real numbers, and real strategies to help you analyze new construction opportunities like a developer and stop leaving money on the table.

 What You’ll Learn:
- How to evaluate land deals—spot red flags and uncover hidden potential
- The critical questions most investors overlook—but absolutely need to ask
- Where money is left on the table in new construction—and how to capture it
- How to structure deals like a developer—maximize returns, reduce risk, and leverage incentives

If you’re ready to break into development and start structuring smarter, more profitable deals, this session will give you the clarity, confidence, and tools to make it happen.

Katie Kim 

Evaluating Fund & Crowdfunding Platforms: What Every InvestHER Must Know

Passive investing can be just as powerful as active investing, yet many investors miss out on opportunities because they believe they need to have all the information or extensive experience to start investing passively.

In this session, Caroline Banzali, Attorney and Tax Advisor with over 26 years of experience on transactions valued at up to $15 billion, will break down the "active-only myth" and reveal the key factors every InvestHER should know about investing indirectly in funds and crowdfunding platforms.

You will gain a practical framework to evaluate investments and make informed decisions based on solid facts, a sound investment strategy, and a clear understanding of risk versus reward.
