It’s Raining, You’re Panicking, and Your Roof Isn’t On
28 Jul 2025
00:21:15
We’re told to expect delays in building, but no one tells you what that actually feels like.
In this episode, Jaimi and Maddie get radically honest about the reality of building during Perth’s winter months. From rained-out slabs to sick tradies, feature brick delays to delayed titles, we pull back the curtain on what’s really going on behind those “sorry, your build’s delayed” emails.
This isn’t just about weather. It’s about pressure. It’s about the emotional toll of construction. It’s about what you can control and how to cope when everything feels out of your hands.
We talk through:
What’s a “normal” delay and what’s a red flag
What builders plan for (and what they don’t)
How weather impacts everything from slab pour to your street being titled
Why pushing too hard can sometimes make things worse
The right way to ask your builder for an update
And why your emotions in this process are 100% valid
“If you’re freaking out, that doesn’t mean your build’s a disaster, it just means you care. And you’re human.”
Whether you're in the middle of construction, about to start, or just trying to stay sane through delays this episode is your calm voice in the chaos.

The Conversations That Changed Everything: Inside the Real Lives of First Home Buyers
21 Jul 2025
00:34:43
This is the episode that takes you behind the curtain. Behind the Instagram highlights. Behind the floor plans and finance. To the real stories of what it actually takes to build your first home right now in Perth.
Because for most people, it’s not Pinterest boards and champagne slab parties. It’s fear. Overwhelm. Pressure. Missteps. Regret. And in the right hands… it’s also clarity, wins, and second chances.
In this episode, Jaimi and Mim share the honest, unfiltered stories of clients who:
Were given 6 weeks to make it all happen, or lose everything
Had their flooring discontinued mid-build and were told it would cost $7K more
Spent their deposit and believed the dream was over
Were rebuilding trust after a nightmare COVID-era build
Paid money to a builder before seeing a sketch or a single quote
But every story had one thing in common: 💡 A turning point. 🎯 A decision to ask for help. 🔥 And a reminder that building doesn’t have to break you.
