In this episode of the London Property Podcast, host Farnaz Fazaipour steps away from tax, law and planning to explore something just as critical to long‑term success in real estate: your own well-being.

Farnaz is joined by Cat (Catharina) Hedberg, Swedish founder of The Ashram, a pioneering wellness retreat that has been transforming the lives of high achievers since 1974. Together, they unpack why property investors, entrepreneurs and professionals who are often operating at full speed must sometimes step away in order to make clearer decisions and better protect their property wealth.

You’ll hear about:

• The origins of The Ashram in California and how it evolved from a weight‑loss focus to a full mind–body reset
• The warning signs that pushing harder is actually damaging your health, judgment and wealth
• Why movement and walking are the simplest daily habits for mental clarity and stress relief
• The myths about retreats and wellness programs and why The Ashram is not a quick fix
• What a typical day at The Ashram looks like, from early yoga and long hikes to massages, vegetarian meals, and evening programs
• How Cat builds a culture of genuine care, heart and attention to detail in her team
• The Ashram’s new focus on healthy travel, with programs in Majorca, Iceland, Portugal, Spain, Japan and the Canary Islands

If you’re a busy property investor or professional who feels constantly “on”, this conversation will show you how a structured reset can help you think more clearly, make better decisions, and ultimately protect the portfolio you’ve worked so hard to build.

The speakers are Marc von Grundherr of Benham & Reeves , Jeremy Davidson , Farnaz Fazaipour, Matt Smith & David Mckee. Leading experts in London's property market.  They discussed the potential impact of the Labour Party's property reforms, particularly the Renters' Rights Bill, on landlords.
Marc von Grundherr argued that the reforms may not be as problematic as feared, as landlords seeking long-term tenants could benefit from more stability. However,  highlighted the issue of evicting problematic tenants, noting the need for a more efficient court system or housing tribunals to handle this.
Jeremy Davidson shared a personal experience as a tenant whose landlord failed to renew the tenancy agreement, questioning who benefits in such situations.
Farnaz Fazaipour criticized the reforms, arguing they will demonize landlords and lead to more landlords selling their properties, thereby increasing rental prices.
Farnaz Fazaipour emphasized the need for the Labour Party to prioritize passing the Leasehold Reform Act, as it has been pending for years and is causing a standstill in the market for those with short leases.
Finally, David Mckee concluded that the reforms will negatively impact small-term buy-to-let investors, pushing the market towards large-scale landlords, which could shrink the supply of rentals in prime residential areas.
The overall sentiment was that the Labour Party's property reforms, while well-intentioned, could have unintended consequences for the rental market and landlords if not carefully implemented.
