Rachael (SPREAG) Ep21

In this episode, I sit down with Rachael, founder of SPREAG, who combines over 17 years of experience in the Irish banking sector with a passion for property renovation. As a Certified Financial Planner, she realised that too many homeowners were overspending on renovations, so she set out to create a smarter, more budget-conscious approach to transforming homes. We explore Rachael's journey from finance to entrepreneurship, how she helps homeowners renovate without breaking the bank, and why financial planning is just as important as design when creating your dream home. She shares practical advice on budgeting, sourcing materials, managing renovation projects, and avoiding the costly mistakes that catch so many people out. Beyond property, Rachael opens up about the mindset needed to challenge conventional thinking, take control of your finances, and make confident decisions that create lasting change. Whether you're planning your first renovation, restoring a period home, or simply looking to make your money work harder, this conversation is packed with practical insights and inspiration. If you're ready to stop reacting and start building a life and a home on your own terms, this episode is for you. Rachaels details: the.renovation.strategist (Instagram/TikTok) Website: www.spreag.ie
