Welcome to the She Wears Work Boots Podcast! I'm your host,
Lindsay Reynolds.
For at least the first decade of my career, I was almost always the
only woman on my team and I was in a bit of denial about how
isolated I was. But, recently I've been making more of an effort to
network and connect with other women in the industry and the more I
do it the more confident I become. There are so many women who have
inspired me and really helped me see what I could be and what I
could strive for as a construction professional and as a leader:
I've been able to learn things and grow in ways that I didn't feel
the freedom to before.
And so, this podcast is about sharing that support and inspiration
with you. It's about gathering those those stories of women in
construction, who have great careers who are successful, by their
own definition. My hope is that you can imagine your own potential
in what they've accomplished and give yourself something to strive
for, to be encouraged and validated by.
All of the women that I am interviewing are unique: they have
different personalities, they've chosen different career paths, and
they've all had different beginnings. But what they all have in
common is that they've chosen a career in the construction
industry, they've experienced some success and, and they've found
their fit, they've followed their ambition and see their own bright
future.
It is my hope and intention that in listening to these women's
stories you hear that there is a place for you, there is a place in
this industry where you will be able to find your own success. And
my hope is that as you go forward with this inspiration, you too
are pleasantly surprised to find challenges that you are newly
capable to overcome.
