In this episode of the Sparky Life podcast, host Lia Lamela chats with Kelly McNamara, a soon to be red seal carpenter, about her career transition into carpentry and her experiences as a woman in the trades. She emphasizes the importance of finding a company that values workers and the economic need for new talent in the trades. Kelly also reflects on the societal perceptions of trades and her personal growth, highlighting compassion as a key tool for success.

👷‍♀️ More Than Just a Pretty Face! We dive deep into the representation of women in trades on social media. Kelly's perspective on the focus on aesthetics versus skill is thought-provoking and raises important questions about the messages we're sending to young girls.
