Tradeswomen Talk
Tradeswomen Talk gets real about life in the skilled trades, construction careers, and male‑dominated industries, no filters, no fluff.
Hosted by plumber, trades advocate, and island firebrand Judaline Cassidy, this motivational podcast features bold conversations with women and men across the trades, from plumbing and electrical to carpentry, ironwork, and beyond, who are building careers, breaking barriers, and changing what “women in construction” and “women in the trades” look like.
From job site truths to personal breakthroughs, these are the career stories and blue‑collar realities you won’t hear in any HR meeting. If you’re in the field, in an apprenticeship, running a crew, or dreaming about a nontraditional career, you’re in the right place.
Expect grit, big laughs, hard lessons, women’s empowerment, and unapologetic honesty, with a little island sass in every episode.
We don’t wait our turn, we take our space.
It’s our time.
We Can Do It.
