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.

With excitement, let me introduce you to
Dawn Jones Redstone.
This quote is her reality “The power of a written word”
Her word led into a sentence.
Her sentence led into a paragraph.
Her paragraph led into chapters.
The chapters awarded purpose!
The day came when the story inside of her wanted to breath on its own.
Her writing comes from the revolution in her heart
She doesn’t just believe in writing the story she believes in the power of the story. Her stories give life to awareness, possibilities, and presence.
She became an award-winning queer, Latinx writer/director. She was named the Woman of Vision by Oregon Daily Journal of Commerce. In addition, she served as a union carpentry and training manager for a combined total of 15-years.
She continues to change the world by making a choice to pick up a pen and camera.
When we dare to own our stories, we get to create a brave new ending.
