Union Made, Union Strong: Chelsea Fenton

October 30, 2025 • Season 3 • Episode 8

Grab your hard hat and your attitude, because this episode is serving steel-toed sisterhood and straight-up union pride!

We’re chopping it up with Chelsea Fenton — laborer, leader, and certified “get-the-job-done-and-don’t-complain” queen. From the jobsite to the union hall, Chelsea shows up loud, proud, and ready to remind the world that power tools don’t come with gender labels.

We talk:

💥 Owning your space in a male-populated trade.

💥 Standing union strong when life test you.

💥 Why confidence don’t come in pink, it comes in resilience.

💥 Sisterhood, steel, and showing up with your FULL energy

Chelsea’s the kind of woman who will hype you up, hand you a tool, and dare you to go build your destiny, all before lunch.

And if nobody told you today?

You don’t need permission to be powerful.

Just purpose, persistence, and the resilience to rise again and again.

So tune in, laugh with us, get inspired, and remember:

We’re building the future with grit, grace, and a whole lotta fire.
