5 podcasts for female construction workers to listen to today
Many female construction workers become members of NAWIC because they want to feel supported within the male-dominated field of construction. One of our main goals with our NAWIC members is to share as much content as we can that will help female construction workers feel seen and heard. Among the sources of great content for female construction workers is the podcast category. We’ve rounded up a list of some of the top-rated podcasts created specifically for construction women and got a few suggestions from our members to add to the list. These podcasts are not only supportive spaces but are great conversation starters for female construction workers as well.
Space to Build
Praised for opening doors of communication for female construction workers, the Space to Build podcast founded by Kathryn Hart is a podcast made up of one-on-one conversations with women in construction. The goal of Space to Build is to amplify the experiences of female construction workers with different backgrounds and industry experience with the hope of providing inspiration and support for younger generations. Creator Kathryn Hart also encourages men to listen to this podcast so they can also understand how female construction workers feel within the industry. If you’re looking for a podcast to make you feel more connected to your fellow construction women, this is it!
Remodel Your Life
With over 35 years of construction industry experience, Remodel Your Life podcast host Camille Finan has heard a lot of stories from female construction workers worth sharing. This podcast not only brings light to women’s experiences within common construction roles but also dives into the world of tradeswomen and the design industry. What makes Remodel Your Life unique is that the team behind it works to provide scholarships, training and content for young women entering the construction and trade industries as well.
The Constructrr
This podcast is all about uplifting female construction workers and working towards making the construction industry one of inclusivity and empowerment.

She Who Dares, Wins
Host Michelle Hand takes an honest look into what it means to be a woman in the construction industry but adds some humor and wit along the way. Michelle explores the good, the bad, and the ugly that comes with working in industries dominated by men. Although Michelle is based in the UK, the content transcends country borders. The podcast includes interviews with female crane operators, award-winning entrepreneurs, and engineering directors, just to name a few from recent episodes.
Hazard Girls
Founder and CEO of Juno Jones Safety Shoes, Emily Soloby, hosts the Hazard Girls podcast which discusses the experiences of women working in non-traditional fields.
