Women in the Trades: Balance and Burnout

18 May 2025

Watch on YouTube

This is a YouTube video titled "Women in the Trades: Balance and Burnout" containing a conversation between two speakers discussing challenges faced by women in trade professions, particularly focusing on work-life balance and advice for new mothers struggling to manage both roles. The content is from May 18, 2025, and addresses support and encouragement in this context.

What would you say to a stranger listening who's in the trades? Maybe another woman in the trades who is really struggling with that work life balance? Maybe they're a new mom like you are and they just can't. They're really struggling with making it work. How would you advise them to approach making any changes?
Give yourself grace. It's difficult for a lot of people, and I think it's something that's not talked about enough. Just know that you're not alone and don't be afraid to ask for help. It doesn't make you less of a mom or less of a good business owner or anything like that. In fact, it makes you better.
