Meet our #WomanOfTheWeek — Rachel Bourne. ⛏️ Rac Meet our #WomanOfTheWeek — Rachel Bourne. ⛏️ 

Rachel is proof that showing up, working hard, and backing yourself opens doors that weren't built for you. 

"Once I knew what I was doing, I felt unstoppable." 

On getting paid more: She didn't ask — she earned it. After 5 years and 3 companies, her skills spoke for themselves and the right opportunity finally matched her worth. 

On the 'good girl' trap: She skipped it. In a trade where the job just needed to get done, Rachel focused on being as helpful as possible — and let her work do the talking. 

On confidence: "I don't know if it's confidence or passion. I'm still learning every day — and I think that's the point." 

On ruffling feathers: "Not everyone is going to like, respect, or support you — but don't let that affect you. There will always be people who do. Hard work and perseverance pays off." 

💙 Real women. Real careers. Real conversations.

Meet our #WomanOfTheWeek — Camila Bernal. 🔨 Cami Meet our #WomanOfTheWeek — Camila Bernal. 🔨 

Camila is proof that backing yourself and knowing your worth changes everything in construction. 

"After 6 years on the tools, I stopped waiting for permission and started backing myself." 

On asking for more: She set her own standards and charged her worth, because if she didn't, someone else would set them lower. 

On the 'good girl' trap: "Being respected is more important than being liked." 

On confidence: "I don't have to be perfect to be powerful." 

On ruffling feathers: "Growth doesn't come from staying quiet. Don't fear being misunderstood, fear playing small."
