"Build a life you love. Do what you love. Be the best version of yourself. And never have to do it alone."Penn Petridis · Founder, Female Tradie · 30+ years on the tools
Real women. Their own experiences.
These are individual experiences and are not typical.
"It has blown my mind how much work there is and how easy it is to get the jobs. Now I have this group of amazing women, and I feel really proud to be in this group."
"I started with a short course. Now I have a new business, and I'm moving forward every single day. Penn will positively challenge you to achieve your potential, and you'll have a bunch of fun doing it."
"Penn challenged my patterns and beliefs in ways I didn't expect, and that's exactly why it worked. She didn't just help me grow my business. She helped me rebuild my confidence and self-belief. A game changer I haven't experienced with any other coaching program."
