We love chatting to our DevelopHer’s about their journeys and asking them to share their stories on this podcast.  It’s inspiring to see what other people are doing and find out what they’ve learned along the way.  Each journey is so different and that’s what makes it so fun!

Today Kribashini catches up with Sonia De Gregorio, one of our Master BuildHer’s and the Creative Director at Gama Homes where her husband, Ricardo, is the Founding Director.  Working together as a dynamic duo, Sonia and Ricardo are kicking goals in their business and loving the flexibility of being their own boss.  How great is it when you love what you do!?

In this episode, Sonia talks about her transition out of her previously demanding full-time job in the financial services industry and what prompted her to take the plunge.  She shares her tips on how to make a transition and why it’s important to weigh up the financial and emotional reasons.

Having a whole other career prior to working in the development industry, Sonia was able to transfer across a range of skills that have complimented Gama Homes and enabled the business to thrive where it was previously lacking.  Bringing a wealth of experience and understanding in processes, organisation and client relationships, Sonia’s role at Gama Homes has made things flow both at work and at home.  Sonia talks about how fun it is to work alongside Ricardo and how her passion for what she does makes it not even feel like work.

There’s so much to learn when it comes to building and there’s nothing like onsite experience to help it all make sense.  Sonia shares about how seeing a project through from beginning to end helps to put all the pieces of the puzzle together and everything comes full circle when you see things in action on site.  Enjoy a cuppa and a bickie with this episode.  It’s a feel-good one!
