We recently held a workshop where there was an overwhelming show of hands when we asked if any women felt uncomfortable in the building industry. And at BuildHer, we think that’s just not good enough. Why do we question if we can do it? Why aren’t there more women in the building industry?

In this episode, Rebeka and Kribashini unpack why so many women (including them!) struggle with imposter syndrome, even those who are experts in their field. We talk about some of the stereotypes and mentalities that drive women to think they can’t do it themselves and the misconceptions surrounding what it takes to build, renovate or develop for profit.

Rebeka and Kribashini are never ones to shy away from a challenge and they talk about how they’ve had to push through their own mental barriers and learning curves over and over again. They discuss how you don’t have to be an expert at everything but simply know how to gather the experts to make the project happen.

2021 is kicking off with a bang with loads of events to empower women in the building industry. If you’ve been thinking about building or renovating for profit or looking into development, don’t let those niggling fears and insecurities stop you from taking the plunge.

Head to one of our events this year to surround yourself with people who are doing what you want to do. You’ve got what it takes to go for it if you want to.
