Prohibitions versus Inhibitions with Tricia Kagerer

Do you know that only 10% of the whole construction industry today is made up of women and only 3½% are working in the field? It has always been considered as an industry that is male-dominated and not women's work, and that leads women to have limiting beliefs that hinder them from reaching their fullest potential.

Do you want to change that voice in your head that is just so persistent on telling you you can’t do things? Do you want to be clear on what you want so that you can be courageous enough to move towards a life of your own terms? Have you always wanted to live a life that doesn’t look like anybody else’s? Do you want your limiting beliefs to transform into empowering ones?

It is through being in motion towards what you want to accomplish in your life that you get to better show up in the world! We only get to live once. Start the change with what you are telling yourself.
