      On the final episode of 2024, host Lisa Laronde revisits some of her favourite conversations from the inaugural year of The Powerhouse Project Podcast, celebrating bold moves, big wins, and the unstoppable drive of women change-makers. As we wrap up an incredible year, today’s episode is packed with highlights, expert advice, and practical takeaways as you step into the new year. A recurring theme on the podcast has been how women navigate the delicate balance of work, personal, and social lives, especially after having children. Robyn Patk, VP P&G Canada Sales, brought a fresh and empowering perspective on how you can truly have it all. Ironworker and Spokesperson Jamie McMillian and Lisa discuss human rights complaints from women in construction related to harassment or discrimination. Jamie offers her valuable insights on the persistent issue of harassment within the industry. We can't forget about our incredible male allies who are making a real difference in the construction industry. Adam Gaiser, Vice-President, Mark’s Commercial has been using his influence to help pave the way for a more inclusive future in construction. 11-time National Champion and Two-Time Canadian Olympic boxer Mandy Bujold shared her inspiring story of one of the most important fights she ever waged in the battle for gender equality in sports. Meg Mathes, Skilled Trades Leader bravely shared her story of transitioning while working in the construction industry, sharing our hope to see more transgender women represented in the construction industry. Tanya LaBuick, Labuick, and Co., gave us a crash course in authenticity and being unapologetically yourself. Sometimes, we all need that reminder to let go of what others think and stay true to who we are. Lisa shares her gratitude to this year's incredible guests and listeners with a powerful message to women in any industry: I encourage you to continue blazing your own trails, shattering glass ceilings, and banding together to uplift one another, both in and outside of our fields. Happy holidays, thank you so much for being a part of this journey! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
