🔨 What inspired you to get into construction/your trade?

I’ve always been drawn to hands-on work and building things from the ground up. I grew up on an active equine and dairy farm, loving animals, the outdoors, and working hard, so trades and farming just felt natural. I love being able to create something real — whether that’s training or helping animals, fixing equipment, or building a space where people can learn and grow.

💛 What’s one thing you love about your job?

I love the freedom and purpose it gives me. Every day is different, and I get to work with animals, teach humans, grow with kids and create opportunities for people to feel confident and connected. There’s something really fulfilling about seeing the direct result of your hard work and I LOVE IT!

⚡ What’s a common misconception about tradeswomen that you wish people understood?

That strength and femininity can’t coexist. Women in trades or agriculture are often underestimated.. Being capable, tough, and knowledgeable doesn’t take away from being soft, creative, or feminine. We can be both and we are both.

📸 How did it feel to step into a bold, fun side of yourself for the shoot?

Honestly, it felt empowering. As women and mom in physically demanding jobs, we’re often in work mode — dirty boots, long days, always pushing forward. It felt good to pause and embrace that fire side of myself that’s playful, confident, and expressive.

🌸 How do you balance the strength of your trade with embracing your femininity?

To me, they go hand in hand. My strength comes from knowing who I am and what I’m capable of. I can work hard, handle tough situations, and still love feeling beautiful, creative, and feminine. One doesn’t cancel out the other.

🔥 What makes you feel the most powerful—on and off the job?

On the job, it’s overcoming challenges and proving to myself that I can figure things out. Off the job, it’s building the life I’ve always wanted — creating something meaningful for my family, my animals, and my community. I feel magic, and that makes me feel powerful.

🛠️ What advice would you give to women entering male-dominated industries?

Don’t shrink yourself to make other people comfortable. You don’t need to prove you belong — you already do. Learn everything you can. Take what resonates, leave what does not. Trust yourself, and remember that confidence comes from doing, not waiting until you feel ready.

🎶 What’s your go-to hype song or confidence boost?

My hype song is Remember The Name by Fort Minor.
My confidence boost is reminding myself how far I’ve already come. When life gets hard, I think about everything I’ve built through grit and determination, that’s what fires me up!

💌 If you could give your younger self one piece of advice, what would it be?

Trust your gut sooner. Stop doubting yourself and worrying about what people think. The things that make you different are going to be the same things that make you successful. Everything is perception.

✨ What’s one fun fact about you that people might not expect?

A lot of people might not expect that behind all the farm work and tough days, I’m also deeply creative — I love Art & creating projects, painting, drawing, crafting anddddd I’m Clairaudient.

🌟 SheWorks Feature: Miss September – Sadie! 🌟

(Yes, this one’s a little late — life has been busy and we’ve been caught up, but we couldn’t miss celebrating this powerhouse 💕).

Sadie is a woman who wears many hats — Pipefitter by trade and hairstylist by passion. From tricky rigging jobs in the oilfield to flawless transformations behind the chair, she’s redefining what it looks like to be bold, skilled, and confident.

Q&A

Q: What inspired you to get into construction/your trade?
👉 “To be completely honest, I was never inspired by anything other than building up my bank account when I got into Pipefitting. Coming into the oilfield from being a hairstylist with no construction knowledge was very intimidating. Initially I didn’t think I’d stick around long but I ended up loving the work and wanted to continue to learn.”

Q: What’s one thing you love about your job?
👉 “I love the diversity of my trade. There is so much learning and evolving. Overcoming challenges and problem solving is so fulfilling for me. Out of it all, I’d say tricky rigging jobs are my favourite tasks.”

Q: What’s a common misconception about tradeswomen that you wish people understood?
👉 “There are definitely a few misconceptions about women in the trades. A big one would be when a woman joins a new crew there tends to be automatic assumptions that they may not know as much or be as capable as the men.”

Q: How did it feel to step into a bold, fun side of yourself for the shoot?
👉 “I was actually really nervous about the photoshoot because I’ve never been photographed like that before, but as soon as we started I felt like a sexy bad ass! It was so awesome having all these amazing women around cheering each other on. It was a great day full of laughs.”

Q: How do you balance the strength of your trade with embracing your femininity?
👉 “Balancing my femininity with my trade comes easy. Femininity to me isn’t just ‘dressing up’ or ‘doing hair’ — it’s simply being confident in whatever I do and how I do it.”

Q: What makes you feel the most powerful—on and off the job?
👉 “I feel most in my power at work when I’m in my groove with the task. Good flow and good efficiency makes me feel on top! Outside work, I’m most empowered when I am doing something I love, like travelling, snowboarding or accomplishing goals.”

Q: What advice would you give to women entering male-dominated industries?
👉 “Learn as much as possible, work hard and voice your opinion. Respect and a good reputation will follow.”

Q: What’s your go-to hype song or confidence boost?
👉 “There’s too many! Savage – by Whethan is a banger though.”

Q: If you could give your younger self one piece of advice, what would it be?

Q: What’s one fun fact about you that people might not expect?
👉 “I’m actually a low key adrenaline ju**ie. Especially when I travel, I’m usually trying to find different ways to get my heart pumping!”

✨ Sadie is proof that tradeswomen don’t have to choose between strength and style — you can run pipe one day and create flawless hair transformations the next. She’s bold, confident, and unapologetically herself.
