In this episode, Kristin talks with Josie (she/her), a project engineer in the construction industry who helps manage the building of massive projects like hospitals and data centers. Josie shares how she found her way into construction after starting in civil engineering and realizing she wanted something more hands-on, practical, and people-centered. She reflects on choosing an unconventional path to college, leaving New Jersey for the University of Wyoming, and the sweet story of her dad moving nearby to support her while still giving her space to grow.

Together, Kristin and Josie talk about confidence, credibility, and what it means to put your foot down as a young woman in a male-dominated field. Josie offers thoughtful insight into learning to trust your voice, speak with authority, and accept that not everything that looks good on paper actually works in real life. Funny, grounded, and quietly wise, this episode is a conversation about building a career, and a life, that actually fits.
