If you've listened to the show before, you know that I am all about strong women who are stepping into male-dominated industries and carving a path of their own. If taking up trade work is something that interests you, you aren't alone! 

Welcome back to Ladies Kar Care Talk Show! Today we have a great conversation with auto mechanic and founder of Blue Collar Babes, Emily Lowdermilk. Emily has been working on cars for the past two years and is passionate about not only providing quality service but creating a community of women who are taking the blue-collar industry by storm. We talk about Emily's start in the auto industry, from doing simple tasks around the garage to the first time she got under the hood. 

Listen in as we talk about pushing past your fear, learning from those more experienced than you, and how learning on the job may be your best decision. She talks about the importance of personal growth and how, along with perseverance, she found a garage that was willing to give her real-life experience fixing cars. Emily's passion has taken form in an online community full of Blue Collar Babes who empower and support each other in their pursuit of knowledge and skill and how she plans to expand and create even more resources for women in the future. 

If your dreams have always been a little unconventional for women, then hit play and join us as we talk about changing that narrative.
