In this powerful episode, Patricia Oholeguy interviews Lea Lamela, a domestic violence survivor who rebuilt her life through skilled trades and became a successful woman electrician and construction consultant.

Lea shares how she went from a women's shelter to founding Sparky Life Solutions, a construction consulting company helping small business owners with leadership, company culture, and retention strategies. Learn why skilled trades offer better ROI than college degrees, how women can break into male-dominated fields, and why soft skills matter more than technical expertise for business growth.

Essential listening for women entrepreneurs, construction professionals, and anyone considering a career change in 2025.
