Breaking Barriers! Working in Construction 🚧

Breaking barriers one claim at a time! 💪✨ I originally wanted to be a cop, but after a bad car accident, life redirected me to the construction and insurance industry. Now, as a public adjuster, I fight for homeowners and business owners across Florida, ensuring they get the settlements they deserve. From climbing roofs to negotiating claims, I love what I do! The industry is growing, and I’m so proud to see more women stepping in and dominating this space.

What were your original life plans? Are they still the same, or did life take you in a different direction? I’d love to hear your story! 👇💬 #PublicAdjuster #newtolemon8 Florida #WomenInConstruction #ClaimWarrior #FloridaStrong

... Read moreThe construction industry has traditionally been male-dominated, but recent years have seen a significant increase in female participation. According to the National Association of Women in Construction, women now make up nearly 10% of the construction workforce in the United States. As this shift gains momentum, many women are breaking barriers and redefining roles in fields such as public adjusting, where they ensure fair settlements for clients. This growing representation not only enhances the industry's diversity but also brings fresh perspectives to problem-solving and negotiations. Encouraging more women to enter construction-related fields can lead to a more equitable work environment and inspire other women to pursue their dreams despite challenges. Whether it's through mentorship programs, supportive networks, or simply sharing powerful stories, we can promote the message that women are capable of excelling in all sectors of construction and beyond. Engaging in discussions around gender diversity can help foster an inclusive culture that values contributions from all team members. If you’re considering a career change or a venture into construction or public adjusting, remember that your unique experiences can enrich the industry. Join local forums, workshops, and organizations that promote women's leadership in construction, and let your voice be heard!

breaking the barriers of ADHD paralysis
If you have ADHD, have you ever been so plagued with overwhelm that, although you have so much to do, you just freeze? That likely is an episode of ADHD paralysis. On the outside, you just look still, but on the inside, you’re going non stop, too overwhelmed to move or make your next decision.
