Taylor Pagniello from The Therapy Space and Hannah Conover from Compass Construction join Manny and Jason the Keystone Contractor today for a jam-packed episode on gender, therapy, and, of course, construction. Opening with an ever topical discussion on the pandemic's effect on people in therapy, we cover issues with emotional avoidance, the forces stopping men from seeking help, and what to do when people confide in you. Jason has a lot to say about emotional regulation and Manny learns that hating being around people might just be a defence mechanism.

After a poignant reminder from Taylor about the rewards of positive thinking, the show switches gears to talk about women in construction. Hannah shares her experience being a woman on job sites and we touch on substance abuse among tradespeople. This show is filled to the brim with advice. Whether you're a tradesperson or you're struggling with mental health problems or addiction, be sure to tune in to this episode of The Construction Life Podcast.
