About the show

Grab a cuppa, or go through the coffee drive through, press play and buckle up Tradie business owners! We will cover things in this podcast that don't shy away from the raw honest truth about business. It is hard, it is raw, and we also wanna deliver you all the tips and tricks you need to learn about business too. IN LOVE: How are you trekking in your relationship as a couple in business? Are you respecting each other? Are you finding it hard to toe the line between business and home? Do you squabble like husband and wife like you do at home when you are in 'work mode?' It is not easy to maintain a relationship and business at the same time. But the relationship should be #1 at all costs! Learn how to improve on this. IN LIFE - do you have one or is your business taking over? Many couples need permission to actually have a life. The tradie thinks if he doesn't work he doesn't get paid - but you need some semblance of balance too. So how do you strike it?? First you need to be clear about what you want and how you want your life to look both now and into the future. Otherwise - you can just wander aimlessly with no real plans as to what you want your business to provide.

EP. 57 AI, Business & Better Holidays: How Marcus and Andrew Are Working Smarter, Not Harder

AI is everywhere right now—but most tradies are still asking the same question:“Where the hell do I even start?”In this episode, Kate sits down with long-time Ladies with Tradies clients Marcus (Vivid Coats) and Andrew (Stay Bright Electrical) to unpack how they're using Artificial Intelligence in their businesses—and why it’s become one of the biggest productivity tools they've ever adopted.From writing procedures and solving business problems to handling admin tasks, marketing ideas, customer communication and even acting as a sounding board, both Marcus and Andrew share the practical ways they use AI every day.But this episode goes far deeper than technology.It's also a conversation about business growth, coaching, community, leadership, family life, and why success isn't measured by working 90-hour weeks anymore.If you've been curious about AI but feel intimidated by it, this episode will show you that you don't need to be a tech expert—you just need to be willing to start.Key TakeawayAI isn't replacing tradies—it's helping smart tradies get their time back.The real advantage isn't the technology itself.It's using tools, coaching and community to stop carrying everything in your head, make better decisions faster, and build a business that supports your life—not consumes it.

EP. 56: I Had No Idea How Trade Businesses Worked: Candice’s Journey

This week, Kate is joined by Ladies With Tradies coach — Candice (aka Candy Ray) — for a real and relatable conversation about what it actually looks like to step into the trade world with zero experience… and build confidence from the ground up.Candice’s story isn’t the typical “tradie background.”She spent 17 years working in healthcare before stepping into her husband Murray’s business — Mildura Kitchens & Bathrooms.And like so many tradie wives…She had no idea what she was walking into.No systems.No language.No financial understanding.No roadmap.Just a business that needed help — and a willingness to figure it out.In this episode, Candice and Kate unpack:What it really feels like to be a “fish out of water” in your tradie businessThe identity shift from healthcare professional to tradie wifeWhy systems from corporate/healthcare can transform a trade businessThe moment Candice realised she needed support (and became a client first)How coaching helped her build confidence, clarity and capabilityThe challenge of working with your partner (and communicating effectively)Why tradies get stuck on the “work harder = more money” hamster wheelThe emotional side of business — pressure, overwhelm and mental loadWhat coaching actually looks like (and why it’s not just advice)The power of community and being surrounded by people who “get it”Candice also shares her favourite part of coaching — watching those small but powerful shifts:The exhale.The clarity.The moment things finally make sense.And how those moments turn into bigger outcomes — more confidence, better decisions, and a business that actually supports life outside of work.This episode is a reminder that you don’t need to have it all figured out to get started.You just need to be willing to step in, learn, and back yourself.✨ Key TakeawayYou don’t need to come from the trade world to build a successful trade business.What matters is your willingness to learn, your attitude to growth, and your ability to back yourself — even when you feel like you don’t belong yet.Confidence comes after action, not before.

EP. 55: The Legal Stuff Tradies Ignore (Until It’s Too Late)

This week, Kate is joined by legal expert Helen Kay from Rise Legal — the go-to lawyer for Ladies With Tradies and hundreds of tradie business owners across Australia.And today’s conversation is all about the stuff most tradies put off…👉 Legal.Because let’s be honest — when you’re flat out on the tools, quoting jobs, managing staff and trying to keep cashflow moving, legal feels like something you’ll “get to later.”But as Helen shares — “later” is usually when it’s already too late.In this episode, Kate and Helen unpack the most common legal traps tradie businesses fall into — often without even realising it — and how a few simple steps early on can save you from major stress, lost income, and legal headaches down the track.You’ll hear about:The 5 biggest legal risks tradie businesses face (and why most don’t see them coming)Why “handshake agreements” and informal setups can cost you big timeThe real purpose of terms & conditions (hint: it’s not just paperwork)How to protect yourself from late payments, scope creep, and disputesWhy sending your T&Cs at invoice stage is already too lateWhat happens when subcontractors or clients cut you out of your own workHow poor agreements can destroy business relationships and revenueThe right way to handle deposits, payment terms and cashflow protectionHow to protect your business when working with bigger contractorsWhy AI and copy-paste contracts won’t cut it in the legal worldHelen also shares real-life examples from her work — including:✔ A tradie protected from thousands in damages because their terms were set up properly❌ A business that lost a major client and income stream because they had no agreements in placeAnd one of the biggest reminders from this episode:You don’t need to do everything at once — but you do need to start.Because legal protection isn’t about reacting when things go wrong…It’s about putting the right structure in place so they don’t.✨ Key TakeawayThe biggest legal problems in business don’t come from big mistakes — they come from small things left unprotected.When you’re clear on your structure, your agreements, and your boundaries, you take back control of your time, your money, and your relationships.Stop winging it.Get protected early — and run your business with confidence.Reach out to Helen Kay (Rise Legal) as our trusted advisor: https://links.ladieswithtradies.com/widget/form/kDF5cGo71dqw94rFIeQi  OR check her website: https://riselegal.com.au/helenkay/ THE MONEY JUNKET: A TRADIE COUPLES RETREAT21st to 23rd AUGUST 2026 - BRISBANE QLDGet on the Same Page.

EP. 54: Marcus Luscombe Vivid Coats: Less Is More - How Marcus Reclaimed His Time, Income & Family

PODCAST SUMMARY:This week on Working the Trade, Living the Life, Kate is joined by one of Ladies With Tradies’ longest-standing clients, Marcus Luscombe from Vivid Coats.A painter by trade and community man at heart, Marcus opens up about the season where “more” was the answer to everything — more staff, more hours, more jobs, more pressure.At one point running a team of 10 and working 60–80 hour weeks, Marcus believed that was just the life of a tradie boss. The hustle. The sacrifice. The grind.But what he discovered over the past three and a half years will challenge everything you think you know about growth.By scaling back his team, stepping out of roles that didn’t align with his strengths, and redefining leadership, Marcus built a more profitable business — with fewer staff, less chaos, and more time for his wife and three boys.This episode is about:Less ego.Less noise.Less people-pleasing.And more impact, more income, more presence, and more legacy.This is a story about:Scaling back to move forwardLetting go of roles that drain youReclaiming family timeAnd building a business that supports your life — not consumes itWhat You’ll Hear in This Episode:What Marcus’ business looked like at 10 staff and 80-hour weeksWhy people-pleasing nearly cost him clarity as a leaderThe hard truth about avoiding confrontationHow hiring the right manager changed everythingWhy fewer staff created more profit and stabilityThe shift from “being in the trenches” to true leadershipHow extended family holidays became possibleThe power of community-driven businessWhat “less is more” actually looks like in real lifeIf you think you have to sacrifice family time to run a great trade business — this one might just change your mind.✨ Key TakeawayYou don’t have to sacrifice family time to build a successful trade business.More staff doesn’t equal more profit.More hours doesn’t equal more respect.More chaos doesn’t equal more growth.Sometimes the breakthrough comes from doing less — but doing it better.You can have income and time.You can lead without burning out.And you don’t have to live in the grind forever.

EP. 53 She Was a Tradie Wife First: Donna’s Journey Into Coaching

Podcast SummaryBefore she was a coach… she was a tradie wife.In this episode, Kate sits down with Donna Brown — one of the powerhouse coaches inside Ladies With Tradies — to share the full-circle journey from overwhelmed tradie partner to confident business leader.Donna didn’t start as a coach.She started where so many of you are:Supporting a tradie husband.Juggling cashflow stress.Growing too fast.Hiring staff.Carrying the mental load.Wondering how to help without causing more tension.From running a pressure washing and cleaning business with her husband Clayton, to scaling up, burning out, scaling back, and rebuilding intentionally — Donna shares the raw reality of what it takes to build a profitable trade business without losing your family in the process.This isn’t just a business story.It’s the story of a tradie wife who lived it first — and now coaches others through it.In this episode, Kate and Donna unpack:What it really feels like to be the tradie partner carrying the mental loadThe pressure of trying to “grow” because you think you shouldThe cashflow realities of NDIS and volume-based servicesWhy scaling fast nearly broke the systemHow niching down changed everythingThe dynamic between a visionary tradie and a financially-minded partnerWhy sometimes the bravest move is shrinkingWhat coaching actually is (and why it’s not us telling you what to do)How confidence in the numbers reduces relationship tensionWhy doing the uncomfortable thing (like firing staff) changes everythingDonna also shares what she loves most about coaching — helping tradie couples back themselves, reduce the stress, and finally build a business that supports their life instead of consuming it.This episode is a powerful reminder that:You don’t have to do it alone.You don’t have to grow big to grow well.And sometimes the woman behind the tradie becomes the leader who changes everything.Check out: https://www.ladieswithtradies.com THE MONEY JUNKET: A TRADIE COUPLES RETREAT21st to 23rd AUGUST 2026 - BRISBANE QLDGet on the Same Page.

EP. 52 Wired Different, Not Broken: ADHD, Burnout & Why So Many Tradies Struggle

This week on the podcast, Kate sits down with Kayla from Dopamine & Co, an ADHD coach who truly gets the construction industry — because she’s lived it.With nearly a decade in commercial construction before moving into coaching, Kayla brings a rare mix of lived experience, deep understanding, and straight-talking honesty to a topic that’s still surrounded by stigma: neurodivergence in adults — especially tradies.In this wide-ranging and refreshingly honest conversation, Kate and Kayla unpack why so many people in the trades are unknowingly navigating ADHD, autism, and burnout — and the toll it takes when it goes unrecognised.They dive into emotional dysregulation, rejection sensitivity, masking, task paralysis, and the brutal inner critic that keeps so many tradies stuck in survival mode. You’ll also hear why burnout isn’t “just needing a weekend off”, how neurodivergent burnout hits differently, and what actually helps — beyond medication alone.Most importantly, this episode flips the script. Instead of asking “what’s wrong with me?”, Kayla explains how learning to work with your brain — not against it — can change everything in business, relationships, and life.What You’ll Hear in This EpisodeWhy the trades attract so many neurodivergent peopleEmotional dysregulation and rejection sensitivity explained in real termsThe hidden cost of masking at work — and why it shows up at homeWhat burnout really looks like (and why it can take months to recover)ADHD, task paralysis, and why “just do the thing” doesn’t workWhy forcing yourself into systems that don’t fit creates resentmentStrength-based coaching vs trying to “fix” yourselfMedication, coaching, and lifestyle changes — what actually helpsSimple check-ins to regulate emotions before things explode✨ Key TakeawayYou’re not lazy, broken, or failing — you might just be wired differently. When you stop fighting your brain and start working with it, everything gets easier.Check out Kayla on her website and Instagram:https://dopamineandco.com/homehttps://www.instagram.com/adhdcoachkayla/ THE MONEY JUNKET: A TRADIE COUPLES RETREAT21st to 23rd AUGUST 2026 - BRISBANE QLDGet on the Same Page.

EP. 51: Kate Muldoon and Adam Hopwood: From Doing It All to Leading a High-Performing Team

Today’s episode is a powerful look at what really happens when a tradie finally decides enough is enough and steps into actual leadership.Meet Adam Hopwood, owner of Hopwoods Repairs — a family-run appliance repair business that’s grown from a three-person crew to a full team with technicians, admin support, and an operations manager. But the real story isn’t the growth… it’s the mindset shift that made it possible.When Adam first joined Ladies With Tradies with coach Donna Brown, he was stuck in the classic tradie trap:👉 doing everything himself👉 no time to think or plan👉 stressed, burnt out, and never present at home👉 always putting out fires👉 terrified to delegate because “no one does it as well as I do”Fast-forward to today?Adam leads with confidence, runs consistent team meetings, has built an incredible culture, and has finally stepped out of the day-to-day. His team feels safe to speak up, his systems actually work, and his family gets the best of him — not the burnt-out leftovers.In this conversation, we dive into:✨ The turning point that pushed Adam to reach out✨ What delegation really looks like for a technician-turned-owner✨ How DISC profiling changed his team dynamic✨ Why weekly meetings became the backbone of his business✨ The emotional cost of “survival mode” on tradie families✨ How Adam learned to lead without controlling everything✨ What Penny and the kids have noticed since these changesThis is an inspiring, honest chat about growth, discomfort, and what’s possible when you stop white-knuckling your business and finally let people help.Key TakeawayTrue growth happens when you stop trying to be the hero tradie who does everything — and start becoming the leader your business actually needs.

EP 50: BENDERS, BEERS & BREAKING HABITS: A REAL CHAT ON MENTAL HEALTH WITH NICK BLAIR

In this episode, Kate sits down with Mind Health Bender founder and tradie-turned-mental-health-coach, Nick Blair, for a brutally honest chat about the stuff most people avoid — booze, bags, and breaking bad habits.They dive into how tradies and their partners can take small, realistic steps toward better mental health (without pretending they’ll never touch a drink again). This isn’t about guilt or going cold turkey — it’s about self-awareness, harm minimisation, and finding your own version of balance.If you’ve ever said “I should probably cut back” but don’t know where to start, this episode is your sign to tune in.Episode Show Notes:Kate reconnects with long-time mate Nick Blair, founder of Mind Health Bender — a platform helping everyday Aussies rethink their relationship with drugs, alcohol, and mental health.Nick opens up about his life as an electrician and footy coach, how he went from leading benders to leading conversations about mental health, and why “less can be better” is a more realistic approach than all-or-nothing sobriety.Together, they unpack:How small habit tweaks (like Nick’s “calendar method”) can change everythingWhy traditional addiction advice misses so many peopleHow identity and culture play a massive role in why we drink or useThe truth about socially acceptable drinking (yes, even those “mum wine nights”)Why cutting back — not quitting — can still transform your mental health and relationshipsNick and Kate also get real about how “harm minimisation” can look inside trade families — and why it’s time to have more honest conversations without judgment.Key Takeaways:Cutting back counts. You don’t have to go sober to make progress — any reduction is a win.Self-awareness is key. The real change starts when you ask, “Is this still fun, or is it getting too much?”Habits run deep. Drinking and partying are often tied to identity — that’s why change takes compassion, not shame.Balance looks different for everyone. What’s “too much” for one person might be fine for another — it’s about being honest with yourself.Community matters. Talking about this stuff out loud (without judgment) can be the difference between stuck and steady.About Nick Blair:Nick Blair is the founder of Mind Health Bender, a mental health initiative helping everyday Aussies — especially tradies — build healthier relationships with drugs and alcohol.After years working as an electrician, footy coach, and weekend warrior, Nick hit a turning point that reshaped how he viewed his own habits and mental health. Through his workshops, speaking gigs, and social content, Nick brings raw honesty, humour, and hope to the conversation about balance, mental health, and making change that actually sticks.👉 Follow Nick:Instagram: @‌mindhealthbenderWebsite: mindhealthbender.com.au THE MONEY JUNKET: A TRADIE COUPLES RETREAT21st to 23rd AUGUST 2026 - BRISBANE QLDGet on the Same Page.
