We finally did it, our first (of many) TradieWives Conference! It was such an amazing time seeing everyone there, after battling through my nerves, it truly was an event that exceeded all my expectations. A heartfelt thank you goes out to the TradieWives team who managed the conference with such drive and motivation.
We thought it would be a great follow up to such an event by bringing our key note speakers onto the podcast for a quick chat on their experience and expertise. This episode is an introduction to our Conference mini podcast series!

Get ready for upcoming episodes that will feature invaluable insights from Leanne of Fortitude at Work, practical tips for social media from Ash, and inspiring stories from Claire Jeans and her husband Brenden about navigating their trade business. As well as outlining the upcoming episodes, I also talk about some behind the scenes snippets of my experience with the conference.

Onward to the TradieWives Conference 2025!

What happens when the high-pressure environment of the trade industry meets the hidden world of addiction? This week, we welcome Amanda Lockyer from Addiction Makes Three to share her incredible transformation from a corporate accountant to a dedicated addiction coach.

Amanda sheds light on the unique challenges that tradies and their families face, including struggles with alcohol, gambling, and even social media and gym habits. She offers invaluable advice on recognising the signs of addiction, supporting loved ones empathetically, and seeking support for yourself.

We also delve into the societal stigma surrounding addiction, especially in Australian culture, and discuss how these misconceptions can prevent people from getting the help they need. Amanda shares her professional insights on living with a "functioning" addict, setting boundaries, and practicing self-care.

Whether you're personally affected by addiction or supporting someone who is, this episode is packed with hope, practical tools, and a reminder that help is available. Don't miss this empowering conversation aimed at uplifting tradie families.
