Ashley Beeby loves writing and literature and excelled at school. So, it was a big surprise to her friends and family when she decided not to become a doctor or lawyer, but to take the path of a trailblazing lady tradie.

As she shows Aimee how these skills have transferred to doing home DIY, they chat about how entering the trades is still unusual for women, but how fulfilling it can be.
