E103 – Chelsea Husum: An Unconventional Journey to Leadership in Construction
Join Tina Paulus-Krause in exploring the remarkable journey of Chelsea Husum, a trailblazing female leader in the construction industry. Chelsea shares her unconventional career path, starting with degrees in Spanish and broadcast journalism, leading to an unexpected transition from a high school Spanish teacher to an office manager in a construction company.
Hear about the emotional toll and challenges she faced entering a male-dominated field, and how she successfully started her own construction company in March 2020. Chelsea's remarkable story highlights the dynamics of female leadership in construction and the significance of authenticity and hard work in achieving success.
This episode isn't just about breaking barriers; it's about the power of vulnerability and healing. Chelsea explores how sharing deeply personal experiences, like a traumatic event in South America and a grueling lawsuit, helped her reclaim her personal power – guiding her to share her story through accidental authorship.
Additionally, she opens up about the liberating process of seeking therapy, eliminating negative habits, and embracing self-care. Learn about her personal routines for maintaining balance and the profound impact of storytelling in fostering connections and self-acceptance. Chelsea’s journey is a powerful testament to resilience and the transformative power of authentically sharing our truths.
“Somebody needs to hear your story.” – Chelsea Husum
