Acerca de HerJourney Podcast

Welcome to HerJourney, the podcast that shines a light on women transforming the face of manufacturing and skilled trades in Canada. Hosted by award-winning broadcaster Erin Davis, each episode shares real stories of courage, craftsmanship, and career growth from women building, leading, and innovating across the manufacturing sector. Presented by Excellence in Manufacturing Consortium (EMC) — Canada’s largest manufacturing network — and produced by Memory Tree Productions, HerJourney goes beyond the shop floor to explore what it takes to thrive in industries where women have long been underrepresented. Through open, insightful conversations with tradeswomen, mentors, and industry leaders, the series uncovers how confidence, mentorship, and inclusion are shaping a stronger, more sustainable future for Canadian manufacturing. Whether you’re already in the trades, considering a career in manufacturing, or simply inspired by stories of resilience and reinvention, HerJourney offers a fresh, empowering perspective on what it means to build a future with your own hands.

Crafting a New Path

Jackie Toner’s leap from academia to woodturning and entrepreneurship began as a creative escape and became a full-time career. As the founder of Woods Woman Woodworking, she designs and crafts handmade kitchenware and art pieces while mentoring young women entering the trades. In this episode, Jackie talks about turning uncertainty into opportunity, building a business from scratch, and leading a shop that values creativity and inclusion as much as craftsmanship. Her story highlights the rise of women in small-scale manufacturing, mental wellness in trades, and how passion can evolve into purpose.

Empowering Woman in STEM

Anna Rosina is part of a new generation redefining what it means to work in skilled trades and manufacturing. As a machinist in training at Conestoga College and FBT Machine Shop in St. Catharines, she’s already mastering the precision work of 5-axis CNC machining — cutting components to tolerances finer than a human hair. Her journey began with high school robotics, where early exposure to hands-on problem-solving sparked a lifelong love for engineering and technical design. In this episode, Anna opens up about finding confidence as one of only a few women in her program, the power of mentorship, and her goal to one day teach the next generation of women in trades. From the classroom to the shop floor, her story highlights the growing presence of women in machining, the importance of precision and patience, and how early education and outreach can shape the future of Canada’s manufacturing industry.

Shifting the Blueprint

Carrie O'Donnell’s story is proof that it’s never too late to start over. After decades in automotive manufacturing, she entered the skilled trades at 45 and became a Red Seal plumber by 49. Today, she works at the Stellantis Windsor Assembly Plant, one of the few women among 500 tradespeople keeping Canada’s auto industry running. In this episode, Carrie reflects on changing the perception of manufacturing and plumbing careers, building confidence in male-dominated spaces, and mentoring women entering the trades. Her story is grounded in courage, perseverance, and a belief that visibility is the first step toward inclusion.
