The July 14%ers Box is officially ON SALE!! 🎉

And fair warning…I only opened 20 new subscriber spots for this one.

Every quarter, I curate these boxes specifically for Women in Construction with products and surprises designed with US in mind first. From the field to the office, the goal is always the same…to help women feel more connected, supported, and seen in this industry.

And yes…the contents are still a surprise. Because that's half the fun! 😏

Once these new spots are gone, they're gone.

You can learn more about the 14%ers and start YOUR subscription at the website: https://www.14percenters.com/

Keep Breaking Ground, Challenging Norms, & Shattering Ceilings!

EP 76 of the Constructive Behaviors Podcast is now available…and it features one of the OG 14%ers subscribers…Shannon Seipel! (Shannon was the January 2026 Member Spotlight.)

We sat down to talk about relationship capital…what it is, how it's built, and why it plays such a big role in the opportunities we get (or don't get).

We also get into:
• The difference between mentors and sponsors
• Why sponsors can change the trajectory of your career
• And how simply showing up, asking questions, and staying curious can open doors you didn't even know existed

THIS is exactly why I created the 14%ers.

There are so many incredible Women in Construction doing amazing work every single day…and the Member Spotlight is one small way to recognize that, share it, and create even more opportunity.

Every single box includes a Member Spotlight…and you could be next! You just have to raise your hand and put yourself in the mix.

Congratulations to Olivia, Autumn, and Brandi! 🎉 Often when I speak at conferences, the organizers will purchase a 14%ers box to give away from the stage. But the NAWIC Nashville chapter purchased multiple boxes for their Tradeswomen of the Year awards and a drawing giveaway.
