    I hear you. When I was a young girl my parents were too anxious to let us use tools and I don’t want this to happen to any kid. I was lucky enough to find one of these rare boyfriends who teach and explain instead of taking the tools out of their girlfriend’s hands and do the job themselves. With his help I started building my first tiny house when I was 17. One of the items still on my bucket list is organizing DIY workshops for women to boost their confidence around DIY.

      That’s amazing!! You’ve got great skills there, you can be really proud of yourself. Your workshop is a great idea! I’m a domestic abuse outreach worker that’s the kind of session we’d love to do it’s really empowering

        Oh yes, that’s a great and empowering thing to teach to DA victims! No need to suffer abusive a***holes when you are capable of repairing and building your own stuff. Very inspiring, now I know where to preferably offer those sessions!
