Beating Breast Cancer to Building Dream Homes

Level Up with Duayne Pearce

When faced with the towering frameworks of the construction industry and the shadow of breast cancer, one woman, Tarah from Activates Construction, stands tall with a hammer in one hand and hope in the other. She's not only shattered the glass ceiling to win the Queensland Master Builders Women in Construction Award for 2023, but she's also constructed a sanctuary of strength and inspiration for many. Join us as we unravel Tarah's journey, where she crafts not just buildings, but a legacy, intertwining the resilience of overcoming personal health battles with the grit of leading a booming family business.
Tarah's story is a blueprint for breaking norms—her hands, once held down by cancer's weight, now lift others as her company supports breast cancer research with every property sold. We trek through her and her husband's business evolution, from small-scale renovations to a full-fledged development enterprise, all while cementing a brand that wears pink with pride. Tarah's personal touch in home design speaks volumes about the importance of a woman's perspective in an industry often dominated by men. Her voice is a clarion call for young women to pick up the tools and blueprints, to build not only structures but also their dreams in construction.
As Tarah deftly navigates the scaffolds of property development, she shares insights on risk management and the significance of financial prudence—a testament to her calculated courage. The foundation of her success? A robust team dynamic and an unwavering positive attitude that turns every challenge into a stepping stone. This episode isn't just about the framework of buildings; it's about constructing a mindset of resilience and respect that transcends industries. So, tune in and let Tarah's story lay the cornerstone for your own journey of growth and triumph.
