What Penny Does
Penny Petridis, founder of The Female Tradie, helps women build their next chapter.
Through her VIP Container and Get Handy Workshops, she guides women ready to create a new identity — one that feels purposeful, independent, and alive again.
Whether that means starting a handywoman or maintenance business, bringing a lifestyle or property project to life, or finally acting on the dream that’s been sitting in your notebook — Penny gives you the structure, clarity, and tools to make it real.
Who she works with
She works with women 40 and beyond who’ve spent years raising families, running businesses, or supporting everyone else—and are now ready to do something for themselves.
Her clients are practical, capable women with drive, means, and readiness to act.
They’re done talking about change and ready to create it—on their land, in their business, or within themselves.
How she helps
Penny combines decades of trade experience with straight-talk mentoring and community.
Inside her VIP Container, she helps you design and build the next version of your life or business—with clear strategy, accountability, and honest feedback.
Through her Get Handy Workshops, she teaches real-world tool skills and project confidence, giving women the independence to create, fix, and build without waiting for permission.
Problems she solves
Many women reach a point where what once fit—the career, the routine, the identity—no longer does.
They know they’re capable of more but don’t know where to start, or how to pull all the ideas together.
Penny helps bridge that gap. She gives women the direction, community, and practical framework to stop overthinking and start building—whether that’s a business, a shed, or a completely new version of themselves.
If you’ve got the drive, the resources, and the deep-down knowing that it’s time —this is your moment to build what’s next.
Book a call to explore the VIP Container or Join a Get Handy Workshop to start building with your own hands.
