Constructing You

The end of an era as the show must go on, but into a completely different realm and dimension, as I’ve had to honour the evolution of myself and my voice, and that means, after much deliberation, letting go of this incredible podcast. 159,000 downloads 322 episodes 175 guests 2 awards 40 countries For quite some time I haven’t been able to plug into the voice that used to lead the show, and the fuel that started the show ran out.

In Reflection - 2023
Constructing You
Every week since I started breaking down my own psyche I send an email to my coach titled in reflection.

info_outlineMarie believes that engineering is one of the most fascinating industries and professions there can be. Whilst the industry has a long way to go, she sees an industry where engineering is accessible to everyone and there is creativity and innovation embedded in professional practice to address society’s needs.
She started her journey decades ago and has had incredible opportunities to advance and to deliver award winning projects and was nominated for the ACSE NSW Female Engineer of the Year in 2021. It wasn’t always a straightforward path finding herself in the industry, but she has found it extremely rewarding.
Because of the world of possibility, she is a keen STEAM enthusiast and through mentoring and speaking events she supports creative engineers to be the best that they can be. She has volunteered with Engineers Australia at various STEM events and careers nights and she has judged with Re-Engineered Australia Foundation for the F1 in Schools competition.
Marie is an Associate Director and shareholder at SDA Structures and leads by creating space to listen and for sharing of ideas. Marie has played on many successful sporting teams and has received numerous player's awards. Her favourite achievement so far is the friendships she has made with people from all over the world.
