Breaking the Concrete Ceiling

Breaking the Concrete Ceiling

Author: Melissa Carter & Jenn Hobby November 11, 2021 Duration: 59:51

When you think of construction sites, rarely do you think of a woman leading the pack of guys in hard hats. But Nancy Keenan is different. She talks with Melissa & Jenn about her experience as an OBIE Award winning builder and licensed real estate agent, and how she balances that with caring for a child through a rare eating disorder.

Melissa Carter and Jenn Hobby host The Friendzy with Melissa Carter & Jenn Hobby, a space built on the kind of honest, meandering, and deeply supportive talks you’d have with your closest friends. This podcast moves beyond superficial chats to explore how our relationships, cultural expectations, and personal growth evolve through every life stage. Each episode feels like pulling up a chair to a candid conversation where no topic is off limits, from navigating career shifts and family dynamics to redefining what fulfillment means as the years add up. The core idea is refreshingly simple yet profound: to reshape how we think and talk about aging, transforming it from a source of anxiety into a reason for genuine celebration. You’ll hear real stories, practical insights, and plenty of laughter that underscores the joy found in authenticity. Tune in for a thoughtful blend of education and personal reflection, all delivered with the warmth and relatability that makes this show feel like an immediate friend. In a world obsessed with youth, this podcast offers a necessary and uplifting counter-narrative, encouraging you to embrace every chapter with curiosity and confidence.
