Finding a Seat at the Table of Men, with Dawn Rohrs

Imagine working in an industry where you’re often the only woman in the room. That’s the reality for Dawn Rohrs, a drilling engineer who’s made her mark in a male-dominated field. In this episode of 'Becoming Wildly Well', hosted by Brandi Lea, Dawn opens up about her journey, the challenges she’s faced, and how she’s turned adversity into strength. Dawn shares some eye-opening stories about discrimination, from being mistaken for the receptionist to having men refuse to shake her hand.

Yet, she doesn’t let these experiences define her. Instead, she uses them as fuel to excel in her career. She talks about the satisfaction of proving her doubters wrong and the support she’s received from male colleagues who respect her expertise. But it’s not just about gender. Dawn also discusses living with ADHD and how she’s harnessed it as a superpower rather than a setback.

Her story is a testament to resilience and personal growth, offering inspiration for anyone feeling outnumbered or underestimated. If you’re looking for a dose of motivation to break barriers and challenge stereotypes, this episode is a must-listen.
