230. Building Planes, Building Futures: A New Era of Girls in Aviation Takes Flight with Beth White & Zoë Brosky

Feeling stuck—or hungry for a community that builds things? In this episode, we visit Beth White’s Habitat for Aviation in Vermont—home of Women Build Planes—where an airplane hangar creates life-long skills, mentors, and belonging. This life-changing organization delivers a welcome roadmap that anyone can use to reignite purpose, start or join a project with zero experience, open doors for teens, and turn setbacks into community wins. Even if aviation isn’t your thing, the model for living with purpose that we celebrate today is for everyone.Chapters00:00 – Intro & Welcome05:03 – Finding inspiration from aviatrix Beryl Markham12:17 – A battle with cancer becomes a new mission22:29 – Break24:47 – Zoë’s story: growing up around aviation29:26 – Inside the pink hangar: women and girls building a real airplane39:24 – About Habitat for Aviation45:52 – The vision for a world-class aviation center59:20 – Lessons on courage, gratitude, and finding what you’re built to do1:11:05 – Closing
