Real Advice from Licensed Builders. Empowering Women in the Trades.

How to Handyma’am is the dream of three passionate women—Samantha Pearl (Licensed Builder), Emily Pearl Reist (Licensed Builder), and Arly Streed—determined to make the skilled trades accessible to all women.

We envision a community of women who are empowered to take care of the daily needs of their lives independently, with confidence and knowledge. Based in Michigan but broadcasting everywhere, we are here to change how you engage with your home.

What We Cover:

• Home Repairs & Renovations: Our primary focus is teaching you how to complete repairs and care for your own home. Whether you are holding a drill for the first time or planning a remodel, we give you the "Licensed Builder" perspective without the mansplaining.

• Contractor Relationships: We share helpful information on how to engage with service providers, how to spot red flags, and who you entrust to enter your home.

• Women in the Trades: We are creating a pathway for women into a career in the trades. We discuss what you choose to do with your career and how to succeed in this industry.

Join us as we build a community where women are safe, smart, and skilled.
