Let's talk about being a mom in architecture. Bryn only brushes the surface of the topic in today's episode, but gives her perspective of what it's like being a mom and an architect. Statistics show women tend to disappear in the architecture world around child bearing and child rearing ages and often don't return to the profession. Let's normalize being a mother in this industry and not feel ashamed for wanting to be both a mother and an architect!If you enjoyed this episode, it's inspired you, or you've found value in it please let me know!

It's the end of another year, so what is everyone doing? Setting goals for the new year of course! How many of us set resolutions and end up giving up on them by March? Some of us are lucky to make it past January. So, today Bryn is talking about how to set goals that are actually achievable. She's created a system that has consistently allowed her to achieve goals. The process is slow and steady, yet sustainable. We want to hear from you: do you set goals each year? What type of goals do you make? Do you look at goals as a motivator or can they end up being discouraging for you?
