In the first episode of the Women in Architecture series, Katerina is joined by Shadia Jaramillo, a project architect and co-founder of AIA Florida Northwest Women in Architecture. Their conversation explores how architects can create balance between professional responsibilities and personal well-being.
Shadia shares her journey of career growth, the joy she finds in her work, and why gratitude is such an important daily practice. She opens up about the challenges of setting boundaries, the power of saying no, and how choosing quality over quantity—both in work and volunteering—leads to more meaningful outcomes.
Together, they reflect on the idea that architecture is a profession, not a hobby, and discuss how authenticity and connection shape stronger relationships in the field. This episode is a reminder that self-care and grace are essential for avoiding burnout, and that asking for help is not a weakness but a step toward collective success.
