Modern society loves the concept of ‘saving time' – but at what cost? There's nothing wrong with streamlining and efficiency, but today Meagan and Sarah push back against the notion that time-saving strategies – and products – unilaterally bring more calm to our days. Instead we look at ways to think about shifting time to our advantage, batching tasks and opting out to free up schedule space, simplifying rather than optimizing, and finding our own peace with our relationship to time.This is Part 2 of a three-part series about Time running this spring.

Some days we're the “Sure, why not?” mom, and other days we're the “Because I said so” mom - and often we lean more into one side than the other. Meagan and Sarah unpack what the Yes Mom / No Mom binary really means, the why behind our wiring, how it affects our kids, and how it's not always so black and white. We look at the balance between freedom and structure, and remind you there are many ways to be yourself and be a great mom at the same time.

In this episode, we're unpacking the UK Supreme Court's ruling that defines “woman” based on biological sex and why that's deeply harmful to the trans community. We'll explore how this decision erases trans identities, threatens legal protections, and reverses hard-won progress. We'll share my thoughts on why trans rights are human rights, and why true equality means standing with our trans siblings. Finally, we'll talk about how to show up in the workplace, from respecting pronouns to challenging transphobia and creating inclusive spaces. This isn't just about policy, it's about people.

Raising creative kids isn't just about paintbrushes and piano lessons—it's also about noticing how they think, solve problems, and dream up deas. Both Meagan and Sarah come from creative backgrounds and hope to raise creative kids, but we've learned that creativity shows up in unexpected places—from storytelling and party planning to building weird contraptions out of couch cushions. We share what's worked in our own families, where we've had to shift our thinking, and some of the misconceptions we've had about what being “creative” really means.

How can radical transparency redefine leadership in architecture?In this episode of Practice Disrupted, Evelyn Lee reconnects with Robert Yuen, CEO and co-founder of Monograph, to explore what he calls radical transparency - a bold leadership approach that challenges firm owners to rethink how they share information, build trust, and lead with clarity. Drawing on his experience building a tech company tailored for architecture firms, Robert brings a refreshingly candid perspective on money, management, and culture in practice.The conversation dives into why many firm leaders are hesitant to talk about financial performance, pay, and project metrics—and how that fear contributes to stress, misalignment, and missed opportunities. Robert makes the case that leaders can (and should) develop cultures of openness, where accountability is shared, and trust becomes a competitive advantage. From pay equity to overtime, profit sharing to performance metrics, he explains why transparency isn't just good ethics—it's good business.Together, Evelyn and Robert also explore what defines effective leadership today. They contrast outdated models centered on authority and control with modern approaches rooted in empathy, delegation, and adaptability. Robert shares how Monograph is using AI to reduce time spent on repetitive tasks and empower architects to better manage their work—and their businesses.“I believe that if you're not transparent about how the business is doing, you're putting all the pressure on yourself as a leader—and you're missing the opportunity to engage your team in solving problems with you. When people understand how their work affects the bottom line, they show up differently. They become invested.” – Robert YuenThe episode concludes with reflections on mentorship, emotional intelligence, and building teams for life, not just for business. Robert offers advice for young professionals seeking growth in firms that align with their values, and challenges current leaders to examine whether their culture fosters retention, or simply clings to control.Guest: Robert Yuen is the CEO and co-founder of Monograph, a project management and practice operations platform built specifically for architects. Trained as an architect himself, Robert has become a leading voice in the profession for bringing data, transparency, and business strategy into practice. His work at Monograph empowers firms to better understand their performance, improve workflows, and embrace the tools and mindsets needed for long-term success.Is This Episode for You?This episode is for you if: ✅ You're a firm leader rethinking how you run your practice ✅ You're tired of running projects and teams on “gut feel” alone ✅ You're interested in building a more open, financially literate culture ✅ You want to explore how AI and data can support better leadershipWhat have you done to take action lately?

Let's talk travel habits! How do you settle into a rental property? Do you unpack in a hotel room? Are you a fan of rental cars, or do you rely on ride-sharing apps?

Send us a textTwo years ago, after starting the most secure relationship Kate had ever had, she noticed anxiety about being enough or too much. Her system wasn't used to consistency, kindness and support, and her body wasn't sure it could trust it.Kate was often worried Ben would leave for someone “more attractive”.
