In this episode of Landscapes Unmuted, Divine and Maci explore the concept of success, and redefining it. They discuss the traditional stereotypes of success and the challenges they present to keeping people in the field. The conversation emphasizes the need to redefine success to include personal well-being, work-life balance, and community impact. Then they close out the episode by sharing their definitions of success, celebrating achievements, and sharing their dreams for the future. Remesha Design Lab @design_unmuted The Landscape Nerd @thelandscapenerd Key Themes Redefining success is essential for more diverse perspectives in Landscape Architecture. Exploitation in the industry begins during education, where students are expected to prioritize work over well-being. The narrative of needing decades of experience to be considered good is limiting and harmful. Redefining success involves finding balance and joy. Dream big. Success is a personal journey that evolves.
