In the second episode of our Women in Architecture series, Katerina sits down with architect Bryn Young—ARE coach, entrepreneur, and founder of Mind Over ARE (MOA). Bryn is passionate about guiding the next generation of architects toward licensure and she shares the personal challenges that inspired her to create a community for those struggling with the exams.
Bryn opens up about her own failures with the ARE and how those experiences shaped the foundation of MOA. What began as a candid YouTube video about her struggles with the exams grew into a supportive space for others navigating similar challenges. Over time, Bryn pivoted from running her architecture firm to focusing on helping others through their licensure journey.
She discusses the evolution of her coaching program, the importance of mindset when tackling the exams, and how she’s built a community that holds space for individuals to share their struggles and victories. Bryn emphasizes the balance between studying and maintaining a life outside of the process, while also highlighting the significance of not comparing yourself to others.
Bryn shares the story behind her collaboration with 07 Sketches to create a coloring book designed to make studying fun and playful. This project became a creative partnership she’s proud of, showcasing the power of collaboration within the architecture industry.
Tune in for an inspiring conversation about overcoming failure, the importance of mindset, and the value of community and collaboration in the journey to becoming a licensed architect.
