We also talked about authenticity, caring, bicycling, accessibility, safety, political advocacy, and much much more!

Episode 47: Erin Lovette-Colyer

Hi Everyone, and welcome to a new year of episodes of LIFE WORK BALANCES!

Today I had the chance to sit down and chat with Erin Lovette-Colyer, Director of the Women’s Center at the University of San Diego. It was a lot of fun to talk to Erin, and to hear more about how she got to where she is currently! We talked about growing up in Orange County, living in Seattle in the early ninties, music, moving, finding a connection on a campus that is very different than ones home, and the way that life events impact the choices we make in our careers. We also talked about parenting as a feminist, the joy that comes with having work that energizes and empowers us, the shifting nature, the value of sharing space with allies on campus, the benefits of open campus spaces, the complexity of gender-neutral baby names, and how gender impacts the evolving experiences of both children and their parents.
