Lindsay Cullum-Colwell is a Co-President and Architect at Cullum Homes, where she plays a role in creating thoughtfully designed communities while balancing leadership, motherhood, family, and life outside of work.

In this episode of Mom Built This, Lindsay opens up about what it really means to build a successful career while raising a family and navigating everything life brings along the way. We talk about leadership, motherhood, work-life balance, community, and the importance of recognizing that you can't truly do it all.

Lindsay shares why she believes the smallest details can make the biggest difference, how thoughtful planning can create flexibility, and why learning to adapt when life doesn't go according to plan is just as important as having a plan in the first place.

She also opens up about her experience with cancer and the perspective that came from navigating such a significant season of her life. Rather than defining her story by that experience, Lindsay reflects on how it helped clarify what matters most while continuing to build her career, support her family, and show up for the people and communities around her.

Because success isn't about doing everything perfectly or doing everything yourself. It's about knowing what matters, making intentional choices, accepting the trade-offs, and being willing to adapt when life takes an unexpected turn.

This is a conversation about motherhood, leadership, family, resilience, and building a life that makes room for both ambition and the things that matter most.

Stephanie Nguyen is a mom who brings a thoughtful perspective to one of the questions so many parents quietly wonder about: when our children look back on their childhood, what will they actually remember?

In this episode of Mom Built This, Stephanie opens up about the moments that matter most in motherhood and why they aren't always the big milestones, elaborate experiences, or things we think we need to get right. We talk about motherhood, presence, connection, and the everyday moments that can leave a lasting impression on our children.

Stephanie shares her perspective on what kids really carry with them as they grow up, the importance of being present, and why the seemingly ordinary parts of family life can become some of our children's most meaningful memories. We also talk about letting go of the pressure to be a perfect parent and focusing instead on creating a childhood filled with love, connection, and a sense of security.

Because our kids may not remember every activity, accomplishment, or perfectly planned day. They remember how they felt, the moments they shared with us, and the kind of home we created around them.

This is a conversation about motherhood, presence, connection, and the things our kids actually remember.

Cheyenne Rowell is a mom and a woman who brings a thoughtful perspective to the responsibility of raising children while building a life and career of her own.

In this episode of Mom Built This, Cheyenne opens up about one of the biggest shifts that happens when you become a parent: realizing that your job isn't to keep your children dependent on you, but to help them become capable, confident, successful adults. We talk about motherhood, parenting, independence, and the ways our role as parents evolves as our children grow.

Cheyenne shares her perspective on raising children with the future in mind, letting them develop their own confidence and independence, and recognizing that being a good parent doesn't mean making every decision for your kids. We also explore the lessons parents learn along the way and the importance of preparing our children for a world where they will ultimately have to find their own way.

Because the goal isn't to raise children who always need us. It's to raise adults who know who they are, trust themselves, and know how to navigate the world on their own.

This is a conversation about motherhood, parenting, independence, and what it really means to prepare our kids for adulthood.
