Welcome to “Land Use Planning for Women Planners,” the podcast empowering women working in land use planning!

Hi, I’m Kris Valdez, an AICP land use planner with over 27 years of experience in project management and mentoring within the land use profession. My goal with this podcast is to help you move from feeling overwhelmed and stressed out with the demands of land use planning to cultivating a sense of contentment in every area of your life.

In each episode, I address the real challenges you face—navigating work-life balance without burning out, transitioning to new roles, taking on greater responsibilities, and managing difficult situations both at work and at home.

Join me as I share effective systems, inspiring stories, practical tips, and expert insights to help you thrive in your career while prioritizing your well-being. Whether you’re a seasoned planner or just starting out, this podcast serves as your essential resource for support and growth in the ever-evolving field of land use planning.
