The Resilient Architect

A free, burnout resilience newsletter for Architects. One actionable tactic each week to help you overcome chronic burnout, engineer self-awareness, and build a thriving career in architecture.

The Resilient Architect is written by me, Mike LaValley, AIA, LEED AP BD+C.

I'm a licensed Architect with over 15 years of experience, and along the way, I transformed my own experience of professional burnout into a blueprint for resilience.

I started this newsletter because, in 2017, I burned out completely. What began as a personal recovery journey has grown into a mission to help Architects reclaim their time, energy, and passion.

Now, I'm sharing everything I've learned about building a sustainable architectural career while balancing a fulfilling personal life.
