In this episode, I am honored to interview Eileen Gould, the first female general contractor in Simi Valley, Thousand Oaks, Westlake Village, even the Greater Los Angeles area! She is quite the trailblazer, and I admire her drive.
Eileen Gould, a general contractor, interior designer, author, mother, and grandmother, shares her experiences of motherhood and building her career simultaneously.
She discusses her pregnancies and deliveries, the joys of being a grandmother, and the challenges and rewards of being a mother. Eileen also talks about her journey as a female general contractor, and the importance of having support in balancing work and family life. She emphasizes the need for flexibility, patience, and open communication in motherhood and shares valuable advice for mothers. Eileen also highlights the importance of planning and having a clear vision when starting construction and design projects.
Her goals for her clients are, "Live more happily, more stylishly, more comfortably and more securely whether it’s in your home or your place of work."
