It's a simple show. You've got episode 125. I'm Tishawksin writer, and on this show we break down big ideas, but I've got for you a very special episode because I am dropping in your feed here a recent episode of women's work, my other new podcast that celebrates

creative women who do interesting work. From artists and entrepreneurs to scientists, journalists,

engineers, coders, and beyond, it's your chance to hear the stories of all sorts of women

who make our world a better place. If you like Simple Show, I think you'll love women's work.

So more on this episode in just a second, but first, in case you missed it, I am so excited

to have launched Patreon, where for just a few dollars a month, you can join me in the inner

circle here as we talk behind the scenes.

If you're a fan of my work, becoming a patron there is a small, simple way you can say thanks. And as a way for me to say thank you in return, I am giving you my new series, The World at Home, where World stands for watch, read, listen, and do. And we'll talk about different ways. We can explore the globe right from our own homes with things like films, podcast, books, recipes, and more.

This is one of my favorite things to talk about, and if you enjoyed my book at home in the world,

I think you'll love this new patron-only project as well.

You can find all of this at patreon.com slash tish to learn more and to become a patron at either

the $3 or $7 level. The link is in the show notes of

this episode. Again, that's patreon.com slash tish. That's spelled T-S-H.

Okay, for the special drop of women's work here, I am talking to Bethany Ridmark, who I know

you are going to love. Bethany is an eighth generation Oregonian, currently based in Portland,

actually, and a landscape architect, juggling her work while raising her young kids with her

husband Ted. She loves helping shape the places people live with their families, and you can hear the

passion for her work and her voice. She's also the founder of something called the PDX

Food Swap, which I know you simple show listeners will love. It's a pretty fantastic idea.

I loved talking to Bethany, and I could have kept going for hours. So here it is, my women's work chat with

Bethany Rinnmark. Enjoy. Okay, Bethany, tell me about your work. What does it you do?

So I'm a landscape architect, and the field is very broad, but I tend to focus in residential
