Build Your Own Legacy: A Women’s History Month Call to Action

About this episode

Wendy Wollner reflects on the importance of building a personal roster of women leaders in honor of Women’s History Month.

In this special Women’s History Month episode of *This Is Your Job Now*, Wendy Wollner invites listeners into a deeply personal and powerful reflection. Rather than naming specific historical figures, Wendy challenges you to build your own roster of women leaders—CEOs, doctors, activists, artists, grandmothers, single moms—who shape how you show up in the world. From corporate boardrooms to motherhood to volunteerism, Wendy shares why women need multiple mentors for multiple roles—and why we must carry each other forward across generations. This episode is both a celebration and a call to action: pick your women. Learn from them. Add to your list. And then become one.
