In this episode of IMPACT: Women in Leadership, host Mary Ann Brown sits down with Carly Mitchell, 2025 Heroines of Washington Co-Chair and Partner at Guidehouse, to explore how leadership, legacy, and service define modern heroism.
As the Heroines of Washington Awards celebrates its 25th year—having honored 166 women and raised nearly $5.5 million for March of Dimes—Carly reflects on how the definition of a “heroine” has evolved and what timeless qualities still unite every woman recognized.
She shares her perspective on balancing professional ambition with purpose-driven community impact, what sets truly transformative leaders apart, and how lasting legacies—like that of Legacy Heroine Jennifer Felix—inspire the next generation of changemakers.
Carly also offers heartfelt advice to women who doubt their ability to make a difference, reminding us that heroism often begins with one small act of service.
