There are women in your life who changed the trajectory of who you became. Some of them know it. Most of them don't. Some are still in your life. Some aren't. Some shaped you through love, and some shaped you through the very specific education of watching someone get it wrong.


In this episode, Leah Pitzenberger slows down to name the women who made her — the mentor who saw something in her before she could see it herself, the colleague who showed her what she didn't want to become, the friend who stayed when staying cost something. She makes the case that becoming who you are doesn't happen alone. It happens in relationship. And the women who contributed to who you're becoming deserve to be named — at least in your own head, on a random Tuesday, when you realize you're still carrying something they gave you.


This one will make you want to call someone.
