International Women's Day 2025: Letters to Your Younger Self

This International Women’s Day, the Women of Pavilion reflect on the lessons, challenges, and defining moments that shaped their careers. Through letters written to their younger selves, they share the advice they wish they had known earlier—the kind of wisdom that comes from taking risks, facing setbacks, and learning to trust themselves along the way.

Their reflections explore the power of resilience, the importance of mentorship and community, and the realization that confidence isn’t about having all the answers—it’s built by showing up, even when you’re unsure. More than career insights, these letters are reminders that success is about growth, connection, and embracing the journey with courage.

Read their stories below.
