Her Interview
Ten minutes with Wendy
01What do you attribute your success to?
I would say probably attitude. My dad always said you're so lucky that you're born with where you're born. I also believe that my attitude about my willingness to see the luck and the joy and the opportunity, and to see the glass as half full as much as I could.
02What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Don't think things that feel like they're gonna last forever, don't. If you can hang in there, it's gonna pass. Give yourself permission to walk away when things feel like you can't bear it. My dad said just don't do anything. Go to one more class. And then you can drop out. The relief of the pressure makes everything better.
