Built For This with Talia Bronfman and Jessica Green
Built For This is a Canadian podcast about the business of womanhood and what it really takes to build a life. Hosts Talia Bronfman and Jessica Green talk with women about ambition, money, motherhood, work, relationships, identity, grief, resilience and starting over. Guests include founders, executives, creatives, mothers, doctors, therapists and women figuring out what comes next. The show avoids perfect answers and polished success stories in favor of honest conversations about the lives women are actually building.
