The Wildflower Assessment for Women Veterans™ | Know Your Blend

In this introductory video, Shelly Rood—co‑founder of Mission Ambition and former U.S. Army Reserve captain— speaks directly to women veterans. She explains that many women veterans feel unseen because society lacks language to describe their full experience. To address this, she and her team created the Wildflower Assessment for Women Veterans, an experience that does not reduce participants to a military “type” but instead maps each woman’s complete blend of identity, strengths, and values. She urges viewers to read the medical disclaimer included in the accompanying PDF, and provides crisis guidance (call or text 988) for anyone in immediate need. After completing the assessment, participants are invited to visit Mission Wildflower on Substack, where their results are brought to life and a community of women veterans sharing the same language awaits them.
