There is more to social media than just mindless scrolling and Instagram rabbit holes.  In fact, Jaime Santos and Kendyl Hanks have managed to create a forum celebrating women in the law, highlighting their war stories, and occasionally outing stupid sexist stuff under the Twitter account @LadyLawyerDiary 

Kendyl is an appellate advocate, who litigates high-stakes business litigation and test cases involving contract disputes, fraud, fiduciary duty, alter ego, constitutional law, to name a few.

Jaime A. Santos is an appellate litigation associate where works on cases in the U.S. Supreme Court and federal appellate and trial courts, on a wide range of cases. She has helped to spearhead sexual harassment reforms within the federal judiciary and has testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee regarding these issues. 

Jaime and Kendyl share:

• How the idea for the account @LadyLawyerDiary came about, their main goal and purpose for the forum,
• Changes and impact made by the forum in the community,
• Why they chose Twitter as opposed to other social media platforms,
• And interesting stories from account users.

A huge thank you goes to our two show sponsors:

Is it time to rethink success? Maybe you dream of buying a big house or you want to travel all over the world. Maybe you want to work fewer hours each week or you want to spend more time with your family. Lawyers have so many aspirations but for some reason, we tend to think that there is only one way to achieve those dreams – work ridiculously hard for many years and then eventually, acquire everything you want. Well, it’s time to get creative and smart with how we make our money and how we craft our dream lives.

If that’s what you want, then it’s time to opt out.

Joining me on the show today to explain what opting out means is attorney, entrepreneur, law professor, and LinkedIn Learning educator, Dana Robinson. Dana shares his proposal for a new way of achieving success and wealth which rely on three income pillars:

• Establishing a side gig
• Owning a business
• Investing in real estate

You are going to be moved by my guest today, Jennifer Hoverstad. Her story will make you reconsider your priorities and will force you to reevaluate where and with whom you’re spending your time.

Jen is a lawyer, speaker, and breast cancer survivor. In 2018, she was diagnosed with breast cancer and her life changed for ever! She was courageous enough to share her treatment journey on social media and through her blog. Jen's authenticity and openness with her treatment journey broke down the fear and anxiety often associated with cancer and allowed her to connect with other women who were going through similar journeys.

Seeing that it’s the beginning of a brand new year, assuming you’re listening to this right when it airs, I thought it would be perfect to talk about clarifying our vision, laying down some goals, and fiercely chasing after them. Whether you already set your intentions for the year or you’re just now getting around to thinking about the year ahead, it’s never too late to learn how to properly align your goals for the year with your vision for your life and career. If you’re thinking of adding a new practice area, transitioning to a new job, or leaving the law all together, you’ll find the courage and the action plan in this episode.

Joining me to help us do just that is attorney, speaker, author, and personal and professional development strategic coach, Heather Hubbard.

Highlights from the Conversation:

• Start with your vision of what you want in life (and you can DREAM BIG here!)
• What if you can’t formulate your vision because it’s too scary or overwhelming? What do you do then?
• Once you’ve locked down your vision, you have to ask yourself: where am I now and where do I want to be?
• After setting your strategy, you then begin to lay down some goals to support the strategy
• What should you use to measure your progress and determine if you’re even moving in the right direction?
• When you finally reach your goal(s), you should celebrate! So should you pop bottles, buy new clothes, or celebrate with others?
