32 Years in Law: Then She Chose Herself
“What does your ideal day look like?”
It was the first time that Hillary Sobel had ever been asked that question.
32 years of feeling unseen, undervalued and “unallowed” to want anything else.
22 years of knowing that law was not for her.
Then in the space of 10 seconds, her world shifted on its axis.
In this episode, WILL Alum Hillary Sobel talks about her life transformation from 32-years as a lawyer to seeing her face on a Times Square Billboard.
We discuss openly:
- Why it’s NEVER too late to change careers (and what keeps women lawyers trapped).
- Why investing in yourself isn’t indulgent; it’s transformational
- How mindset work becomes the foundation for real reinvention
Hilary shares her fear, skepticism, identity shifts, and eventual success when she began to live her ‘ideal day’.
About Hillary
Hillary began her career in law, grounded in an understanding of business and Corporate America from family entrepreneurs. Her practice focused on corporate-related litigation including securities and antitrust.
After successfully practicing law, Hillary refocused her attention on advising growing, mostly women-founded, businesses. Through her consulting business, Minerva Turning Point Strategies, Hillary combines strategic thinking and curiosity to identify new pathways to growth. She has been published in Forbes Women on the intersection of profits and people, and in Medium on opening hard conversations to expand our understanding of each other.
Hillary’s passion for storytelling and advocacy finds an outlet in speaking and writing. From her Substack, “The Cowgirl, The Shark, and Stilettos” (and other upcoming publications including a chapter in an anthology and her memoir), Hillary connects current and historical events to the stories of our daily lives.
