  • RL 122: Sona Tatiyants — Build the Law Firm You Want to See in the World

    In this episode, I am excited to have on Sona Tatiyants to talk about building and growing her all-female law firm while navigating life changes.

    Sona is the founder of Lynk Law, Inc., a law firm (including an all-female staff of seven) dedicated to servicing families and businesses with their estate planning needs. She is also a co-founder of The Exchange LA and a board member of the Glendale Education Foundation. In addition to an incredibly rewarding career, Sona is most proud of being part of her local community with her husband Alex and their two young daughters, Emily and Elis.

    Topics Covered

    • Creating a practice that you want, and why and how she started her law practice nine years ago after transitioning out of a toxic work environment.
    • Changing gears in your practice - as her life and priorities change so does her practice. She gives us an inside look into what her practice looked like when she started, and what it looks like now.
    • How pursuing her passion has made her a better lawyer, and how she has incorporated baking into her practice of law.

    In this episode, I am excited to have on Rielly Karsh to talk about reframing the conversation around politics and motherhood, and why having more moms in positions of leadership matters.

An elected official in Clinton, NJ, where she lives with her husband and two kids, Rielly is dedicated to increasing the political engagement of moms at every level of the political landscape, helping them "run like a mother."

    Topics Covered

    • Why we need more moms to run for office AND serve in leadership roles on campaigns, and how to deal with the nagging feelings of self-doubt.
    • How the process of running for office starts, and what tools Moms Running offers to women to get more moms to run for office.
    • How we help moms and society see beyond the label "just a mom," and see value in who they are and what they do.
