## Resource

Join Leslie Gaudet and Tina Hughes, immigration attorney, law firm owner, and business coach, for a straight-talking and deeply empowering conversation about what it truly means to build a law firm (and a life) that doesn’t require you to sacrifice one for the other. Tina spent years doing everything herself, feeling the relentless pressure of constant growth and the weight of a business that depended entirely on her. And then she made a bold, deliberate decision to change everything. By implementing strong systems, restructuring her pricing and workflow, and making the identity shift from attorney to CEO, she built a multi-seven-figure firm while working a fraction of the hours she once did. In this episode, Tina opens up about what that strategic shift actually required of her, why so many talented women attorneys struggle to step into their CEO role even when they know it’s necessary, and what gets in the way of women charging what their work is truly worth. You’ll also hear what her life actually looks like now compared to where she was, and what she wants every exhausted, overwhelmed woman in professional practice to know about what’s truly possible. If you’ve been building a successful business but somewhere along the way you’ve lost yourself in it, this conversation is going to remind you that you were never meant to choose between the two. ******************************************************************** Connect with me: https://linktr.ee/herextraordinarylifebydesign leslie@herextraordinarylifebydesign.com ******************************************************************** Monthly Gathering: I've been sitting on an idea for how to create a space where women can finally show up without the filter, without the performance, and without wondering whether being…
