The Legal Profession Can Do Better At Helping New Parents Return To The Office

Having a family and a career shouldn't be this difficult.

JAB90-SOCIAL (LINFBTW) (1)In this episode of The Jabot I speak with Lori Mihalich-Levin, a health care lawyer in private practice at her firm. She is the founder of Mindful Return, a platform that helps parents in planning a radiant, empowered, and smooth return from leave. Lori shares her reason for entering law school and the twists and turns in her career. Being a mother of two was not easy for her, however, she will discuss how it brought her to conceptualize her passion project.

The Jabot podcast is an offshoot of the Above the Law brand focused on the challenges women, people of color, LGBTQIA, and other diverse populations face in the legal industry. Our name comes from none other than the Notorious Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the jabot (decorative collar) she wore when delivering dissents from the bench. It’s a reminder that even when we aren’t winning, we’re still a powerful force to be reckoned with.

Happy listening!
