12. Living Each Day with Simple Courage with Heather Hubbard
Mom Life and Law
12/22/20 • 36 min
Heather Hubbard lives each day with simple courage. She has a message that provides clarity and guidance that we all can apply: do something each day that is courageous, no matter how small. That practice will change your life.
Heather was a litigator, partner, and practice group leader who achieved great success in her legal career. She then left the practice of law to start her own company, focusing on helping women lawyers and other professionals achieve success in their own careers. You may know her from her wildly successful events and former podcast, Hustle and Flow with Heather Hubbard. She was an in-demand and highly sought after thought leader and professional development advisor. And, in the midst of a global pandemic, she made another bold career change. She's closing her former company to start a new one called, Simple Courage.
Heather speaks about how simple courage is a message and a movement. She found that when she stopped playing the role others expected of her and quit trying to please everyone else, her life and career became fuller, richer, and more peaceful.
Her guidance and wisdom have changed my life and career for the better. She lives as an example of someone who boldly follows her heart and her dreams. She encouraged me and countless others to go for our dreams. She wants to help all of us become the bravest, boldest, truest versions of ourselves. Her new company launches in January 2021.

As a litigator, she saw a pain point in state court litigation. She wanted to be able to access and search state court data. She was often frustrated by sending internal emails and collecting anecdotes on judges in order to make strategic case recommendations.
