In this episode of LAWsome, we are discussing one of the most important topics we've ever covered on the podcast: domestic abuse. This issue is much more common than people think, even in high achievers, community leaders, and successful individuals. Co-hosts Tanner Jones and Matt Smyers sit down with the Founder and CEO of Lee Consultants, Amanda Lee, to speak about the responsibility leaders have in creating a safe environment where the topic can be discussed.

Amanda Lee was a trial attorney for 20 years, working in various areas, including organizations and non-profits that dealt with sexual abuse. For over a decade, while she built her career and became the successful woman she is today, she was a victim of domestic abuse. After she left that situation, she realized there was a large gap in not only knowledge but also resources for successful women in her situation. She built Lee Consultants to help others in similar situations.

Amanda shares information and actionable steps to take in helping raise awareness in the workplace, and offers resources to help. Tune in to this episode of LAWsome to learn why domestic abuse can be difficult to notice in legal professionals, how to better understand how you can help successful individuals who may be experiencing it, and how to challenge the narrative and stigmas associated with it.
