Manage episode 289298545 series 2568097
Rho Thomas is a trademark lawyer at Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton LLP, a financial coach for lawyers, and the mom of two young boys. Rho tells us how she has a vision for her life that includes working as a lawyer, pursuing her side business, and being a present mom. Part of that journey has been creating more financial freedom by tackling the substantial school debt she and her husband accrued in becoming a lawyer and doctor, respectively. It has also meant setting boundaries at work and holding to them. Rho’s story is a great example of what it looks like to be purposeful and committed to creating the life you want.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Rho enjoys practicing trademark law, but it isn’t her sole priority
- Rho moved to a reduced hour schedule when she became a mom
- She wanted to work even fewer hours, but had to balance the finances first
- The school debt between her and her doctor husband was significant
- The vision of the life they want has kept them motivated to pay it down
- She found examples of people doing this, which proved to her that it’s possible
- Rho started a blog about their debt journey, which has evolved into her starting her own financial coaching business
- The side business organically grew out of her natural interests
- Rho has been successful at setting boundaries at work so she doesn’t burn out
- The pandemic has shown her she can slow down, have her business, be a mom, and still practice
