From Biglaw Impostor Syndrome to Publishing Diverse Children's Books with Tiffany Obeng
Jul 28, 2025 Episode 278
Sarah Cottrell

You're successful on paper but can't shake the feeling you haven't really "made it" without a prestigious law firm on your resume. Tiffany Obeng lived with that impostor syndrome for over a decade before finally getting her shot at Biglaw in 2023. 

Nine months later, she was back out. 

In this episode, Tiffany shares what she learned during those nine months that changed everything about how she views success, plus how she's built a children's book publishing company focused on diverse representation while working full-time in employment consulting. 

If you've ever wondered whether the grass is really greener at a prestigious firm, this episode is for you.
