Stevie Scotten on Law, Motherhood and Defying Expectations

Trial attorney Stevie Scotten joins Cristina Perez for a candid conversation about building a legal career, raising three boys and refusing to let anyone else define what she was capable of becoming.

Stevie shares how growing up in a small Northern California town shaped her ambition, why being told she could not become an attorney only pushed her harder and what ultimately gave her the courage to leave the security of a defense firm and build a career on her own terms.

They also discuss imposter syndrome, the realities of working in a male-dominated profession, returning to work after becoming a mother, the power of women supporting women and why taking the risk is often better than living with regret.

Stevie’s philosophy is simple: trust yourself, do the work and keep kicking ass.
