Q: Tania, tell us a little about yourself beyond your professional life.
Tania:
I was born and raised in Jordan, and I’m a dual citizen. I’m a mother of two, and I actually started motherhood later in life—which I’ve found to be a blessing. My husband and I have been together for over 20 years, and before having children, we lived and traveled extensively across different countries.
I love learning, reading, and exploring self-development, spirituality, and personal growth. I didn’t enjoy reading when I was younger, but law school changed that. Now, books are a big part of my life, and they’ve shaped how I see both business and personal growth.
Q: What inspired you to start your own business after spending time in the corporate and academic space?
Tania:
My journey into entrepreneurship was deeply personal. While studying international business law in London, I had my first child and was able to spend her first 18 months with her. When I later had my son in the U.S., I realized I didn’t want to return to a traditional work structure that would take me away from my children so early on.
My father suggested something life-changing—starting my own law firm. We created a setup where my baby could come to work with me. My father managed operations and marketing, while I focused on legal work. That moment shaped everything for me. Entrepreneurship gave me flexibility, purpose, and alignment with my values as a mother and professional.
Q: Who do you primarily work with today?
Tania:
I work mainly with Florida-based businesses, as I’m licensed as a Florida attorney. My clients range from small businesses to larger construction companies. I support them across the entire business lifecycle—from formation and contracts to litigation, exit strategies, and even mergers and acquisitions.
My approach is collaborative. I want my clients to understand the law—not feel intimidated by it. Education is a big part of my work because informed clients make better decisions and avoid repeating costly mistakes.
Q: What impact do you see your work creating for your clients?
Tania:
The biggest impact is empowerment through understanding. When clients truly understand their rights, obligations, and options, they feel confident instead of overwhelmed. I also speak to them as people first—not just business entities. That human approach builds trust and long-term clarity.
Q: Imposter syndrome is a common topic among entrepreneurs. What’s your perspective on it?
Tania:
I actually think imposter syndrome is completely natural—and even healthy. I still experience it sometimes. It simply means you care about doing a good job.
I strongly disagree with the narrative that says you need to “eliminate” imposter syndrome or procrastination to succeed. That’s unrealistic. These are human traits. The key isn’t changing who you are—it’s learning how to use your personality and emotions to your advantage. Imposter syndrome can either stop you—or push you to grow. The choice lies in how you respond to it.
Q: What challenges have you faced as a woman entrepreneur in the legal industry?
Tania:
The legal field is still very male-dominated. There have been moments—like being mistaken for a court reporter instead of an attorney—that remind you of that reality.
Entrepreneurship itself comes with another set of challenges. There’s no boss, no deadlines imposed by others. Many business owners fall into the trap of doing everything themselves, working excessive hours, and wearing too many hats. Learning to define roles, delegate, and collaborate is crucial for sustainable growth.
Q: Looking back, is there anything you would do differently if you were starting again?
Tania:
Honestly, no. While there were many difficult moments, every experience shaped who I am today. If I changed even one step, I might not have the mindset, family, or clarity I have now. Growth often comes from discomfort, and I’m deeply grateful for those lessons.
Q: What exciting projects are you currently working on?
Tania:
I’m exploring how AI can further support my legal practice. Beyond that, I’m collaborating on a community-based women’s initiative focused on empowering women through education around finances, law, and technology—areas women were historically excluded from.
I truly believe we need more empowered women and more balance between masculine and feminine energies in leadership and business.
Q: What advice would you like to share with aspiring entrepreneurs and community members?
Tania:
First—there is nothing wrong with you. You don’t need fixing. Growth begins with self-awareness and alignment.
Second—set goals. You need to know where you’re going in order to get there.
And finally—don’t compare timelines. Everyone grows at their own pace. Just like children learn to walk at different times, entrepreneurs grow differently too. Stay true to yourself, and don’t give up on your journey.
“Success isn’t about changing who you are—it’s about understanding yourself and building a life and business that aligns with that truth.”
