Wonder Woman in Business, Susan Frankel

Susan Frankel, Esq.

Susan E. Frankel, Esq. is an attorney whose career spans over 25 years in law and management, with surprising twists and turns that required her to pivot on more than one occasion.  A consummate planner in her younger years, Susan pushed out of her comfort zone to reinvent herself, learning that the old saying “Man (woman) plans, God laughs” are words to live by.  She is passionate about supporting and guiding other women both professionally and personally, especially those in midlife confronting the inevitable changes in their physical and mental well-being.  She is proud to be a speaker and author on the topic, including a chapter in an upcoming anthology for empowering women.

Susan is currently Associate General Counsel at Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla, New York.  She earned her law degree from the University of Pennsylvania Law School and has a Masters of Law in Health Law from Loyola University Chicago.  Susan is the proud mother of two beautiful young women, and she and her husband live in Warwick, New York with their beloved pitbull rescue and French bulldogs.

Susan has written a guest blog post for Michelle Bufano’s Midpoint Blog. What a read!

Women in Law

Meet 23 women lawyers who are designing their own path and defining success on their terms! And they want you to do the same.

Women in Law Discovering the True Meaning of Success chronicles the stories of 23 women lawyers as each one embarks on her own personal journey of self-love, self-reflection, and self-awareness to define for herself what success means in law—and in life.

Each story is as unique as the author, expressing the trials and tribulations leading up to a defining moment in each author’s life. Some women share heartbreaking stories of challenges they have overcome, while others share stories of how they gained the strength to make the choice, in some cases, to follow a different path.

Women in Law provides uplifting and triumphant recollections with words of encouragement for those considering a career in law. Pre-law students, law students, and new lawyers will find these stories particularly poignant and helpful. In fact, women in any profession will find this book uplifting and encouraging as they embark on their own path toward defining success for themselves. Each story depicts a particularly evocative discovery of what is meaningful and how defining success is a personal endeavor.

The authors are confident that Women in Law will help dispel the myths surrounding the practice of law and its traditional definition of “success” while honoring the sacrifices that many women have made, and feel they must continue to make, to reach the pinnacle.

Proceeds from Women in Law are being donated to the charity, Ms. JD, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the success of women in law school and the legal profession.

Jennifer Hawks

Jennifer Hawk’s journey began on her grandmothers’ knee when she declared at 5 years old that she wanted to “help people.”  When her younger sister was born and suffered with a difficult to diagnose and treat medical condition that left the whole family frustrated, Jennifer, now 10 years older, witnessed the transformation that occurred once natural and integrative methods were employed. Her desire to “help others” was amplified.

In 2013, after 10 years working in the traditional medical system in Oncology, Internal Medicine, and Functional Medicine, Jennifer Nelson-Hawks had an opportunity to pursue her passion for Holistic health and wellness and formed Simply Health Collective.  Since that time she has continued to bring her heart and experience into creating a unique space for her clients to take back their health naturally. Jennifer has tirelessly expanded her knowledge and has recently obtained her Board Certification as a Doctor of Naturopathy.  She has also obtained a Board Certification as Holistic Health Practitioner, Iridologist, Holistic Health Coach, IASIS Practitioner as well as Bio-Resonance Practitioner. Through her growing practice and various modalities, she continues to create exceptional client experiences centered on each client's unique health-based needs no matter where in the world they reside.

When she's not out enjoying all things outdoors, Jennifer shares a home with her husband Chris and their beloved dog Q in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
