Bookmark

Lowenstein Sandler's Women's Initiative Podcast: Real Talk is a business podcast hosted by Lowenstein Sandler LLP. It has 50 episodes, with the latest published April 2026.

Through the Lowenstein Women's Initiative Network, we have had a forum for our women to build genuine friendships, facilitate trust and camaraderie, and gain new perspectives about the issues that often come to define the professional and personal lives of women operating in the corporate world. In this podcast, we're going to discuss strategies and practical tips that have been key to our successes and those of our colleagues and mentors, and just as importantly, talk through constructive ways to deal with setbacks and disappointments. Our goal will always be to keep our conversations honest and to provide our listeners with real, actionable advice and information to enrich your professional and personal lives.
