In this episode, I had the incredible opportunity to interview Cayce Lynch and Ashley Paige Fetyko of Tyson & Mendes. Two women whose friendship and leadership journey exemplify what it means to rise together. Cayce, the firm’s National Managing Partner, first crossed paths with Ashley years ago in another firm, and what began as shared office walls and parallel seasons of life has grown into a deep bond rooted in shared purpose. We talked about how their connection has shaped not only their careers but also the culture they're building at Tyson & Mendes, where authenticity, growth, and support aren’t just words, but they’re the foundation. From leading national educational initiatives to standing firm on their values, they’re creating real change in the legal and insurance defense industries.

What I appreciated most was their commitment to showing up fully, not just as professionals, but as women, mothers, and mentors. Cayce and Ashley shared the risks and rewards of living their values out loud. They spoke truthfully about the realities of caregiving, the power of asking for what you need (like pumping breaks at court), and how to create inclusive spaces where others feel seen. And of course, creating content that bridged the ideals of two very different powerhouse females: Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Taylor Swift, to share their wisdom with their firm and the broader industry.
