Meet Tovah and Rielly

Meet Tovah

Tovah Kopan spent years learning how to walk the fine line of femininity in the workplace to make men comfortable, but she shifted the paradigm when she realized it was limiting her life. This shift, paired with a move to leave the practice of law after six years, followed by a divorce, allowed Tovah to take ownership of her existence.

There are few people like Tovah—throughout her career, she has continued to be a serial helper. She is driven to help people set and reach goals, empowering them to chart their own paths to success.

It is Tovah’s rich personal and professional history that informs her ability to help others. She invested years into becoming a successful lawyer, but knew she could better serve others by being a legal research consultant, training and coaching teams of lawyers to reach their goals. Her evolution extended beyond the legal field and she became a health coach, implementing specific nutrition and fitness plans for individuals and families.

As a single parent, Tovah knows the power of preserving the parent-child relationship. In 2018, she co-founded Lawyer Moms Action in response to the illegal separation of migrant children from their parents by the U.S. government.

Whatever the realm may be, Tovah Kopan is driven to help those in need. As a co-founder of the Go Boldly Initiative, Tovah’s mission is to help women live their best lives

Meet Rielly

Rielly Karsh is a strategic thinker, coalition builder, and master communicator whose life has taken turns worthy of a memoir. Her story begins on a subsistence farm in northern New Hampshire, spans the tropics, the desert, the city, and now a small town in western New Jersey. Her experiences across rural and corporate America inform her love of country, her sense of civic duty, and her ability to inspire people.

While Rielly once dreamed of being a war correspondent, her love of environmental and social justice brought her to law school. Facing the debt that education brings, Rielly turned to Wall Street to practice finance, real estate, and securities law. She became an expert at solving complex problems and worked with women in power who challenged the status quo.

After four years in the financial world, Rielly wanted to be more than a cog in a legal machine that never sleeps. She walked away from Wall Street and into a life that was her own. Not only did she enrich her personal life by starting a family and becoming an active member of her community, she tapped into her creative side and launched a family and equine photography business.

In 2017, as the political landscape shifted, Rielly ran for her local town council and won. Campaigning showed her that moms are often undervalued and overlooked in politics. This prompted Rielly to launch Moms Running, an organization that equips moms with the network, training, and amplification they need to pursue political office.

Rielly Karsh knows the challenges of being a woman in a man’s world, and as a co-founder of the Go Boldly Initiative, she is determined to lead women into taking charge of their own lives.
