Listen "Why I Hate Calling Myself A Lawyer"
Episode Synopsis
Send us a textI’m thrilled to be bringing you the first episode in Season 7 and I’m sharing something I’ve wanted to talk about for a long time. In this episode, I’m talking about why I genuinely hate calling myself a lawyer, and I don’t say that lightly. The word ‘lawyer’ usually has some very negative connotations attached. From working in the industry for 20 years, I absolutely understand why a lot of people feel so strongly against lawyers and the attitudes they commonly hold. In fact, I rarely associate with lawyers outside of work!In this episode, I share my journey in the industry and why I chose to step away from the traditional way of practicing law to start my own firm where my focus is to educate and empower my clients in a simple, honest and practical way. When I first started practicing law, I wanted to change the world one client at a time. I quickly realised that if I wanted to be successful, I needed to commit my entire existence to work. According to industry expectations, I reached success and I talk about how doing so led me to become stressed, overworked and overweight. I share more of this journey and how my perspective completely changed after the birth of my son, helping me discover what really matters in life and how I wanted to live it.I’m so excited that I get to bring these episodes to you and work with my clients in a way that genuinely helps them. My goal here is to leave you feeling equipped with everything you need to set yourself up for success and feel protected, supported and empowered.
