legal careers

Beat overwhelm, transform your life, and become a taskmaster with the Powerhouse Brain dump workbook! [00:00] This episode of Powerhouse Lawyers, we are tackling the challenges of introversion in the legal profession with guest, Heidi Brown. [05:23] But, hold on! Let’s get into what it even means to be an introvert versus an extrovert. [14:15] If you identify as an introvert in an industry that readily rewards extroverted behaviors, how do you navigate your anxiety coupled with your personality traits? Heidi walks us through somatic intelligence as one of the keys to fulfillment. [17:27] A big part of our ability to show up as our best selves at work is practicing Heidi’s Comparative Fearlessness exercise. I promise y’all, life is so much more manageable when you acknowledge your strengths and decide to lean into your authenticity. [32:38] And of course Heidi dishes out this edition of our Legally Blonde Moment. Let’s just say Vegas always calls another version of ourselves out! [36:01]

Do you ever feel like your to-do list is running your life instead of the other way around? The Braindump workbook is your answer to finding freedom! [00:00] This week we get to speak with Navneet Mann about how not all big leaps are of faith, but rather fear. [01:38] But it was ultimately a lunch appointment to get her heart tested that launched her into a more purposeful life. [04:45] Separating law from your identity is something we all struggle with. Our profession can become all consuming. Especially when you add being a law practicing woman of color. [13:53] It is these experiences of isolation, competition, and overwhelm that motivated Navneet to add creativity back into her life and work. [28:21] Some times that creativity includes a Legally Blonde Moment that happens right before the mics are on! [40:31] Closing [43:10]

Even the most accomplished legal minds can feel like they are drowning. This Brain Dump workbook is the answer to your overwhelm! [00:00] Today's episode features another Powerhouse guest that deserves to lead a master class in confidence. Maddison Koper – law firm owner, serial entrepreneur, and life coach walks us through her journey to becoming a lawyer. Starting at 13 years old! [02:11] As a first-gen college and law student, Maddison had no example of what is meant to be a lawyer or lead the scale of life she has now. [09:30] Breaking barriers in her personal life provided the building blocks for being the confident person she is, today.  [13:12] How do the rest of us use confidence to transform our life too? [27:19] The answer is actually one of the core values of being a Powerhouse Lawyer: it’s never the how, always the who. [30:20] Maddison’s audacity to show up and believe in herself, created the Sunshine Law Firm, practicing holistic lawyering. [33:15] Believe it or not, the name for her firm came as uniquely as she is! [51:07] Closing [55:29]

Alright powerhouse, this Powerhouse Lawyer episode is about money! We’ve heard all of the tips about how to make money, spend money, and save money. But what’s your money mindset? How are you emotionally connected to money? [00:33] Our guest, Hannah Chapman, is guiding us through this conversation. As a financial coach and planner, Hannah is our subject matter expert! [06:24] Let’s start with thinking of creative ways to build and scale your firm. We’re going back to the billable hour, here! [15:42] But before we can make shifts with our money, we have to confront our money stories. [20:23] Can your personality type play a role in how you engage with money? [30:17] Oh, Hannah covers something about Money Magnetism. We get into the details of what that means [37:50] before logging off with a Legally Blonde Moment! A dog's best friend is another dog, right? [50:25] Closing

As lawyers, we read every contract right? I’ll be the first to tell you, I am not that kind of lawyer. [00:31] But our guest, Nada Alnajafi, makes contracts easy with her company Contract Nerds. [03:08] Believe it or not, there are more people like you and me who struggle to decipher what the heck that document even meant. Contract Nerds answers our questions and creates a community of people committed to understanding contracts and negotiations better. [09:29] But, less dial the nerd out session back for a moment because I need you to know that Nada is doing all of this as a side hustle while practicing law! Remember when I said we can make the law work for us? [22:45] As cool as she is, Nada reminds us that she is still human with her Legally Blonde Moment. [31:37] Closing

Welcome back Powerhouse! Let’s hop right in. Our guest today is a revolutionary powerhouse, Gwen Griggs, lawyer and trailblazer of eliminating the billable hour. We all know the love-hate relationship we have with billing. [00:33] Not having a background in law has served Gwen well. In fact, she decided she wanted to be a lawyer after learning about the Brown versus Board of Education case at 11 years old. [02:51] Gwen’s struggle with billing clients an ominous fee, led her to look for alternatives. Believe it or not, the answer was found in building clear work boundaries with your clients, removing unlimited access to you and your services, and creating systems that give your client confidence in your skills and timeline. [05:37] If you’re like me, I want to figure out how to do this! Gwen offers coaching to implement this new billing method for lawyers. [22:44] And of course, we finish off with Gwen’s Legally Blonde Moment. You know you’ve reached the correct Gwen, when her email ends with “If you have any concerns, please don’t call.” [45:12] Closing [46:19]

Welcome back to the Powerhouse Lawyers podcast! [00:00] The PHL community talks a lot about releasing ourselves from imposter syndrome and old versions of ourselves. Success starts when we decide to break free from the prisons of our mind and emotions. [00:30] Our guest today is Gary Miles. Lawyer, coach, and author of Breaking Free: A Guide to Achieving Personal and Professional Freedom as a Lawyer. [04:02] Gary’s journey of breaking free started with releasing himself from people pleasing and learning to practice law in and out of sobriety. [08:33] What saved his career and cultivated the life he wanted, was his openness to ask for help. As lawyers, we struggle to ask for support because we think we are supposed to know everything. [14:09] But, freedom is found in holding a hand while you work to shift your mindset and old beliefs away from what’s holding you back. [19:50] Gary’s book goes into detail about what these mental prisons can consist of–some you and I have experienced– and how to let that go! [27:03] Then of course, we bring Gary into the fold of Legally Blonde Moments. Have you ever forgotten your client's name? Yes, but what about in front of the jury?! [35:23] Closing [37:23]

Welcome back, powerhouse! [00:00] You know what has held me back the most in my career and life? The “shoulds” of the world! Who told us life HAS to look this way? [00:37] Our guest Lauren Klein is one that actually lives life in a way that shows just how much our life truly is our own! Private practice law doesn’t have to come 20 years into your journey. [04:25] Especially when we don’t have time to wait because not only are we lawyers and women, but we’re mom’s! [09:14] Lauren tells us just how she made the transition from big law to private practice [14:20] and the mindset shifts she endured to rise to the occasion [19:47]. You all know I love a fast track to where we want to be. Can you imagine how far we would have been if we had a Lauren during our stint as law students? [26:35] But, even more than mentorship and coaching, community will always make the cream rise to the top! [33:07] Lauren’s Legally Blonde Moment includes 2 blondes making their mark. Elle Woods strikes again! [38:18] Closing [40:55]

Welcome back, Powerhouse! [0:00] We are in for a treat with this episode. We’re talking all things fashion, style, and how exactly those two things impact your career. [00:33] Style expert for us lady lawyers, Estelle Winsett is here to provide back up while we work through just how she and Elle Woods merged their love for law and fashion. [03:03] Believe it or not, the way you show up to the office can hold you back. Our superiors often make hiring and promotion decisions largely based on how we present ourselves. [08:01] So, Estelle supports lawyers in finding their signature style–starting with Pinterest, a closet cleanse, and then confidence. [12:14] Let’s get some notes on how to not waste time or money while revamping our wardrobe! [21:25] Finally, our Legally Blonde Moment reminds us that Kelly Clarkson still hits!

Welcome back Powerhouse Lawyers! [00:00] As the new year calls us to bring our best selves to the table, what’s the secret to actually doing that? I’ll die on the hill of finding clarity in what  you actually desire! What do you want your life to look like? Now, work backwards. [00:33] Our episode guest is in the throes of showing exactly what that looks like! Kayla Moran, attorney, Host of The Let’s Get Candid Podcast, blogger, and CEO. She is the definition of seizing the moment and taking messy action. [03:12] One of her super powers: networking. Kayla tells us how she shifted her networking skills from focusing on answering ‘what can I get out of this?’ to ‘what do I find interesting about this person?’ [15:58] With the many pivots and leaps of faith Kayla has taken, her blog played a role in what her career looks like now. [22:29] Legally Blonde Moment: Elle Woods went back to law school and continues to be pretty in pink for the generations to come! [01:00:43] Closing [01:09:50]

Happy New Year, powerhouse! We’re in motion already in this new chapter. Let’s end this one not just good, but great! [00:33] And you know what hill I always preach from for going from good to great: community. Many of us set goals and achieved most of them last year. That’s just what we do! But what if those achievements were alongside other badass women that could 10x your impact? [02:57] But first, let’s discuss what we are working towards. Hopefully not a new year resolution! [07:16] Instead, choose a focus and then reverse engineer it! [09:18] This week’s Legally Blonde Moment is a gift that keeps on…taking? [19:39] Closing [20:59]

This Powerhouse Lawyers episode serves as our Year in Review! We have to go back and reflect to prepare to go forward. [00:33] So, let’s get into the massive pivot in business and life that catapulted the 2023 year of Expansion! Believe it or not, it started with my own coach pushing me out of the bird’s nest kicking and screaming. [02:31] This is the fire under my butt that I needed to launch Powerhouse Lawyers, record over 30 episodes, and sell out 2 retreats. [08:40] The best part is my commitment and impact didn’t begin or end with my business. As a wife, a mother, a community member… I took expansion seriously! [15:40] But that took a lot of work. So, here’s what I learned this year? [19:34] In an effort to boot the “resolution” trend, my word for 2024 is Impact [36:14] But first, can the mom’s listening get a shout out and parade for this Legally Blonde Moment? Whoever came up with Elf on a Shelf is getting a big box of coal this year! [38:24] Closing [40:30]

Hey powerhouse, put on your seat belts because we’re diving deep this week! Ever heard of big “T” and little “t” trauma? [00:40] Our guest Amy Van Slambrook–psychotherapist, strategist, and transformational coach walks us through exactly what this buzzword means. Amy supports high profile and even higher achieving clients with their healing journey. Ultimately aiding in their success. [03:10] But, how do you know if you've experienced trauma at all? Most of us may say we’re fine. We had a couple of speed bumps, but we’re fine now. [10:50] For powerhouse lawyers like us, the rejection in the office is an example of trauma. It’s not just your feelings being hurt, not you needing to work harder… We underestimate the stripping of our being when it comes to fitting into the world of law. It even starts in grad school. [17:17] So, how do we start to heal and who is this inner child, exactly? [23:20] Here are a few questions Amy suggests using to check-in with yourself [30:09] and she offers some starter resources. [40:18] Last but not least, the infamous Legally Blonde Moment! This one if for the braces wearers AND the tea lovers. [43:26] Closing [47:10]

Welcome back to the Powerhouse Lawyer podcast! [00:33] If you didn’t know, I am a proud Christian entrepreneur! God is the CEO of my life and I’m grateful to be able to do the work I do. A part of this work is connecting with other like minded women…so I went to a Brooke Thomas conference! [01:22] I soaked up so much information and got loved on by some incredible women. These are my big takeaways from the many speakers and workshops. I could not wait to come back to tell you! [07:11] This conference was truly transformational and I’m looking forward to holding these lessons close to my heart as I move into 2024. But, before I set you loose to meditate on this, let me get you into me legally blonde moment of the week. Is there a workshop for packing a carry-on? [17:14] Closing [19:15]

It’s been more than a couple of weeks since the last Powerhouse Lawyer Retreat in September. Let me catch you up on this transformational experience [00:31] I had a vision–determined to bring to life a space for women lawyers looking for community. In anything new that we try, we learn lessons along the way. My big lesson in curating this experience: faith over fear because fear is always a liar! [05:04] Despite the pushback from all sides, I had two sold out retreats. The women walked away equipped with how to build and nurture a community that ushers you into success. [12:46] You need a community of women that are taking up the same fight as you. Register for the February 2024 PHL retreat in Scottsdale, Arizona [19:48] Before I leave you, let’s get into my Legally Blonde Moment of the week. Did someone call for junior Powerhouses?

Do you know what Human Design is? As Powerhouses we can learn to use it as a tool of understanding ourselves and the way we show up in the world. [00:33] Our guest, Amanda Stark, is here to guide us through the details. Not only is she a Human Design expert, but she’s a lawyer that affectionately calls herself a Sparkly Witch! [03:40] Amanda reminds us of what an alternative career can look like. She abruptly left law (not recommended, but it worked out for her!) to figure out what works for her on her own terms. [06:07] Her big advice: take the next best step without knowing the entire plan and road map, there is always ground to catch you. [12:02] Finally, we get into what you really want to know… what the heck is Human Design? [13:11] Unlike the self help books we buy to pick apart who we are, Human Design walks us through how to use the knowledge of self in our everyday life: trusting your instincts, understanding how you make decisions and how you think. [24:03] Alright, I hope you wrote all of that down, Amanda covered a lot! But she doesn’t forget to leave an extra special nugget for us Powerhouses: “This is in my mind, I am not being rushed.” [53:37] Then of course, we end the show with Amanda’s Legally Blonde Moment. [01:01:57] Closing [01:04:00]

I don’t know if you all know, but it takes a whole lot of audacity to go after what you want. As embarrassed as I used to be of this story, my audacity got me into my dream college. [00:34] Which is one of the many pivotal moments that shaped my life, my career, and my learning how to ask for exactly what I want. Apparently, we’re allowed to ask for that! [03:42] But HOW do you ask for what you want? How do you even freaking know what you want? Hold on! Let’s start small, girl. [06:56] While you build your list of little wins toward what you want, let’s take a moment to laugh at ourselves. I’ll go first with this week’s Legally Blonde Moment [10:49] Closing [14:39]

What do you want to be remembered for? Today’s guest says her legacy is in seeing value in the race car driver AND the pit crew. [00:40] Heather Olson’s journey to becoming a lawyer started with a three million dollar case settlement. The even better part about that, she wasn’t even a lawyer, yet! [04:36] Besides her incredible track record as an attorney, Heather also shows us what it means to build a business through intentional leadership. [11:11] One of her keys to success: personal and firm core values. That’s how she is able to stay on track, know when a new hire is a good fit, and even when it’s time to transition someone out of the company. [18:13] With values comes boundaries and dealing with conflict as a team. Pivoting is hard, but pivoting as a unit?! That’s a marathon! [23:19] So, how do other law practices get better at managing people, not just case loads? Turns out, that’s the make or break detail to successful teams and attorney careers! [28:06] As a blueprint for equitable and people first business practices, Olson Law has a lot in store for the future. [39:00] But, all work and no play makes for a dull Powerhouse Lawyer. Heather shares her Legally Blonde moment! Let’s just say, you think you’ve had enough of the treadmill? Sometimes the treadmill has had enough of you! [44:01]

Oprah let us in on her superpower, she hasn’t ever experienced imposter syndrome! [00:55] I know for a fact that Oprah is a unicorn because the rest of us have felt the persistent feeling of not being good enough. In fact, my own imposter syndrome almost killed the Powerhouse Lawyers podcast before it even began! [02:24] How do you know when you’re experiencing imposter syndrome? We dive into some of its prime characteristics and how it can truly take over your mind, body, and life! [06:30] I know lawyers are extra prone to imposter syndrome. We have been told to do all of the right things our entire lives! Perfection or perish! [09:33] So, how do we combat imposter syndrome? [12:59] Most immediately, a good laugh can ease some of the burden on your shoulders. So, take a moment to laugh at my Legally Blonde moment! You can count on me to hold a glass of wine steady!
