Listen Later

Ever dread facing awkward courtroom moments or uncomfortable topics with jurors? 🥴 

You're not alone.

I recently sat down with Heather Mitchell — a total badass trial lawyer who won a whopping $7.5 million medical malpractice verdict. 

Her secret? 

Bravely tackling tough topics like HPV, sexual history, and invisible injuries head-on. 

Heather shares how she moved past her fear of awkward courtroom silence (cue crickets). 

She reveals exactly HOW she shut down the potential "slut-shaming" defense before it got started. 

Heather proves that vulnerability and authenticity aren't weaknesses — they’re your greatest strengths in court.

Quote: 

"Fear is the saboteur. You have to get all those fears out of your head and remember there's always two cases: the one you litigated, and the one you actually try. A lot of what you're worried about won't even come out at trial. Letting go of that fear and believing in your jury—that’s everything." 

— Heather Mitchell
