Ever wondered what it really takes to pivot from a high-pressure career into building your own online business? In this episode of Deets with Deanna, Deanna sits down with Whitney Di Bona — lawyer turned social media strategist, mom of two, and founder of The Branded Professional.

Whitney shares her journey from corporate law and representing women in landmark cases against cosmetic companies to realizing she wanted more freedom, impact, and joy in her work. After building a strong online presence, Whitney made the bold leap into entrepreneurship, helping lawyers, doctors, and other professionals grow their brands and visibility through social media.

Tune in to hear:

• Whitney’s unconventional path into law and what it was like working high-stakes cases involving cancer and asbestos exposure.

• The moment she realized she wanted out of the legal grind and how motherhood shaped her decision.

• How she used Instagram to pivot her career and land her first social media clients.

• What it really takes to grow on social media (hint: it’s not just posting three times and waiting).

• Why professionals like lawyers and doctors must embrace social media if they want visibility and opportunities today.

• Whitney’s honest perspective on pivoting, building a personal brand, and not needing to have it all figured out from day one.
