Powerhouse Lawyers

Hey Powerhouses, this week we are discussing the challenges of business ownership, particularly for women, and emphasizing the importance of delegation. Raquel Gomes, founder of Stafi, shares her journey from a demanding corporate career to creating a staffing solution that empowers women in law. The conversation highlights the need for proper hiring practices and the significance of creating a supportive work culture that prioritizes mental health and work-life balance.

Raquel and I delve into the challenges women face regarding self-worth, delegation, and self-love. We discuss societal pressures that lead to perfectionism and the difficulty many women have in asking for help. The importance of recognizing one's worth and embracing self-care is emphasized, along with practical exercises to foster self-love. There is a surprising amount of empowerment that comes from delegating tasks and the necessity of setting boundaries to cultivate a fulfilling life!

Welcome back, Powerhouses! This week, I'm joined by the incredible voice coach and communication consultant, Samm Sidicario. Sammi’s journey from musical theater to empowering leaders and professionals to own their voices is nothing short of inspiring. With over 20 years of experience, she’s mastered the art of vocal tonality, stage presence, and unlocking the true power of our voices.

Sammi reveals how our voice tonality, pitch, and cadence impact how others perceive us—and how we can use this to our advantage, especially in the legal and executive worlds. We also dive into the fascinating science of voice as a bridge between our inner thoughts and external impact. Whether you're looking to command a room, connect with empathy, or simply stop being interrupted, Sammi’s insights offer practical tools to transform your communication.
