Powerhouse Lawyers

This week on Powerhouse Lawyers, we’re unwrapping money stories! [02:20] We are taught how to be lawyers, but not quite business owners. So, I’ve tagged Leah Miller in to share her insights on managing financials in law firms. [05:30] Firm owners, we’ve got to build our confidence in handling financial statements and data analysis! [11:33] It starts with moving through our fear of money and math! [14:35] Leah supports firm owners to move through their money stories by setting them up with a comprehensive view of their finances for better decision-making and starting with goal-oriented financial planning. [16:44] Investing in your business through coaching, hiring staff, working through financial challenges is your key to building the business and office culture that you want! [22:52] Associates, we didn’t forget about you! Leah breaks down the foundations for starting a law firm. [27:37] Then, we end with Leah’s Legally Blonde Moment! A romance author and a horror film director walk into a bar, what could come of that? [36:02]

This week’s Powerhouse Lawyers episode, we have the opportunity to unmute ourselves with guest Nancy Medoff! [01:28] Nancy is on a mission to dismantle negative narratives and empower women. She came to the right place! We get a peak into Nancy's personal journey to "unmute herself," pivot, and resign from her corporate job. [06:11] Stepping into your power means speaking up, engaging in positive self-talk, reversing negative self-narratives, and overcoming the feeling of being an imposter. [10:14] Best thing yet, Nancy shows us how all of this works in real time with a live coaching session with yours truly! [17:43] We tackle a lot of barriers to success, but are still expected to be just as impressive as our counterparts. Your launch into life starts with confidence! [24:27] Then we sound off with Nancy’s Legally Blonde Moment. Everyone likes a good office meme, right? [31:21]

[04:33] Karalynn is sharing her experience of making the law work for her. Starting with tracking down her own family's money. [08:17] As she got good at being an on demand lawyer for construction companies, that also came with working in a fairly male dominant industry. Getting very specific about work expectations and boundaries has become her superpower. [17:34] But what about learning to work with the new generation of lawyers? Turns out, money isn’t everything for the baby lawyers passing the bar. [27:45] As Karalynn works toward being one of few attorneys doing construction law, we talk about next steps [32:05] before wrapping up with her Legally Blonde Moment. [34:24]

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]
