Ex-it Strategy - Meet the Hosts

Elizabeth is from Cary, NC and she grew up in a toxic family with an abusive father. Her parents stayed together for the kids. This is something they hear all the time as family law attorneys. Part of that is why she focuses on family law and it's all she has done professionally. Elizabeth has a master's and bachelor's in social work and worked in the nonprofit field before she began her practice. She has been married and divorced when her child was two so has experienced many of the aspects of divorce both personally and professionally. Sarah is a native of Raleigh, went to law school at Cambell. She discovered family law and fell in love with it. She loves dealing with people and getting to know them and why they tick. She is a big fan of true crime and juicy stories about understand why people do the things they do and the psychology behind it. She also loves going to court and litigating, the aspect of law that is arguing the law and what's right, and why things should be the way they are as opposed to what the other side things. So family law allows her to practice all these passions while getting to help people and walk beside them on the road of separation, divorce, and custody battles. Many people may assume the work of family law attorneys would be depressing, but Elizabeth and Sarah feel it's the best job in the world because they get to help make people's lives better every single day. People don't get married thinking this is only going to last a short time. Most go into it thinking it is for life so when it ends it is like a death. It's traumatic. On this show, we are going to share the good, the bad, the ugly, and over 30 years of stories. Laughter can be a potent medicine to deal with trauma and hardship and we're here to help you find some relief and let you know other people are dealing with this too. You're not crazy for feeling your feelings. You will also hear from Jen Bordeaux, who is our director of public relations during the show. She helps keep us on track and reach out to the community. We also plan on having special guests to walk through these important and interesting topics on upcoming episodes. We hope to walk with this through you so when you come out on the other side you go from victim to victor and from bitter to better.
