Personal Confidence with Professional Counsel | Monica Burkoth | Ep 31

She's a successful trial attorney arguing high-stakes cases, but after becoming a mother, the inner tug to redefine herself beyond the courtroom surfaced loudly. Monica Burkoth, our guest, was challenged to look inward to find fulfillment through an authentic expression of herself, service to others, and something she was afraid might damage the way she was perceived in the legal world... a podcast. 

Balancing Act: How Monica Burkoth Merged Motherhood, Law, and Entrepreneurship 

Listen in to hear how Monica bravely faced the fear of judgment from her professional peers to pursue her passion for personal development and spirituality. Her story helps illuminate our shared desire to set an empowering example for our children, while noting that often the biggest obstacles are the ones we create in our minds. 

Key moments include:  

• The significance of maintaining financial stability while growing a business, and the challenges that come with offering services for free.  

• Challenges in building an audience versus creating a product first 

• Fears around how bosses, colleagues, friends, family, and others will judge your work once it goes public 

• Finding the balance between your business being a passion project and making money 

Personal and Professional Growth through Law, Motherhood, and Coaching 

Confidence is key, whether in the courtroom or behind a podcast microphone. Monica reveals how her background in law has uniquely equipped her to build confidence in others. We touch on her clever brand, Confidence Counsel, and how she's leveraging her legal expertise to empower others to embrace their voice.
