Today's guest had two major surprises while attending Columbia Law School. Specifically, she found out that she was pregnant with twins in her 2L year. Thankfully, she had a strong support system of family and friends that helped her finish law school on time and land a job in BigLaw in litigation. She managed to juggle the demands of work and single parenting for eight years in BigLaw before transitioning to a role in the investigations department of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Eventually, she left the SEC to become an accredited Financial Counselor to help lawyers and others learn how to pay down their debt and make wise financial decisions that will enable them to live the lifestyle that they want. I was blown away by her grit and honesty and I'm sure you will be, too.
