    LEARNED LESSONS--A BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION

    It’s my 34th birthday! To celebrate, I am releasing this solo episode where I reflect on the lessons learned during my 33rd year—my most challenging year to date.  When I turned 33, I wanted to be intentional about the things to come.  I prayed for abundance but yet, I was not prepared for the challenges that awaited me.  I certainly did not expect to leave my job and take a seven-month sabbatical from the practice of law.  I later learned that to receive all the things I was praying for, some things in my life had to change.  I also had to relearn myself and do the necessary work within myself to get to know me again—mentally, spiritually, emotionally and physically.   This last year was truly a year of growth and I look forward to continued growth in this next year.  I am excited to celebrate another year with my viewers and listeners. The most important lesson learned during my 33rd year- always trust yourself and never apologize for being your authentic self! Cheers to another year! #blackwomeninlaw #blackwomenprofessionals #blackwomenlawyers #authenticity #unapologetically #unapologetic #legallyunapologetic #newpodcastalert #newpodcastepisode   Website: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2143361   Instagram: @legallyunapologetic  Instagram: @omg_esq  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCC18Fz-UKOJB6BF0C2AmQEw   Linktree: https://linktr.ee/legallyunapologeticthepodcast Contact: omgesq@gmail.com   Theme Music: “Legally *Unapologetic” Produced by: Versace P (@versaceptheofficial)

    SUCCESS WITHOUT SELF-WORTH MEANS NOTHING PART II (Featuring Joy White, Esq.)

    Success is the key to having a great life, right?  But what is success without self-worth and self-fulfillment?  Joy White, Esq., is a successful attorney and entrepreneur in Atlanta, Georgia.  Prior to starting her own company in 2020, Joy achieved immense success as a partner of a global law firm and general counsel at Morehouse College.  To most, Joy had it all.  However, and unbeknownst to most in Joy’s circle, she was struggling to heal from her own personal traumas—to the point in which these traumas started to appear in other aspects of her personal and professional life.    In part two of this conversation, Joy shares how she addressed her unresolved trauma as part of her own healing process.  She also discusses how she turned her life and experience into a successful coaching business, where she helps her clients embrace their flaws while transforming unconscious shame into radical self-acceptance.  A flawed masterpiece, Joy has found joy and happiness in her own personal journey.  Her raw story is an inspiration to all—as she reminds us of what authenticity looks like and why we should unapologetically be ourselves.    #blackwomeninlaw #blackwomenprofessionals #blackwomenlawyers #womensupportingwomen #womenempoweringwomen #womenempowerment #authenticity #unapologetic #legallyunapologetic #newpodcastalert #newpodcastepisode    Website: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2143361   Instagram: @legallyunapologetic  Instagram: @omg_esq    YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCC18Fz-UKOJB6BF0C2AmQEw  Linktree: https://linktr.ee/legallyunapologeticthepodcast Finding Joy in the Journey: A Flawed Masterpiece Short Film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNlDpEdyA7g&t=8s   Contact: omgesq@gmail.com  Theme Music: “Legally *Unapologetic” Produced by: Versace P (@versaceptheofficial)

    I QUIT MY BIG LAW JOB UNAPOLOGETICALLY

    Welcome to Legally *Unapologetic.  In this series premiere, former big law associate, Octavia M. Green, or “OMG,” candidly and openly discusses her struggles with burn out and mental health, which ultimately led her to quit her job and reevaluate her purpose and passions in life. Although a tough decision, OMG now knows that she has a bigger purpose in life and has decided to use her unpredictable pivot away from private practice to serve as an opportunity to be a voice.  In this podcast series, OMG aims to shed light on issues that are unique to black women professionals, while also encouraging black women to embrace and celebrate their uniqueness and individuality, unapologetically.  Most importantly, OMG challenges listeners to periodically check in with themselves—mentally, physically, spiritually and emotionally—to ensure that they are unapologetically and truly living the lives they want. OMG’s passion for wanting to uplift, encourage and inspire other black women—despite her exit from big law—serves as a catalyst for creating this podcast series.  Join her and other successful black women professionals as they openly discuss their own experiences and perspectives on navigating corporate America as black women while managing the chaos that comes with life.   #newpodcastalert #newpodcast #blackwomeninlaw #blackwomenprofessionals #blackwomenlawyers #authenticity #unapologetic #legallyunapologetic Website: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2143361 Instagram: @legallyunapologetic  Instagram: @omg_esq  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCC18Fz-UKOJB6BF0C2AmQEw Contact: omgesq@gmail.com Theme Music: “Legally *Unapologetic" Produced by: Versace P (@versaceptheofficial)
