Beverly Hills Lawyer Finds 52 Weeks of Hope For Her Second Act- Lauren Abrams | #84
Successful Beverly Hills lawyer, Lauren Abrams, joins Shannon on the Second Act Success Career Podcast to share the inspiration behind her second act launching 52 Weeks of Hope. Lauren is the founding member and managing partner of the Law Offices of Lauren Abrams, where she has practiced employee law for over 22 years. After facing a "dark night of the soul" experience, Lauren realized that you can look like you have it all on the outside and not feel like you do on the inside. Lauren sought to find the true meaning of life and she began asking people all over the question of "why are we here?"
After months of interviewing an older demographic to gather their wisdom, Lauren knew these stories were too good not to share. She began writing about her conversations in the book 52 Weeks of Hope. She then followed it with a podcast of the same name where she spreads inspiration of hope through more conversations with others.
Join Lauren and Shannon as they discuss Lauren's journey from law into creating hope for others on Episode #84 of the Second Act Success Career Podcast.

Get Back On That Horse with Heather Wallace | #82
So often we think the dreams we have as little kids can not possibly become reality when we are adults, right? Well, my guest on Episode 82 is about to prove us wrong! Heather Wallace began riding horses at a very young age, but after suffering from anxiety in her teens she stopped riding. Decades later after a career in medical publishing, three kids, and time as a stay-at-home mom, Heather returned to her love of horses in a different way.
Heather turned her passion into a career as a certified equine and canine sports massage therapist. Not only does she help animals, but she got back on that horse as an adult rider. Heather is also an author and hosts a podcast about the horse world as well. On this episode of the Second Act Success Career Podcast, Heather shares how she made the decision to pivot into this world once again despite her fear, and how you can overcome your anxiety to pursue your passion as a career too!
